My Toshiba Home Premium Windows 7 Laptop goes black screen. Most happen on Facebook and youtube

My laptop goes black when I get on Facebook just surfing there, or listen to music on youtube, or when I log on my laptop then few minutes later it'll just pop black screen. I have tried to do Alt+CTRL+DEL and do Task manager. But it won't let me do ANYTHING. The only works is when I turn my power off...then back on..then later..it do the same problem again. I've only got this laptop less a year ago, around 4 months ago. Please help!! It's really annoying.
Thanks for your time reading.
Joe

yes i saw that you just got it 4 months ago. it can get dusty enought in 4 months to cause shut downs. when it was sent out to the depot what did they do? did they change any parts? you should have gotten a report of everything they did when they returned your laptop. let us know what they did so we have a starting point.

  • Windows Boots to Black Screen w/Blinking white cursor, and then...

    I installed a new OCZ sata II SSD in my iMac 27' mid-2010.  I bought the cables and pressure wall from an AASP, so it's all Apple in there except for the OCZ drive. The 2TB internal drive (factory) is in there, too.
    Installed SL to the SSD and updated to 10.6.8 and man, does this machine fly now!
    So I used Boot Camp to create a windows partition, 40GB on the SSD, then went through the WIndows 7 install process.  My WIndows disc is a retail copy - totally legit.
    So the installer finishes, and I used the disc that came with the iMac to install the Boot Camp drivers (vs 3.1)
    Then Windows restarts and - fail
    Black screen with blinking white cursor.  Tried the command fixes to the MBR - no joy.
    Here is the weird thing: if I put the Windows installer in the optical drive, then boot to the Startup Disk Manager (holding down option at power up) I can select the installer dvd, and when the prompt comes up "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD" if I just leave it for a moment, the operating system boots from the SSD.
    Weird.  But, thats what I've been doing as a workaround.  That and using Fusion to reach over to the Boot Camp partition and run it as a virtual machine (which works just fine).
    Anybody know how to fix this?
    Thanks!
    Jason

    I FOUND My answer.
    I opened the iMac back up and swapped the SATA data cables so that the cable designated for the factory installed internal HD led to my self-installed SSD - now it works as it should.
    No errors on the internal HD either.
    I beleive that EFI looks for the Windows MBR to be on the 1st drive bay.  If I had modified my system by patching the MBR or EFI somehow I guess I could have got it to work, but as it is the cables reached and all is well.
    As an aside, I came to this deduction when I removed the internal HD from the iMac and tried to boot from the SSD WIN7 partition and still could not.  Then I took the same SSD out and popped it into my MBPro and it worked.  My guess was that somehow the presence of another internal HD of any kind was confusing the boot loader, but I now believe it is the drive bay designation.
    Hope this helps someone else who has added a SSD to their single drive iMac mid-2010

  • I can not join the my home WIFI network. I have iPhone and iTouch connected as well as my windows laptop. I have trie power on rese, and network reset

    I can not join the my home WIFI network. I have iPhone and iTouch connected as well as my windows laptop. I have trie power on rese, and network reset. What do I do next?

    This is something else you can try.
    Go to Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name (tap the blue arrow)>Forget this Network. Reboot your iPad, hold down on the sleep button at the top for a couple of seconds until the red slider appears, slide to shut down. Then press the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button and the iPad will restart. Try to join your network again.

  • My laptop goes black

    More often and often my laptop goes black, it doesn´t turn of. Then I must turn it of and start it again. Sometimes a few times before it comes back. What is it ? I want to konfigurate it again . But it didn´t follow any recovery disc or a Vista cd. So how can I do it ?

  • Unable to install Windows 7! Black screen?

    Unable to install Windows 7! Black screen?
    Hey everyone!
    Some background info:
    I built my computer ~2 years ago and it worked fine for about half a year, until it crashed. Since then I've been unable to reinstall Windows and I kinda forgot about it... which sucks! So please help me get it up and running again :)
    Motherboard: GigaByte Z68
    Processor: Intel Core i3
    HDD: Seagate Barucada 1TB (st31000524as)
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
    My problem: 
    When I boot from the windows cd (original), sometimes I get stuck at a black screen after "Windows is starting" or the black "loading files" screen. Sometimes it just takes a while but I eventually get to the install menu.
    When I am about to chose my hdd, it says it can't install on it. I deleted all partitions, created a new one and formated it (took about 1 hour), still not able to install.
    I tried booting from my GigaByte cd, and it went through some kind of install (not sure what it did, it was weird because it's actually made for backups). After I chose "reboot" I was able to install on my hdd again. But after I got to 100% i got
    stuck at the black screen again! I waited for a couple hours before I had to turn it off, so I'm back where I started. :/
    I always google stuff, and people said the black screen problems could be related to other drives/usb stuff connected to my pc. I only have 1 hdd and 1 usb for mouse/keyboard... I tried disconnecting it but it didnt work and also it doesnt make sense since
    I need to reconnect it to click on stuff anyway...
    People also said I should try booting with F8 and choose "low res", didn't work either. Other people said "connect a secondary screen", I have a hdmi screen and a rgb screen, I tried all combinations of them and nothing seemed to work...
    I also have some confusion with the XHD/RAID/IDE/AHCI settings. I am only using one HDD, so I figured AHCI makes more sense for me - sine i have a SATA hdd and windows 7 64 bit. 
    However, when I load "Optimized System Defaults" from BIOS, it sets SATA mode to IDE...? When I reboot I get a warning screen that says the system is running in IDE mode and I should switch to AHCI for optimal performance.
    How do I know if my system supports AHCI or not, what should I use?
    Whenever I select IDE, and I enter Windows installation, it can't even find my hdd!
    Only when I select AHCI it finds the hdd, but it won't let me install on it.
    I've been strugling for DAYS, so i REALLY appreciate help. :) Also, I've tried making "boot cds/usb", and I have no experience with linux so it's really frustrating. Please don't suggest going linux unless it's really necessary. :( I only have a Knoppix
    live CD, but I find the whole linux system so confusing I wasn't really able to do anything, despite several "guides" and youtube videos. I have a computer that's barely been used and a original windows CD, shouldn't I have all I need to repair my
    system?
    Sorry about the long post, I'll be eternally grateful if someone has any clues!

    I am not sure which specific issue that is, but it definitely sounds like a hardware issue rather than a software or settings issue.  Windows should not have any issues installing; if it does, that would usually point to a hardware issue of some sort. 
    It could even be your motherboard.  Your best bet is to disconnect EVERYTHING that is not needed from the motherboard, including RAM sticks except for the least amount possible, and try installing Windows with that configuration.
    Example: you need the power supply, so connect that.  If you're installing from a CD/DVD, then you need a CD/DVD drive.  You need at least 2 GB of RAM.  You need to be able to turn on the computer, so the on/off switch needs to be connected
    to the motherboard.  You will need a mouse and keyboard.  And so on.  If this bare-minimum configuration does not work, start replacing items: use a different RAM stick, use a different mouse, use a different keyboard, etc.  If, after you
    do all this, it still does not work, then I would suspect that your motherboard has an issue.  You can also try resetting the CMOS on your motherboard.  Some motherboards have a jumper for that, and for others, simply removing the CMOS battery will
    do it.
    As far as IDE, AHCI, and RAID settings are concerned, this should not matter so long as whichever setting it is on when Windows is installed is the same after it is installed.  For example, if it is installed using IDE, then you need to stick with IDE. 
    If you installed it with AHCI, then you need to stick with AHCI.  Changing it after installation can make Windows not boot.  There are, of course, ways around that, but it is easiest to simply be consistent.

  • Windows Server 2008 black screen with mouse *PLEASE HELP*

    Hello fellow techs,
    I have been tearing my hair out for the past 12hrs on this issue.
    About 3 weeks ago, one of our clients reported that they were experiencing
    issues on the network so one of the staff went into the server room and noticed
    the screen was black with only the cursor. As they couldn't reboot, they
    decided to hold the power button to power it off. When they powered it back
    up, it went passed the windows loading
    splash screen, and again the screen is black with
    the mouse pointer in the center of the screen.
    I am diagnosing the server and find that at the black screen, I’m able to move
    the cursor and beyond that nothing happened. I started in safe mode with the
    exact same results.
    I have been trying many different solutions from posts that I have found in
    Google but no change.
    From other machines you can type \\servername in
    the run box and see the shared folders, as well as ping it.
    This is a very urgent request as I need to have the Server back up and running
    by tomorrow.
    I am quiet willing to pay for phone support with anyone that can assist as soon
    as possible. I am happy to transfer founds via Paypal.<o:p></o:p>
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi,
    I agree with sm, you should give us more details. Also you should use sfc  /scannow
    command to scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible. For more details, please refer to the following article.
    Sfc
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff950779.aspx
    Before going further, would you please let me know whether there were any changes on the affected server? Has windows update or any new device been added? Please also check your shadow copies.
    The Windows Server black screen may be caused by them.
    In addition, there are similar questions, please refer to.

  • Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore.  Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines.  None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

    Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore.  Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines.  None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.

  • Windows 8.1 - Black Screen while online

    I use FireFox all the time. Would love to know how to fix the problem of black screens. I use Windows 8.1 and the black screens only happen when I am on the internet. Been told these are called 'hangs' but they never go back to the original screen.

    BBDunn, welcome to the forum.
    When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
    I suggest trying IE to see if you have the same outcome.  I have found that Win 8.1 is somewhat touchy with its interactions.  In fact, I reverted to Win 8.

  • Ipod won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Here's some more info.
    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?
