First, Is the laptop fan, heatsink, vents clean free of dust. If it's overheating it will shut down to save components for overheating. The Graphic Adapter is a big heat producer. As to the processor running at 100%, It's also a big heat producer, shut down some of the running processes that are not needed. At startup their many programs that are not needed. Use this freeware program, it has many useful tools. Download CCLEANER at : http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ This freeware program will remove the junk from your machine, in the TOOLS section, STARTUP section, disable ALL unnessary startup programs.

SOURCE: My toshiba A200 screen occasionally turns black

This sounds like a hard drive is, or has failed. Either that or the RAM (memory has gone bad)
Did you let the laptop overheat? Was it left on for a long time? Or is this just an old machine ?
I would replace the hard drive, and reload the operating system, that is if you really want to keep the laptop. If that solves it great! Also, did you notice if there are any "beep" noises, or error messages when it acts up? Often times, you can go on the internet and find out what the messages mean.

SOURCE: Toshiba satellite m50-mx2 won't start up

Okay firstly we need to establish whether this is a hardware or software problem. I would suggest to boot up from a recovery CD so that the OS is not in use for that time. If it boots well with the CD, then you should look for malwares and possibly repair the OS. However, if with the CD boot the problem still persists (no activity as you say) then you know it's not a malware or OS problem and therefore rules out software issues. So then we need to look at hardware. I suspect it could be a power surge - depending on whether you installed new hardware recently that could cause conflicts. I would disconnect the power cord and let it use up the battery power until it switches off on its own. The power supply should then refresh itself (no more power left in the machine). After that, plug it back into the wall to let the battery charge up again and see if there is any improvement. If it still won't work, then unfortunately it will need to be looked at for any other hardware failures. In that case you should contact Toshiba to help out. If any of my suggestions help you, please do rate me. Thanks and good luck. I hope it all goes well for you.

SOURCE: toshiba a135 laptop screen goes blank during

It's probably not a BIOS problem.

You should go to Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Power Options --> Change plan settings --> change advanced plan settings.

Try configuring the setting for "Plugged in" and "On Battery" to be the same. That way your laptop won't go through wierd configurations when you unplug.

Try cleaning your computer with compressed air too.

Toshiba satellite a300 laptop display problem screen black, no display at all.

You laptop either needs a new Cable from the Motherboard to the Screen, a new power inverter, or a new screen. Most commonly, I have seen the video cable get smashed between the hinges/plastic case, and this causes the wires to break apart, leading to a black screen.

Here is the power inverter for your laptop: http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Satellite,A300,PSAG0U-0CF035,Laptop,Inverters.aspx

Here is the video cable for your laptop: http://www.notebooksolutions.ca/zc/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3392&zenid=7903c7a1a62c4c2cbfef6ea30865373c

Here is the LCD screen for your laptop: http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Satellite,A300,PSAG0U-0CF035,Laptop,LCDs-Displays.aspx

If the display comes back, slightly, when you lift the display lid up and down, this would be a sign that your cable is bad. If you get no reaction from opening and closing the lid, you may have a bad inverter or screen. It is most commonly the inverter or the cable.

If you have a spare monitor, you could plug it into the VGA connector on your Laptop as a temporary solution. If after plugging the monitor in, you get no display, try pressing Fn + F5.
