1. Back up your data onto an external hard drive.
2. Restore the computer to factory condition using whatever method Toshiba
provided.
3. Run it for a while like that. If it still freezes, contact Toshiba tech
support and insist they repair/replace this machine because now you know
it's hardware failing and not something you installed.
4. If OTOH all is well, add one new program at a time and test after each
installation to see what you had added that messed up your system.
