    Start-up problem

    Hi,

    Every time I start my computer it immediately shuts down as soon as it reaches the screen to enter username and password. It is a work laptop. I have tried using safe mode and last known good configuration. Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas?

    Many thanks.

    Chris

    p.s. I am not exactly a computer whizz!

    Does Safe Mode result in the same shut down?

    Do you have a Recovery disk?

    What is the exact make and model of the laptop?

    If it is tied to your work: have you asked your IT guy?

    Hi,

    Yes the safe mode gives the same shutdown
    I don't have a recovery disk
    The laptop is a DELL latitude D600
    The IT guys want me to send it in to them and they normally take at least a week to get it back which I need to avoid as I work from home.

    Thanks,

    Chris
