I too have the same issue. after contacting Toshiba i was asked to
send the until in for them to do some testing only to recieve it back 2
weeks later with a note saying that they could find no fault but
advised rebuilding the laptop with the recovery disk. took the time to
do this but it has made no differance.

If anyone knows a fix please let me know!!!!
