    You could try clicking start,run and type msconfig. There click general and select normal setup. Re boot and see what happens. If it doesn't work my next step would be to do a system restore.

    Do you have thw windows installation disk? If you boot from that it will give you an option to repair startup. It's worth a try(got me out of many a hole..)

    Are you still having issues?

    Firstly what operating system are you using on the laptop?

    yes im still having problems, im using vista home basic, i can remember it saying ram full then something about dump files, then it would just power down, then when i done a reboot it keeps starting in safe mode no matter if i choose the start normally option,im not really that bright when it comes to this stuff so id really apreciate any kind of help.

    Almanu try opening up the bottom panel of the laptop and reseating the ram modules - take them out, carefully (mind static) and then place them back correctly and firmly into place.

    Did you do anything that might have wrecked it? Dropped it, spilled liquid on it? Are you still in Warranty?
