Alright, first off, the box in question
Toshiba M35X Satellite Notebook, 256 RAM, 1.5 GHTZ CPU, DVD/CR-Burner, 802.11 b/g wireless card on mobo, 10/100 Ethernet card (on mobo). Approx 7 months old.
Alright, now onto the problem:
I've spent the past half month in Ttexas with the laptop, where I was using the ethernet connection for net access instead of wireless, seeing as we did not have a internet connected wireless network on the location.
I got home Friday, unpacked, and friday evening I booted the laptop up, to transfer some files from it to my desktop (new fonts I grabbed, vid files, graphic projects). The wireless connected to the home network, file transfer began, I walked away.
Five minutes later, I hear the laptop beep beep. I look in, and see the laptop on the POST screen, with the following error message:
This message only appears when the Wireless card is "on" (there is a on/off slider on the laptop for the card) when restarting the laptop.Laptop Error Message on POST wrote:Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller on Motherboard
Bus: 02 Device: 02 Function: 00
First step: I uninstalled the device drivers, and reloaded them. Windows loaded fine, network card was on, worked for 5 minutes, the laptop froze.
Step Two: Possible problem with a program I was running, as the uninstall file became corrupted, I decided to burn nessacry info to a Cd and transfer it to desktop. That done, I reimaged the laptop using the Toshiba OEM disc.
Network card on, computer freezes, unfreezes and locks up.
I'm as of now out of ideas short of cracking open the laptop, a thing I'm not doing (it's still under warrenty).
At this point, I'm willing to take suggestions on what may be causing this, possible ways to fix it, short of calling up Toshiba and sending it into them for repairs (It usually takes a week or so for round trip, depending on seriousness).
So....can anyone offer a bit of help on this? Or should I just called Toshiba and get them to repair the machine?
