    Have you tried checking your RAM modules by using different combinations? Like each singly if you have more than one.

    I am thinking this may be the HDD but will try that tomorrow, get back to you, thanks.

    When I try switching and using only one ram module, the laptop powers on but no video so I need to have the two modules in there at all times. I will try a memtest next.

    I had this sort of issue with a old HP laptop. I think the HDD might be on its way out.
