    My 2.5 years old Sony VPCS111fm starting to act weird recently.
    When I push the power on, the green light is on, keyboard light is on, I can hear the fan spinning and HD is working.
    After couple of seconds, it turn off.
    Did the process repeatedly. After an hour or so, it will boot up just fine.
    It has original Win7 64bit edition.
    Run RAM diagnostics, nothing wrong with it.
    Tried swapped the RAM and the HD, still the same.
    Verified that it has the latest bios.

    Any idea?

    Thank you!
