Hi,

I have a Toshiba U300. I have a problem where I switch it on and it switches itself off after 4 seconds. Then, switching it back on brings up the splash screen and the BIOS is perfectly accessible. Then where there should be OS loading graphics, the disc activity LED stops flashing and nothing happens.

I can only switch off using the press and hold power button or plugging the power cable and battery.

Then switching it on starts the whole cycle again.

Using another HDD with an OS on it makes no difference.

Any ideas?
Thanks
