Each of these pieces of information can provide insights into the nature of the problem. Here's a breakdown of the information provided:

It typically occurs when a system component tries to access pageable memory at a process IRQL (Interrupt Request Level) that was too high. This can be due to faulty hardware, corrupted system files, incompatible drivers, or a failing hard drive.

• OS Version, Service Pack, Product: These indicate the version of Windows you are running (Windows 7 Ultimate without any service pack installed). To troubleshoot this BSOD error, here are some steps you can take:
  1. Check for Hardware Issues: Test your RAM using Windows Memory Diagnostic or third-party tools, and ensure all hardware components are connected properly.
  2. Update Drivers: Make sure all device drivers are up to date. You can visit Toshiba's official website to download the latest drivers for your laptop model.
  3. Run System File Checker (SFC): Use the SFC tool to scan and repair corrupted system files that may be causing the issue.
  4. Check the Hard Drive: Run a disk check to scan and fix any errors on your hard drive.
  5. Check for Malware: Perform a full system scan with an antivirus program to rule out malware as a cause. If you need more detailed steps or further assistance, feel free to ask. It's great that you're reaching out for help, and we're here to assist you through this issue.
