hi,i have a hypa laptop i bought from argos 2 years ago
all off a sudden it has started messing about
when i switch on power buton it seems to switch off after few seconds,
i stumbled across this scenario,where i press power button,then hold shift button,and the laptop then starts up.
but if i release the shift button i get a "slide to shutdown pc" message appearing.
the laptop is not touchscreen
if i do nothing after seeing this the laptop shuts down
if i press and hold the shift button after seeing this "slide to shutdown pc",the laptop stays on.
what on earth is going on?
i have tried countless suggestions to no avail.
i reinstalled windows also(holding the shift button for 2 hours was a torture)
anyway,look forward to hearing some of your ideas.("throw in the skip",not one im looking forward to,hehe)

thanks
