Right, so heres the problem!

I have this old Toshiba laptop which for a while hasn't worked. When you boot it up, the fans, everything turn on for about 2 seconds, and then they just all go idle. The screen stays black and the laptop just stays in this 'idle mode' with its black screen well, forever.

So I thought this might be a memory problem, so I bought some new ram for it. Stuck the new stick in and removed the old, booted up first time... result! And then I restarted and it booted up again, result! And then I restarted again, and once again the same problem happened as before. And now it keeps happening.

Any ideas how to solve this problem? Would be nice to get this laptop working again!
 
Any ideas? I'm stumped now! Sometimes it boots... but most of the time it doesnt... Been using it a bit today, just tried to turn it on again and it doesnt work.

Very strange!
