The Official Computer Tech Support Thread

I need any help I can get from any possible computer smart people.

So here is my situation. I have had a Toshiba N(et)B(ook)205 for about a year now. Despite having gotten a few viruses and malware, I had no problems with it. When I did have the virus, I simply restored to factory setting, and it was fine. So I have been using it the last 3 weeks and it ran beautifully. I mainly use it for music and music only, of course Internet browsing as well. So all I've been doing lately is just browsing the web and downloading a couple of albums from Mediafire. So today, I woke up hoping to be able to play some music, but what the hell? A black screen with a blinking line in the top left corner! I thought, no problem I'll just restart it. It's not that easy. I restart it, and all that happens is it says Toshiba...Loading Innovations... And in the bottom it says Setup or Boot Options. The weird thing is that it doesn't show the classic Windows logo with the loading bar...weird huh? So basically all I can do is load it up, and view Toshiba setup which is useless. Boot Options isn't helpful either. Apparently, what I have is known as the Black Screen of Death.

Has anyone had any experiences with this before?
Any fixes?
Anything helps.

I'm on my iPod Touch btw.
