Solved: Laptop will boot ocasionally
My grandson's Dell Laptop won't boot up, mostly it goes through the motions until it gets to the Welcome, then it just sits there.
It is an AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL60 2GHz with 1 MB of Ram. It's running Vista SP2

Hi have you tried running a repair http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88...all-vista.html also a upgrade to the amount of ram would probably be of some help

joeten,

My Grandson took the laptop home before I could finish. I think he's taking it to a shop.

Should I mark it solved or unsubscribe from this thread?
