z70va - problem booting windows

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
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!

5 minutes after I posted and edited the above, I powered ON and windows loaded no problem. I got to thinking about what I did when it first did this, which was partially closing the lid, which I am assuming made it go to standy mode. I just went into - display-> screen saver-> monitor power-> power options-> advanced-> and under power buttons I selected "when close the lid - do nothing", "When I press the power button - ask me what to do", and "when I press the sleep button - ask me what to do" (I am thinking I might have screwed somthing up when I closed the lid a little and opened it back up right away)
hope this makes some sense.

I dont think this will fix the problem but we will see when I go to power ON the next time.
