I may be wrong,but it sounds exactly the problem we had with our old Toshiba a while ago,and it signalled the end of the tube,with the same symptoms as you've quoted.

Markcctv,

Probably the green output driver on the c.r.t. base board has failed. This could drive the green too hard so that the set shuts down in protection mode.
Get an engineer to check it out; it may not be expensive.
