Title: DELL Inspiron 1545 Won't Start Up
Post by: tomby on July 23, 2014, 08:13:20 AM

Hi

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545, following a windows update when i restart my laptop it loads up to the windows sign and then to a black screen with just my cursor.

To load the laptop up I have to turn it off and perform a repair, then restore to a previous point and then the laptop will load up fine.

However, when it then loads up the windows updates are ready again for when i shut down so every time i shut down i am back to square one and have to go through the whole cycle of restore again.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have also ran test on hard drive and found no problems
My DC Power Jack is broken on my laptop, which means i have to have my laptop always plugged in on charge.  Could this be a reason?
