Have you tried pressing the F8 key repeatedly right after switching the laptop on and then selecting 'startup using last known good configuration settings' (or something like that)?
If not try that.
tried that, no joy |

If you suspect the hard drive you could try using the error check facility:
In my computer right click on your hard drive and select properties
Select 'error checking' from the tools tab
Tick both boxes and click start
It could take ages, so do it when you don't need the computer.

the box that says turn off system restore on all drive is not ticked, also my laptop keeps making a weird loud buzzing noise when its moved into certain areas of my house!
I'll bite, which areas of your house is the buzzing noise happening in? |

It's clearly a driver problem.
Click on Start -> Run, type in compmgmt.msc and hit enter. When Computer management loads have a look at device manager.
I reckon you are going to have yellow !'s against your wireless, video and sound drivers. If so get replacement drivers from the manufacturers website and install. It's relatively easy - good luck.

If you don't know how to update/install a driver then you probably shouldn't be trying to fix it yourself.

Google the model name and number, or go to the manufacturers website, ie Dell, HP etc and search for the drivers on there. Or give me £50 and I'll do it for you. x |

Get somebody else to fix it.
Have a look in the yellow pages, look for "Laptop repair", call a number and BOOM. It's sorted.

It's all them dodgy bluray downloads  Sounds a bit more than drivers though, if you can't click certain things, system restore is fucked and you can't change to XP style menus. |
