What sort of Tosh is it? It wouldn't by any chance be a Satellite 5100 series would it??? I have one & it started going crazy (actually the nVidia Go400 graphics card was dying). Apparently I was lucky to get the number of years I did out of it (abour 5). Even though the graphics card is removeable and can be replaced (but absolutely not worth the significant expense), I have not managed to track one down at a reasonable price. So now I have a Tosh that works OK - but cannot run dual screens
So I just picked up the latest Aldi weekly special & although it hasn't got the greatest graphics card, it will run dual screens and has a heap of great features and extras AND the internal DVDRW reads & writes CDG
I will be interested to find out what you mean by crazy
Beware of excessive heat - it will fry the graphics card if not the entire PC
The fact that yours goes crazy after its been running for 20mins makes me think you may be experiencing the first stage of this problem
