Hi try testing the ram
Laptop restarts a few times before "turning on"
Okay, I'm having the strangest thing happen with my laptop and I'm not sure why...
When I turn it on, the Compaq screen hangs for about 30 seconds, then the laptop turns off and back on. This process repeats about 4 times until it actually boots from anything. Once started, it works just fine.
Any ideas to what is causing this?
I have a Compaq Presario F756NR with no HDD or optical drive. (It is booting off of a USB, but that is not the reason why it restarts when I turn it on.)
