Hi
Ive had my Amilo 1526 for nearly 2 years now without a problem but this week it decided to start acting strange.
It first started in windows where the system would freeze and require a restart then on the restart nothing would happen except it would power off and start again.
Continues in an infinite loop and there is nothing on the screen. On the occassion it has managed to start the system works fine until it crashes or u shutdown then it starts all over again. Checked the hd with smart and all values are ok. Changed the ram, hd, took the cpu out checked everything was connected properly checked all cables i could; reset bios but still nothing. Any ideas how this problem just started?
When started u hear the cdrom drive then u can see the hd indicator move then it the cdrom again then it shuts down.
Also the caplock, numlock and the other icon with a lock on it is lit (has an arrow pointing down on a line, dunno what it is)
They dont show up on normal boot up.
Any help or ideas welcome, dont wanna buy a new laptop just yet
Thanks
