Cool, I'll do that. Thanks for all your help. Downloading Killdisk now. Here's a dumb question that could perhaps help in the future; when I had an Acer laptop, the drive was formatted so if I needed/wanted to reinstall Windows, I wouldn't lose my documents. My Toshiba doesn't have a...

When I boot into Safe Mode with Networking, the problem still happens. It takes maybe a minute or two longer, but sure enough, as soon as it connects to the Internet (and I mean connects; doesn't matter if I don't do a thing on the net, if my adapter connects, this happens) it crashes. I guess...
