HP Recommended
Elitebook 8440w
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have a couple of old computers which I still use. Both are having the same issue. One is Probook 6560 and other is Elitebook 8440w.

 

When I press the power button, all the lights light up (Quick launch lights, wifi light, Power Light, Harddrive light blinking etc). Just after the HP logo screen, a new blank screen comes up with a blinking cursor on the top left corner and then the display turns off and the PC reboots.

 

I am having this issue with both of those computers. On both PCs, I am using SSDs for OS and recently changed the OS (reinstalled Windows). The strange thing is the timing of the issue as it started happening around the same time on both the computers (around 2-3 weeks ago).
