black "blank" screen upon boot up
a week ago i began having slow down issues with my computer after updating, i soon realized that the antivirus software i was using had updated but was not scanning properly(comodo). i took the slow down as a sign that my computer may had virus's running a mok in it so i began to pull what files i could safely off, since i had not done so for that months work. i was able to only use the computer at "half speed or slower" in safe mode, since booting in anything other than would cause it to stall up and just show my desktop and a frozen taskbar.
after being able to recover most of my simple picture data, i went onto larger video files and soon found that i could not get passed (approx) the 15-20% download before receiving a error code 0x8007045D. my computer issues then began to worsen.
it got to the present point that upon booting up, i would recieve the "toshiba" window, then a _ that would blink for a few then resize to a smaller _ and then blank screen
i cannot even trigger the "safe mode" boot up menu it seems. i have ran a memory diagnostic by hitting the f9 button(or any button it seemed other than f2 or f12) which would run through both parts of the test and get to 99% of 2 of 2 and then seem to stall for 15-20 min then go blank.
i have just recently been able to make a disc using a friends toshiba that also runs windows 64 bit like mine, and upon the first time putting the disc in, i got the "click any button to boot from disc...." phrase(not exact but you guys know the wording)
i hit space bar and the files loaded and i received the microsoft bar and then a screen asking to choose between the toshiba recovery or a windows 7 system repair. i accidentally clicked the wrong key and chose the toshiba recovery, which then spat out the disc and requested a different disc that i have no clue was. i tried canceling, which then brought me back to the toshiba boot screen, followed by _ screen and then blank....
i have re tried to get the selection screen for the recovery/repair, but have not been able to. every time i have boot from disc it has gone through the files screen then microsoft bar, then black screen with cursor, at which it responds to mouse movement(touchpad) but nothing else.
help?
