    Good morning all,

    I have an issue with my laptop which I hope someone can help me with.

    A great proportion of the time when starting my laptop (windows 7) I will start bootup but then I get a black screen.

    I have found that it boots off the battery fine, but when the power adapter is connected it will sometimes boot, but mostly it will black screen.

    I have increased the minimum processor power option (via control panel-power options-advanced) but this has not improved the situation.

    Any ideas???

    Thanks

    Hi my fellow , what is the model of your laptop ? At the bottom of the laptop there is a label similar to this

    what is your Operating System ?
    Are you trying to connect an external monitor ? :wave

    Hi Falconattack,

    Thanks for responding.

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C660-2D8
    It is running Windows 7 Home Basic.

    I am not trying an external monitor. It black screens on bootup then you have to force a shut down.

    Thanks

    Is the battery in or out when you have the problem?

    What happens when you boot using the battery then after windows is loaded attach the power adapter?
