I have an Acer laptop that has started to turn itself off after roughly 15secs, although this time decreases to as little as 5secs if you keep trying to turn it on a few times in a row.
On the first attempt of trying to start it it gets by the acer screen and then shows a 'Windows was not able to start properly. A recent Hardware or Software change may have caused this' screen, the laptop then just shuts down without any errors or warning.
I was thinking that maybe it was overheating (especially because of the more u try to turn it on the less it stays on for situation) but I took the cover off the back and the fan is coming on fine and only turns off when the laptop does.
This also happens when it is plugged in at the mains so I'm assuming it's getting enough power.
Any ideas??
