Hi,

Just bought a Dell Inspiron 560:
Win 7 HP
CORE 2 QUAD 2.5Ghz
4GB DDR3
640GB
ATI HD 5450 1GB

and it’s playing up already. The OS was pre-installed and about a week into running it, it often struggles booting up Windows. It switches on, loads the BIOS, gets onto ‘Windows is Starting’ and before the colourful dots start appearing, switches off and reboots. This process happens about 2-5 times before it eventually boots properly. I am often given the startup repair option, which does not find any errors. Memory test is fine also. I am probably going to re-install Windows, but what is strange is that if I restart the computer (when logged on), these issues do not happen. It could be the PSU, but I am not sure.

2yr guarantee on it btw, so will get Dell round if no one knows.

Any ideas?

Thanks
