    try this:

    Turn off your computer using Shut Down or pressing the power button and then UNPLUG it from the wall outlet. Also remove the battery. Let it sit for about a minute and then plug it back in.

    I would backup my files and then perform a clean install (after you try what Wall street said).

    if non of the methods work, then it could be something wrong with the motherboard

    A new motherboard will probably be $500 from toshiba.
    If you go to ebay you can probably get a used one for $170.
