laptop wont turn on

[daithi]

the latop works fine but every fifth or sixth time i turn it on it wont come on
it powers up but just has a black screen i then have to manually turn it off and back on then it goes into system restore but says it cant be fixed
i then turn it on an off a few times and it starts properly and works for awhile longer before crashing again in a few days

any ideas what it might be ive done a few scans and cant find anything it doing this for about two months now

I agree with you on that one. 1 month after the warranty runs out usually.

I had sort of similar problem with my old one..

I opened the laptop and found that the CPU fan was clogged with dust (sort of cotton woolish material) clean it out and applied thermal paste on the cpu.. Put it back again and all good..

I used it for another 6 months without any problems.. and then sold it on flebay

I've just used abuntu 10.10 on my step daughters lappy that that wouldn't boot to get the pics of the hdd before a clean install
