Any time I boot Windows 7 Professional on my laptop it does not start the first time.
I get only a blinking cursor on black screen.

I need to switch it off and re-boot it then it starts perfectly.

It does that all the times.

Any suggestion?

Thank you

This is a shot in the dark, but it sounds like you have some harware that is loose, or worse, in the laptop. By worse, I would say there is the possibility of a faulty circuit inside the graphics chip which, after warming, "resits". On subsequent reboots I would guess your computer had no more problems?
If that is so, the remedy is (almost) unobtainable. To get such a chip repaired is sometimes not worth the expense on a laptop.

But, optimistically, pay heed to Salt Grass's suggestion. Try first to look in the startup tab in Msconfig and untick a few items there.

Are these original cold boots or after sleep or hibernate?

You may have some driver or software that is not loading correctly the first time.

It does happen only on a cold boot, and just the first time.

It happens when I try to boot from an USB key or external drive too.

I guess it is really a hardware issue
