I have a Clevo W860CU that came with an i7-740QM processor in it. I've had no problems with the laptop until about a month ago. On boot up into windows 10 the monitor would show the windows logo and the circles starting to spin but would then shut itself off. I could start the laptop into the bios and leave it there all day but any attempt to go into windows would result in the same as before. I tried taking out ram sticks and that didn't work.
I next tried a usb boot of Ubuntu but could not get past the splash screen without the laptop shutting off. I then tried CD boots into windows but the laptop wouldn't even bring anything up the screen. At least then it wouldn't shut off.
I replaced the processor with an i3-350M. The computer would boot into the operating system just fine but of course everything is slower. All programs ran fine. I ordered a new refurbished i7-740QM processor and replaced the i3. The computer does the same thing as before! I even tried taking out the ram sticks again but it still didn't work. I placed the i3 back in the socket and the computer works.
Does anyone have an idea what is wrong? I am flummoxed.
