I am a frustrating problem with my computer whenever it is shut down the hard way, like when we have a power failure. When I try to turn it back on, everything powers up right away, like the laser mouse and the monitor, but the cooling fan on the computer kicks in and the DVD and CD drives lights blink like it is doing something as soon as I power up, like it is in the middle of a process and the monitor turns on, but remains black... not a thing comes up on the screen. I end up having to power the computer up and immediately power it down by holding the power button, and I do this over and over again until I can turn the system on without cooling fan kicking on right away. Sometimes it works after the 2nd or 3rd try and sometimes I can repeat this process for 45 minutes until it works. Anybody know why this happens and how I can fix it? This is the ONLY problem I have with the computer.

It sounds like the system is not coming up properly. It may be that the loss of power is messing up something in the power supply, or in the power control of the mother board.
When it happens try disconnecting the power cord for 30 seconds to let everything really power down and reset. If you have the computer on a power strip you could throw that switch for 30 seconds instead.
You might check that you have the latest version if the system BIOS, that could be related.

I would say either your motherboard is toasting (failing) or your hard drive is going. Ultimatlely, there just may not be enough power being supplied to the commonents and it is time to replace the power supply.
Sorry, no easy answer on this on.

Based on what you assert. It's tough to determine what the trouble is. You didn't say whether or not you're utilizing High pace or dial or wi-fi. If you're utilizing a wi-fi web, it might be sign barrier trouble. If you're utilizing High pace, it might be adware trouble, if dial up, might be bandwidth trouble. If you had been utilizing you laptop good enough earlier than. I do not consider it is laptop trouble. Modem vigour surge trouble could also be feasible.
