Hello, I have a Lenovo t510 laptop,
When I turn it on, it's normal, but when it gets to the "starting windows" it shuts down, and after a couple of seconds, it turns on and do the same thing
It is windows 7.
Can anyone please help me
 
I don't think it's the problem, I have tried with another battery, because I have a similar laptop, but the same problem with the other battery
 
Finally I made f8 work. I switched the hard drive from the laptop who didn't work, and put it in my other laptop, and so I went into control panel, and activated safe mode starter, and out the hard drive back in the laptop who didn't work, and the laptop turned and I made it in to safe mode... Now what??
I tried to look at system restore, but apparently I don't have any restore files.
But now I can go to the normal windows, without safe mode, but sometimes it also turn off and goes crazy...
But if you have suggestion to do something in the normal windows, u can say
