Hey, I have a Toshiba Satellite L655D that I've had for the last 3 years.
Recently, it started having shutdowns. What happens is it just losses power. No event logs other than saying that it lost power.
I tried pulling the battery and that didn't help.
I noticed that it seems to happen when attempting to go into sleep, or while running screen savers.
I don't believe it's overheating, since I replaced the thermal paste, and cleaned the fan about 6 months ago. It's running cooler than it ran back than.
I've ran a few stability tests.
It passes Prime95, both blend, and FTTs. I was able to do over 30 min with each. Considering I was testing for power issues, I figured that to be enough.
I was able to bench MaxMEM2
I tested memtest86 two times, and both times failed within 7 min, shutdown.
I ran heaven, got some display driver failure reports, and than total power loss.
So, I've narrowed it down to two possibility's. First, which I'm leaning towards is bad memory. This would explain the troubles with sleep, and both memtest, and heaven fails. Yet I was able to bench in MaxMEM2, and pass prime blend.
The 2nd is the on board graphics, however, I fail to see how this would affect the memtest86.
I'm kind of at a loss, if it's the memory, it's not a big deal, I'll just replace it. However, if it has to do with the on board, than that would be a waste of money.
I do know that memtest86 can be affected by things other than memory, and that the heaven fail can be from memory.
So, what do you guys think? Memory, on board, or other?
