Have you checked your installation medium?

Yes.

Does it run as a LiveDVD session OK?

No.

Try nomodeset as follows:

GRUB _ CMDLINE _ LINUX _ DEFAULT="acpi _ osi=Linux acpi _ backlight=vendor quiet splash nomodeset"

or just GRUB _ CMDLINE _ LINUX _ DEFAULT="nomodeset"

As mentioned, I have attempted a standard GRUB modification used on other Toshiba systems (https://coderwall.com/p/ydbldg), which includes the first option; I'll give the second a whirl as well.
