BSOD error on Toshiba Equium laptop
 

Laptop kept crashing with BSOD errors.
Been trying to install from Vista DVD but I get random BSOD messages
that halt the install. They are:-

IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
0x00000005, 0x0000AC88, 0x0000001B, 0x00000001, 0x895080BF

and

0xC0000005, 0x8ACF2060, 0x87DD4B5C, 0x00000000,0x00000000
win2k.sys

Re: BSOD error on Toshiba Equium laptop
 

Means you have hardware issues
Is the laptop actually compatible with Vista?
It seems you currently have win2k installed

Yep

No laptop that came with win2k could possibly run Vista in any
acceptable manner

An exact model number would be helpful.

Blue Screen during the Windows install generally point to a faulty RAM
module.

I would try this first:

http://www.memtest86.com/

Have you also tried setting the BIOS to factory defaults.
Reseating the the DVD Drive, Ram modules, and any other components.

What is the condition of the install DVD. A nick in the right place
would cause consistent failure and blue screens on the same files.

As a matter of fact, Vista has a built-in memory diagnostic
so you don't even need to get memtest

Re: BSOD error on Toshiba Equium laptop
 

The single most common cause of this is bad memory. Get a good,
freestanding memory diagnostic (Memtest86 or similar)

Second most common cause is overheating (fix: clean the heatsink(s) and
fans (some laptops require major disassembly to do this well)).

After that you are talking about really major stuff (new motherboard)
