Laptop restarts right before the logo is suppose to appear
My laptop will not start up completely. I can push the power on button, and right before the logo is supposed to appear it will restart itself, and will continue on this loop. I have held down the power button in the middle to shut it off completely and let it sit for awhile and tried again, with the same results. I have also left the computer run this loop all night with no success. I have noticed the fan will come on really high at the start of the process and then slow down before it restarts itself. The fan is working and the computer is not hot. The computer is always hooked up to the A/C adapter and very rarely do i rely on the battery. any suggestions?
This problem could be related to the memory. It’s possible that one of the memory modules is bad.
If you have two memory modules installed in your laptop, remove them one by one and test the laptop with each module separately. It should start properly when the bad module is removed. If the laptop still restart itself with each module installed separately, most likely this is not memory related problem. It’s very unlikely that both memory modules failed at the same time.
Try starting the laptop without the hard drive. A failed hard drive also can cause this failure. Can you boot to the logo screen when the hard drive is removed? If not, most likely the problem is not related to the hard drive.
If nothing helps, most likely there is a problem with the motherboard and it has to be replaced.

OK I tried taking out the memory module, didnt work. I also tried without the Hard drive, and still didnt work. If it is the mother board what is the chance I can replace it? or would have to buy a whole new computer? Is it an easy fix if i can get the part?

My Toshiba M400 keeps rebooting sometimes it locks up. I have tried new install. Makes it part way then reboots. Or it might just freeze. I can let it sit at the bois screen all day.

Hi ,
Everything works completely fine with my laptop. but I have very good question if you can give me solution. I have hp dv7 laptop with 6gb ram and 1 tb hard drive. my hard drive is combination of two 500 gb hard drive. I have insyde as vendor for bios. my question is that is there any way i can boot separately on each drive like we do on typical old desktop for completely different booting for different os. for ex. like we can change master and slave hard disk to boot. still it will show in my computer if you boot from any one. I really appreciate if you can give me some solution.
Thanks,
