Have the computer scanned for virus or malware infections first. There are plenty of free antivirus boot disks that can be created that you boot the laptop with. Do a couple of deep scans, and remove any infections it finds. I recommend using the one put out by AVG.

If the computer fails to boot after a virus scan, you may have a hard drive that is failing. Replace the drive and reinstall your operating system on the new drive. Good luck.
