Bought it a month ago, and accidently set it to 32 bit instead of 64 >.<



the display driver keeps failing and the screen goes black for a few sec's.



could it be the reason why my display driver is failing is because its 32 bit :S not really sure about this stuff

Not really. The only major downside to 32 bit is that you are limited to a maximum of 3GB of RAM. It doesn't matter how much you put in, 32 bit will limit what your system can use / see.

In terms of your display driver failing, see if Toshiba has an updated driver on their site. It won't be related to your choice between 32 vs 64 bit.
