Laptop won't start.
 |
When I turn this Laptop on it lights up and you can hear various noises inside coming from the area where the hard drive is situated along with the fan trying but does not actually start, and the CD rom spinning aswell. After these noises the unit switches off and trie's again this is a continuous cycle and keeps going till you hold the power button down to turn the machine off. Any Idea's out there please.

Can you get to any boot screens? If you put in your vista disk, can you boot from the cd?
