It sounds like your computer may be overheating. I would bring it to a local repair shop to have it looked at.

The laptop bios settings might be trying to boot from another source first and not the harddrive.

Restart laptop and Some start up options will most likely flash quickly

Either saying esc, f1, f2 for setup or bios settings

hit the key(s)

In the bios go to boot menu and make sure the harddrive is the first one on list if not move it up.

select f10 and save changes

laptop will restart and it should load

if not it could be your cmos battery or memory
