Help?

Goldenlover I would imagine the outlets are standard because it's in my dorm, but I'm not sure. There aren't really any other outlets to try. It's connected to a surge protector, which is about the only available outlet in here. The only problem about that is getting to best buy, lol. I'm nowhere near one and I don't have a car or the money to take a bus. Or the money to pay for the services either, really.

Make friends with an upperclassman?? ;-)
I'll bet it's because you're leaving it on your bed and the blankets aren't allowing proper circulation for the laptop cooling fans, causing it to overheat. Keep it on the cooling pad on a hard surface. If you don't have a desk, you could get one of those laptop stands or bean bag desk things to sit it on also, just as long as there is plenty of room unblocked on all sides to allow air circulation.

Alright guys, so the moment I posted something about doing system restore and trying to keep using my laptop, I go to turn it back on anddd... I get a black screen with the computer doing nothing . Toshiba tech support said the computer's probably freaking out because of the power thing, but we'll see.

I'm at the library right now; it's not so bad. They have PCs and Macs Macs make me happy, I'm actually kind of considering buying one next semester with my extra tuition money.

I'm really, really hoping Toshiba doesn't have to erase any of my files to fix my computer. If they do I'm going to strangle someone, lol. I'm about sold on a Mac though. Especially since they're supposed to be more reliable than a PC and all of the other things that I've read about them make me really want one.

I'll be shipping out poor Petite Rouge (it's my laptop's name and means "Little Red" in french) over Thanksgiving break, so I'm pretty sure I'll be using library computers the rest of the semester. Sigh.
