Sounds like Either Cpu down or harddrive down. Pc boot up is when both these are working.

Had a similar problem myself, mine was the ram had come loose, took the bottom off the laptop and reseated the ram and it sorted it, could be a totally different prob though.

Also, if the Laptop has 2 sticks of ram, remove one & try them one at a time. Twice now I've had a laptop have 1 stick go bad, & those were the symptoms.

Good luck.

Try reseating the heatsink on the processor.

Had a problem with a laptop when I tried to instal windows 7. It would get so far then just shut off. It's not quite the same problem but an easy fix.

Common fault on these i'm afraid. It's the gpu on the board that's overheated. I've still got one upstairs

Possibly an xbox type issue where the gpu processor comes away from the board, as it gets to hot, the board warps and comes away. you'd probably have to remove the board and try the oven trick, that aside maybe treat yourself to a new I5 lappy

Lap not on

Hi mate, you hear a harddrive?. Had you check for a backlite not turning on, it makes a dark screen and likes a not funtional Lapt.
