My toshiba laptop randomly turns off and hangs on shut down

I have a Toshiba Satellite P35-S6112 P4 HT 3.4Ghz laptop with a pentium 4 processor that is 3.4Ghz and 512 mb of ram. Every so often the screen will go blank and a few seconds later will totally turn off for seemingly no reason. I have disabled the restart on error option but there is still no BSOD, also im not sure if this is possible but when i turn off hyperthreading it seems to be ok but ive yet to check that for a long period of time. Could the hyperthreading make my processor too hot so that it makes my laptop shut off. Also every so often when i try to shut down my laptop there will be no shutting down message and will just be a blue screen that leaves me with the only option of holding down the power button. Could anyone tell me what I can do to solve these problems as I especially like running with hyperthreading on as it seems to make my laptop run faster. Thanks ever so much.
