Yesterday, my laptop was working fine.

This morning, I find my laptop with a blue screen with error messages. This was not the usual blue screen of death that everyone is so familiar with.

Now when I try to boot, the power LED light does come on, but the computer does not boot.

Any suggestions?

What Toshiba laptop do you have? Is it a Portege, SatPro etc? Try re-seating the memory panels in the laptop first, completely remove and re-insert.

Toshiba Satellite A105-S2021

Removed and reinserted and nothing. Could it be that the memory is bad, since the screen says black?

My friends think its a hard drive, but if it was the hard drive it would still at least attempt to boot.

you need to post any error messages you receive in full
tap f8 when booting and from the options try
last known good configuration

You can try and remove the HDD to see if the laptop powers on when removed. How many memory panels do you have in the laptop? Try each of them individually in each of the slots.

Make sure you remove the battery and just try and power the laptop on from the mains power.

are you receiving the post beep

 

[bob39837]

I get no beep. I would never get a beep. I think my dad turned it off.

 

[bob39837]

I have only one memory panel and I've tried turning out with the battery out.

So you tried in another memory slot with the battery removed?

 

[bob39837]
