About few days, when i turn on my laptop, first the laptop will come out the logo or picture of the company name.. toshiba, hp.. etc then when the logo disappear and it just stop at a black screen with a white colour '_' keeping flashing at the top left hand corner.. then it just stuck at that condition.. it was suppose to come to a screen that shows window XP picture with some blue colour line on the bottom which keep moving.. I had to try about 5 to 7 times on and off again or pat at it then it will turn back normal.. so what causes my laptop to react this way..?

Could be many things, had hard drive, hardware fault on motherboard. As it is only 6 months old CALL the MANUFACTURER and claim a warranty repair !!!

You may have a bad video card. So when you start it up, the pixels aren't rendering properly until you restart it a few times. Try plugging the laptop into a stand alone monitor and see if it happens. If it happens on there then your video card is probably bad and needs to be replaced. However if it does not happen on the external monitor, chances are you have a bad LCD and that would need to be replaced.
