Folks. Thanks again for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I'm not getting anywhere. I've disassembled the laptop, cleaned the cpu / heatsink, and reapplied thermal paste. Checked the hdd also. No joy. Still getting the same symptoms. Machine boots only when cold, but not if it's been working within the past minute or 2. Any other ideas what this might be?

Thanks.
