[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1658628, member: 24160"] Based on your description, I have no problem believing there is some intermittent problem with the motherboard causing the same issue repeatedly and will likely continue to get worse until it will not restart no matter what is done to it - possibly that is already the case. As to whether to get a new motherboard, $700 to fix a 2 yr old machine is definitely a personal choice Replacement of a motherboard does not affect the data on the drive. There are a couple of techs here that do repairs for a living. One of them may have another idea. (As much as I hate to say it, as I do not purchase extended warranties - period, as much as you apparently carry this notebook around, I would probably get the extended warranty in your case if you decide to go the new route instead of repairing.)
