Laptop won't reboot.

I have a Compaq R4000 Laptop. lately i have been getting a problem. I
can work on the laptop for hours with no problems. But if I reboot my
screen stays blank, from the bios and won't boot. I also try pressing
the power button until it shuts down and reboot but still won't boot.
The only way I can get it going is by shutting it down for approx 10
minutes then it will reboot.
What could be the problem?
If it would need time to cool off wouldn't it overheat just by using
it?
It was working great until this week, Warranty is about 2 months
expired,,,figures...
What can it be?
Tia

Re: Laptop won't reboot.

I will check, but if I boot from power off and don't even see the boot
process before getting into windows, will active x affect anything.
Wouldn't they only give me problems when windows try loading not from
boot?
