cheers.... I'm still getting this intermittently - though when docked (wired) as well as undocked (wireless) :-S my latest ruse is to have windows resource monitor running all the time to see if I can catch it, but the one time it happened since I started doing it I had the window minimised! you couldn't make it up..... will keep you posted

I had the same problem, but with an M400. It didn't happen too often, but it was pretty annoying. Try updating the BIOS, or what I did, Use the laptop in front of a fan. I found that doing this, or using my laptop outside really helps.
I hope this works for you,

after a few weeks I found that the problem with my R705 is caused at the moment when the wifi card does the transition between wireless APs. I realize that one AP has WPA security mode and the second one has WPA/WPA2 mixed mode. so I set them both to WPA security mode and I haven't had the problem for a week.

i have used Windows Event Viewer to look for critical errors. and found a Samsung printer driver that was causing problems. have disabled it at startup and so far so good. but no real confidence in this as a solution lol! :-S

This is still happening - and still unanswered.
I can still find no real pattern, however the latest suspect is this error message from Event Viewer, which is an ever present when I have rebooted, and recorded at around the time of the freeze
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device TOSHIBA\GPS2\3564000305669800_09.
From what I can find out this is a Windows driver, I have no idea what the device is though? :-S
I found a similar thread on a US Toshiba forum at http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Drivers-and-Utilities/The-driver-Driver-WUDFRd-failed-to-load-for-the-device-TOSHIBA/td-p/204404
They seem to think is a hardware issue but I'm really not convinced. There's some further info and diagnostics on that thread. The only real oddity I can find is as follows (screen shots on other thread)
"Device Manager, found a Smart Card Reader "Ericsson F3607gw for TOSHIBA Mobile Broadband USIM Port" (ss2)
when I view properties it says "No drivers are installed for this device" (ss3)
however when I try to update the driver I am told all drivers are up to date?! :-S (ss4)"
So frankly I am no further forward, still baffled, and still irriated every time it happens. |

This is the 3G driver.
You can find this here for download:

The updated Fingerprint driver fixed the freezing problem on my R700.
I don't think it's a problem with the Fingerprint utility itself, it seems to be an issue with the Authentec driver. So you should double check that the Authentec driver version in Device Manager increases in revision to ensure the problem is resolved.

Rather than uninstalling fingerprint reader software or disabling the fingerprint reader biometric device in Device Manager, your help testing the efficacy of the following procedure to disable power management of the fingerprint reader would be appreciated:
1. Start -> Control Panel - > System
2. Click on Device Manager
3. Click on “Biometric Devices”
4. Right-Click on “AuthenTec, Inc. AES1660”
5. Select “Properties”
5. Select “Power Management” tab
6. Uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power”
If you've been experiencing the lockup/freeze issue, please try the above procedure and report back if you continue to have the issue after making this change.
