    When asking a questioned post the brand as well as model number and installed operating of the laptop.

    Most likely the operating system has corrupt start up files, Press F8 repeatedly at start up black screen to enter start option chose safe mode back up every thing of importance then restart choosing system repair or recovery. You did create the operating system recovery disc set didn't you ?
