There are several reasons this could happen; Bad RAM, Bad Sectors on Hard Drive, Boot Sector Corrupted/Damaged, Virus. The first thing to try is your Startup Disk, which was created when Windows was first installed on your computer. Make sure the disk is write-protected. If it boots up you can start checking your system for viruses and running Scan Disk or a third party Hard Drive Diagnostic. If it doesn't, odds are you have a hardware problem. When you first start to boot up, your system usually does a RAM test. Did you get any error message regarding memory failure? Since you didn't mention any, I will assume that the RAM is OK. When your system started booting up, you said that sometimes you got Scan Disk, which run. Did you get any error messages regarding your hard drive? Since you didn't mention any, I will assume your hard drive is OK too. Check all connections at the back and/ or front of your computer. If you find any loose, they may be your problem. One thing comes to mind, you mentioned that you were unable to get to the BIOS setup, and unable to make Boot Menu choices. Check your KeyBoard connection. If it is tight try changing your keyboard. If you find no problems so far, you will need to check connections inside your computer case. If you don't have the experience to do this refer it to a qualified person. Let us know what you find out and if you need more help.
