Hi,
now I have something which I could not find in all this very helpful site: I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 NOTEBOOK (!) which had the mentionend IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on shutting down - but as it wasn't frequently updated I thought well - what the heck - gimme all there ist to it from Microsoft and Norton. Everything installed fine, looked great - thought I'll reboot this baby and I'm fine.
Now comes the problem. The mashine will start booting XP but when switching over to full-res screen the BSOD will appear - EVEN IN SAFE MODE!!! And no related driver information.
What I did try: swapping RAM with other notebooks and running memtest: all ok. Entering in the recovery console and renaming EVERYTHING related to Norton/Symantec. Can't make a repair istall as I only have XP recovery disks and need to get data from the HDD. Have a 2000 boot disk from which I used the recovery console.
Tried booting knoppix Linux-on-cd, but that will fail on registering acpi-components. starting knoppix noacpi - gives no cure.
Any help will be appreciated.
Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600
PIII 800MHz 256kb cache
256MB RAM
20GB disk
Trident(?)-compatible video
intel 815 chipset
Guess intel 82820 Sound chip
