    Open up the bottom and reseat the RAM modules, blow some air into the seat for it to get any dust particles out, wipe the connectors on the RAM with a microfiber cloth if you have one then reseat.

    I've worked in a laptop repair center and usually when the machine is on and the screen is black, most likley the RAM modules just need to be reseated, otherwise it could be a variety of other problems that might need the attention of a technician.

    Have you still got warranty?

    You may also try installing ccleaner , to clear out some unnecessary files and processes. But like eazyduzit said try reseating your ram and blowing out dust with some canned air. Good luck
