Laptop Boots then shuts off

Normal 0 My laptop (Toshiba A75-S209) froze and I had to manuallyshut it off to restart it. When it restarted it came up with the blackscreen/white letters that reads:

''We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not startsuccessfully...etc...''

And it gave me options as to continue in ''Safe Mode'' and to continuenormally...I've tried each of the options and each one results in attempting toload Windows XP then a blue screen that flashes really quickly with white wordsbut my computer shuts off automatically, not giving me time to read any of it.It restarts on its own and does the same thing. I've tried not selectinganything and letting it ''start windows'' in its own ''in 30seconds''. And still it goes to the blue screen.

And then it says that it could be because ofhardware/software that's been unproperly downloaded or something and to makesure that it's downloaded correctly. But I can't get on the computer to dothat! (Keeps shutting off after that.).

I tried to reformat the HD but it shuts itself off over andover again. I am at a loss of what to do.

    I am not able to do this because the laptop shuts off. I boot the laptop to the CDrom and the recovery starts but the laptop turns itself off.

It's definately no RAM, it can look like it's in properly when it's not, don't be afraid of giving it a good push! Also check the fan is still working as it will switch off if it's over heating

Toshiba Satellite A75-S209 (PSA70U-09700E) PC Notebook will not start.power lights come on for both the battery and DC. There is no fan or hard drive sound.power button does not light up. pushing the...

Hi,

Take out the battery and try booting the machine on AC power only. If the machine boots up then let the operating system load up, the shut it down. Remove the AC jack and put the battery back in again, then power it up.

If it boots all is well if it doesn't then there could be a problem with the battery.

If the laptop won't start on AC power, what you could do is remove the system memory, clean the brass pins and the slots and then re-seat them/it.

Then try to turn the machine on.

Good luck.

Toshiba boots up power light stays on and shuts down, bad m/b ?

I own a Laptop Toshiba Satellite A75-S2131.
This series have a problem with the cooling flow to the processor.
The processor overheats and the laptop shuts down.To solve this particular problem you must tear down the laptop and clean up the processor heatsink (you will find it totally plugged or partially dirty).
Find in the internet the step by step instructions (with photos) for dismantling this laptop. Do not forget to apply thermal paste between processor & heatsink.

I hope this solution helps.
