    There is a known issue with some Tosh laptops which is caused by the graphics chip overheating. This is turn causes the motherboard to warp slightly and the contacts on the graphics chip come away from the board. It will need re-flowing and there are not many who can do that. I have a contact in Milton Keynes who has done several for me - as the bit of kit needed costs nearly £20K there are not many about. There is no other way of doing it.
