This issue could be due to any of the following reasons: 1. Accumulation of static power. 2. Loose Connection of RAM. 3. AC Adapter malfunction. 4. Any hardware failure in the motherboard. In order to isolate and confirm the issue, please perform the following steps: Step 1: Power Drain Due to regular use of the notebook, some static charges tend to stay in the computer, and sometimes results in not allowing the computer to function properly. Please follow the power drain procedure to confirm the same: 1. Disconnect the AC Adapter. 2. Remove the Battery. 3. Hold the Power button down for 30seconds to 1 minute. 4. Put the Battery in. 5. Reconnect the AC adapter. 6. Turn on the Notebook power. 7. Restart the Notebook. If the Notebook boots up you may fix the battery back. Try restarting the computer only with the AC power, without the battery & vice-versa. If the issue still persists then I request you to reset the memory modules, as sometimes the memory module connection get loose.
