Toshiba Laptop shutdown shortly after booting to any CD

Hello,

I am working on a Toshiba Satellite L300D. Shortly after I boot to CD, the computer shuts down. I have tried a Clonezilla CD and a Windows Vista Home Prem DVD. I have tried using both the internal and an external DVD drive.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

OK, thanks. Do you know if there are bios logs that I can check to see if it is overheating? Could it be the power brick is not supplying enough power?
It's unlikely that the power supply is not supplying enough power - does it appear to charge the battery?

Also, have you tried powering the laptop on using the power adapter BUT with the battery removed?

Yes, the battery is dead, so I did take it out.

I will look at the overheating tonight.

Thanks!
