Hi,
I have a three year old Toshiba A200 that started to behave in a strange manner.
Symptoms:
1. applications (Ubuntu LInux) started to get grey as they took a long time to run.
2. the fan started to make a lot of noise.
First, I though it was a disk issue, although SMART reported no error.
Changed the disk and the problem remained.
Then, I though it could be an operating system problem.
But I got the same fan noise when the computer was rebooting, when still at the grub menu, after working for some time.
So it seems that there is some kind of problem that is neither from disk nor operating system.
What could it be? Motherboard? Just the cooling system not working properly?
Any hints on this?
TIA,
Luis
