Toshiba A215-S5818 Black Screen Issue

Forum Laptops & Notebooks : General Discussion Toshiba A215-S5818 Black Screen Issue

Hello all,

quick question for all you IT pros out there.

I've had my Toshiba Satellite A215 for 3 years now, and I've been having some problems starting back from the past few months. My screen pretty much goes black whenever I'm on youtube, or just searching the web, or typing a document in OpenOffice. The crashes are spontaneous at best, but I've noticed that it's mostly whenever I'm running something graphical.

As multiple attempts to fix the problem, I've tried re-installing the operating system at LEAST 15 times on Two different hard drives, switching operating systems between Vista, Win7, and Ubuntu 10.10. I've also swapped out placement of the RAM sticks and re-seated the hard drive, to see if it would fix anything.

When running windows 7, which I am currently, I get this error message when I boot back up..

I've had the laptop since 2008. Is this the end?
