RE: laptop problem....
when u start up the laptop can u get into the BIOS settings? if u can, then check the event viewer. look for any errors or problems.

after a lot of googling it may be something to do with the RAM but im not sure

[Edit] Jus read previous post. guess the hardware is ruled out. Are you sure there are not any error messages?

About the RAM, i'll try removing one of the sticks and check if that fixes the problem. THX.

EDIT: I just read the post before too :P, im sure there isnt any error message.

Didn't work, i tried every single theory that i could experiment... nothing worked.... i guess i should save for another one... a good one. :'(. Does somebody know if I can just change the processor? Maybe buying another one, because the guarantee already expired. BTW, i was wrong :$, the laptop has 2 memory sticks (256+128) i removed one and tested it, nothing good, removed the other one and still the same.

RE: laptop problem....
Well, a while ago, i remember posting at these forums something similar, I installed something abit ago that untill a certain point, I had no trouble with, then my computer started to lag, and then it would suddenly restart. At a final point I thought that was it and somehow, manage to backup on cds but I had to do one at a time because my computer wouldn't respond to anything.

Then I remembered, I had installed a new IDE Chipset driver. That was it, and now after that, I leave the default ones that are installed from the recovery/os disc.

Now, have you tried installing an OS again?, because this will wipe any dodgy drivers... if it's the problem like mine.
