How come my Toshiba laptop is locking up? It is running pretty warm...I also got an out of RAM warning a week ago...This Toshiba is a puny weakling or sumpin'? It's an A15-S129...so the MB shares lots of duties...

Lower your F@H to 85% and you should be OK

Laptops tend to run hot. You might want to back the amount of CPU used to something less than 100%.

I haven't had to do that, I simply put a couple of pens under the back corners to allow air-flow underneath.

You can also tilt the display down to about 45 degrees and place it on it's side, vents up. If you haven't already, you will probably want to set FAH to suspend when you are on battery power. I also had to adjust the power management setting to prevent "sleep" while on wall power. It won't fold if your CPU goes to sleep.
