Laptop Startup problems

    I have a Packard Bell Easynote laptop. It was running well until yesterday when I left it on all day. On returning to it the screen was black (no screensaver showing) and the power light on. Wouldnt respond to anything I did so turned it off. When I turned it on again the sreen was extremely pink and then halfway through booting up it closed down altogether. Has been the same ever since. If I leave it for a while turned of it gets further with booting up before it closes down. The cooling fan is running and appears plenty of air. I suspect I may have had an overheat or a power surge. Any ideas before I give up and get a new computer

    Thanks
