There can be lot of issues u might need to check....First If the product is still under guarantee period, try contacting them, If not,try updating the bios...actually this problem is quite common among VISTA users. Just update the bios, If this doesn't solves the problem, Reset BIOS:

1. Turn on or restart the computer.
2. Press the F10 key to enter system
utility where a message is displayed on the screen.
3. Under Exit menu, select the option "Load Setup Defaults."
4. Click Enter.

Just try these two steps, If the problem is not solved, there could be hardware malfunctioning of the device for which if you are not a professional, I would recommend that you must go to a professional

actually it was out of guarantee and a local shop was asking for INR 1600 as it was a hardware problem according to them.
