    I've had these for awhile but thought i should get them sorted out :p

    First one is that my laptop hates turning on. Mostly from a restart, seems ok when i turn it on in the morning but when booting up from restarting my display shows nothing and my laptop isnt doing anything. Its like it doesnt check the HDD at all. I hear my DVD drive fora couple seconds and my touch control lights and my bluetooth light is on too but nothing else. It just took me 10+ tries to get it on just now :/. The bios are updated too, cant remember if it was happening before I updated.

    Oh also sometimes during a restart it looks like its doing a normal restart for a second, but then turn itself off completly, then a few more seconds it tries turning on by itself but then the problem happens above and doesnt do anything. Or the restart just fails without doing that or its totally fine. Annoying D:


    2nd problem is my internet through my ethernet cable. Its fine after starting but then randomly It will stop and my taskbar will say the usual limited connectivity thing. I've only noticed it happen when using my Utorrent though. Its impossible to get it back working till i restart the computer which again can cause problem no1 ¬_¬. I try unplugging cable, restarting router which looks normal and doesnt go offline during this happening and finally tried diabling the ethernet drivers but the window just crashes. Not tried reinstalling drivers yet though... My wireless can work in its place before restarting but i'd rather have ethernet all the time.

    If anyone can help with either issues i'd me happy :D

    EDIT - 3rd bonus problem! Ntune install locks my computer up at the end of setup. Always done it, all other programs i've installed worked perfect though.
