No.
We're getting somewhere though, I had a cd in the drive which I've take out. Now it loads upto the bit where it says Windows didn't start properly and I can choose to launch it normally or launch start up repair. Just gonna leave it a couple hours cos its lasting longer and longer before it switches itself off each time.
