Screen seizure? My Toshiba laptop has a problem where it likes to randomly restart itself. It will 'break up' whatever is on the screen into roughly centimeter tall horizontal strips, and then "jump" around for about 30 seconds and then restart itself. Also if I set my computer to sleep or hibernate, and then open it back up, it will have one of these 'seizure-like' episodes within 5 minutes of opening it back up. This happens even if I have not opened any programs. This is becoming a REAL annoyance. I have checked the temperature, overheating does not seem to be the base of this problem. I can make it seize up if I open Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, and REVIT at the same time, while clicking mozilla about 20 times. (I don't do this often I was just trying to see if overloading the ram was the cause of this, though sometimes it does it when nothing new was opened...) Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, from the beginning. Can you do a cold boot and get into the bios? (is there an image on the screen then)
Secondly, can you connect to an external monitor and see an image?
Did it do this only when it was heading in to hibernation? If so, it sounds like the power management needs some adjustment.
If there's no image on the external monitor, you may have a video/motherboard problem, or it still could be the operating system/power management.
It all depends on if you have video in bios.
Let me know.
Good luck

Flickering screen it means that the resolution of your graphic are to high for the resolution of your tv, lower the graphic resolution on your computer and you will see it will work.
