Laptop crashed

So yesterday morning I go to wake my computer up and it freezes, hold power and it shuts down. Go to start back up and get blue screen of death, hold down power and it shuts down. Go to start back up in safe mode and it never boots. Instead it holds with all keyboard lights on, with the scroll lock and caps lock flashing.

I have Windows One Care Live, so virus-spyware is up to date, any ideas out there?

Well, duh. What laptop? What OS? Were you on battery? What was the last thing you did? Did you leave it running anything? Etc, etc.

Gods we're not. Although some here come pretty close. Not me.

Yeah, we need more information. Its sounds like a hardware failure to me.

Buy a Mac.

I've seen Macs have just as many problems.

Well excuse the f*ck out of me. Its an HP pavillion, Windows XP, it was on ac power, it was asleep like I said, and it will not boot at all.

It lights up the keyboard and the caps/scroll lights flash. I can't get it fixed anytime soon i'm currently deployed, just wanted to know if anyone had an idea.

So it won't boot at all now?

I am betting your HDD is screwed. If you can get the blue screen to come back up let me know.

In linux when your caps lock is blinking on boot it means you got a kernel panic, which is probably what this is (especially with the blue screen).

id try reinstalling, if that dont work its a hardware failure.
