My laptop was working fine until I tried to boot it up last night. It first comes up and wants me to run a disc check on the hard drives. So I do. Then it starts to boot up windows(takes a little longer than normal) and then once it plays the windows starting sound it shuts down about 5 seconds later and goes throught the same process over and over. I tried to boot in safe mode and it just restarts when I do that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
I'm not sure but it sounds like a power problem. Try turning it on while plugged into the wall. If not it seems like something is physically broken or damaged.
You could easily have had a hard drive failure or even just a very malicious virus.
Is there anything else it does? What exactly does it say when it wants to run a disk check?
Yes, give the BIOS a look on startup and see if it reports your temps. And see if it could do with a good blast-out with some canned air.
I wouldn't trust BIOS for my temps though. They report way too low for me. Like 24*C on startup when I know it pushes 37 on startup and absolute idle is at 33-35.
I use a program called Speedfan and it works well. It's also by far the easiest to use and can be minimized to your background tasks as a constant temp monitor.
