Laptop shuts down when windows starts, have 2 identical laptops, swoped the hard drives, both starts up perfectly in the one, but not in the other. Clean installation with windows xp, 7 and 8.1, but still have the same problem. It is an Tosiba Satellite L300 -Laptop, Please do Assist
 
Hi,

Does this happen inside BIOS as well? If it does maybe it's time to do a clean up inside the laptop itself as the shut down is an indication that the PC is heating up too fast and laptop has an automatic feature to turn of by itself at a certain temperature. Cleaning the CPU fan and reapplying a thermal paste on the CPU and GPU will help to solve this problem.

Hi

thanks this was my first though as well, have cleaned cpu fan & extractor fan and place new heat sink paste, problem still the same, with keyboard taken out I do see that CPU fan starts up, when laptop starts, then is stops completely, the moment windows begins to load, CPU fan start and Laptop shuts down. This is on battery system, with power pack laptop does not start at all.
