You are welcome,

Hope you have fixed this problem, if not, then follow this steps;
Go to start, and then click on Run.
A dialog box will appear, type msconfig and press enter.
In the msconfig interface, go to start-up tab, there, the list of programs which starts as your computer boots to windows are displayed.
You should look for the nimbuzz program and uncheck the box.
Save and restart your system.
this should fix it.

What Windows? Probably, you are using Windows XP!

If that is the case and you want to stick to old Windows operating system I would advice you Google on ' RemoveWGA 1.2'. Download it and run it. The system will restart and ask you to click 'OK' to finish the process. After that change your desktop background to your preferred one

when you turn it on and the time it turns off is the fan always running

if it running from start to switch off it might be that your air ducts are clogged with dirt

Answer all questions !

Does it restart on charger ?
" " " " Battery ?

Any error message on restart ?

Is the air vent underneath or back
of the laptop running ?

Any of the usb ports damage


Is the fan running very fast ?

Connect charger and make sure laptop
is plug to mains and keep pressing f2 on restart
to get you to the bios setup utility. leave it there for
As long as necessary until it turns itself off

Time how it takes to turn off
if it does is oveheating problem
take it to a laptop mechanic for repairs

Can you hear the fan running fast ?
where do you often use the laptop ? e..g
on the bed, on a flat surface etc

Step by Step: Entering the BIOS
Get ready to act quickly: You need to
start the computer and press a key on the keyboard before
the BIOS hands over control to Windows.
You have only a few seconds to perform this step.

Boot (or restart) the PC: Pay close attention
to the first screen that appears. Look for a message
that indicates which key you need to press in order
to access the BIOS. That key is likely to be:
F2. when in bios make sure the mains lead is connected
to the mains and leave the laptop until it shutdown itself and
tell us how long it takes in the bios

Does it show a blue screen even if its just for a moment?
Does it do that on a.c power supply as well as on battery?

Your case is probably hardware issue, a routine maintenance might fix it i.e cleaning,using a blower, reseating chips etc. , if not that a component is faulty e.g VGA
I advice you take it to a computer technician.

no need 2 replace your hard disk. I once ran into that same problem before. The problem is that the OS has marked the wrong partition as the active 1 hence the recovery loop. If u're in lag, try and get in touch wit me, let me have a look at it.

oshobasmart: i have a problem with my laptop is refusing to boot
that's a very vague description. Does it even come and display the laptop's manufacturer's logo at all? Give more details to enable us better understand the problem.
