My mainboard failed on my laptop so had to replace it but with a compatible one without the seperate gfx card. It works ok but only after switching itself off 5 times from start. You press on and it will light up, turn off 1 sec later and turn back on. It will do this 5 times before finally booting from the HDD. It does this without a drive in there so it's not a Windows problem. Could the mainboard be having problems configuring the processor and have to reboot each time?
