So eventually after 2 trips back to PCWorlds repair centre my laptop is back to me. They replaced the motherboard which went while laptop was only 5 months old. Now my laptop is gone lazy to start up. I need to attempt a startup approx 30-50 times before it starts. When i press the power up button it simply powers, screen stays black and turns off. Eventually it will boot correctly. Once it has done this i can restart it issue free as many time as i wish but leave it off for a few hrs and BANG, same problem. Any ideas WTF could be causing this problem?
