I picked up a M305D-S4830 last weekend and love it so far. My only problem is that I have noticed on about half the time it reboots (whether for updates or any other reason), it gets in to an endless loop prior to the Toshiba screen appearing in which it scans the CD drive for a bootable disk. It basically makes the CD drive grunt where it checks for a disk...just over and over. The only remedy I have been able to find so far is to hold the power button until it powers off and then power it back on.

Has anybody else experienced something like this or do you know of an actual remedy? Bios update?

Thanks

I have the exact same machine and for the first few days I had it,when I shut it down it would reboot by itself.It doesn't do that anymore,but once in a great while when I reboot it comes on but just sits there with a black screen till I power it off and then it restarts fine.
