    Hello,
    I have trouble with notebook
    If i torn on my notebook on "hot" or restart it dosn't begin loading even not show BIOS logo, just black screen. (than shut down)
    After time if torn on (~15 мин ;) can be BIOS logo resizes to half of screen. (than shut down).
    And after 20 min torning on and loading.

    Laptop TOSHIBA Satellite M45
    I check hard disk it's norm.
    BIOS is upgraded to last version.
    Inside is cleaned and thermal paste is changed
    Video stress test passes ok

    I'm assuming that you've dismantled this laptop, so I think you should take it apart again and make sure that all the connections are OK. If everything seems to be in place, then...

    Two things come to mind:

    1) The BIOS has failed or has been corrupted; given that the laptop does not post properly...

    OR

    2) The graphics card has failed; would explain the display corruption (if you see the computer accessing the HD)

    Its probably the BIOS, otherwise you would receive a set of system beeps if the graphics adapter failed.
