What happens somtimes is when I power ON, the blue power button lights up, I hear the fans go on, the green led with the light bulb icon comes on, but windows does not boot up. It just stays like this and I have to power OFF by holding in the power button for 5 seconds.
It happened for the first time yesterday, the same day I received it about after loading it up with xp pro and included drivers, and following about a half hour of being off. I disconnected AC and tried again about a half hour later and it booted windows fine. It has not done this when just restarting. It has happend again tonight (still won't load windows) after several attempts to power on and off.
edit: oh yeah, it first shut off like this when I was closing the lid (about 3/4 of the way) when the laptop was ON
Can anyone help?
I am going to ask Rick at istnc here in a few hours. frustrated!
