M misskath Oct 24, 2010 #1 My laptop will not boot up. When I turn it on, the HP intel etc screen will come up, but then nothing. And it stays like that. If I press escape for start up menu it doesn't do anything. PLEASE help me.

What has changed since? Have you experienced any power failures, for example? Added hardware? Are you getting any Beep Codes? Can you enter BIOS / System Configuration? If not, then we have one set of issues. If you can, then other options remain open. Have you started with the post (sticky, to stay at the top) by Julio. It offers several first steps. Which of these have been explored, and with what results? Have you run Memtest? (tell us your results in detail) Have you run any Hard Drive Diagnostics? (tell us your results in detail)
