The pattern you describe — a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7902 that reliably freezes about five minutes into the first boot but runs fine after a second start — points toward initialization problems (driver/service), a failing storage device, or intermittent hardware initialization rather than a persistent OS crash. Several replies have suggested quick hardware checks; before swapping parts, gather diagnostic evidence so fixes are targeted.

First, collect reproducible details: exact Windows version, whether the freeze happens before or after login, and whether it occurs in Safe Mode. If Safe Mode is stable, suspect drivers or startup services. Check the system logs with Event Viewer or Reliability Monitor to capture error codes and timestamps (see Event Viewer overview) []. Run non-destructive software checks: sfc /scannow and chkdsk C: /f /r (after backing up important data). Test memory with a dedicated tool (MemTest86) [https://www.memtest86.com/], and check disk SMART status or run a surface scan if the logs point to I/O errors. A general troubleshooting checklist for freezes is summarized here [].

If tests report memory or disk errors, replace the failing component. If logs point to driver failures, update chipset and graphics drivers from Toshiba/Dynabook support and consider a BIOS update only if a vendor update specifically addresses a freeze/initialization bug. Back up user data before aggressive repairs and post back the Event Viewer entries, Safe Mode behavior, and memtest/chkd
