I used to have a home computer with the same issue, it's probably because it was overloaded and the computer had less that 300MB of RAM to use. Oh, and the computer I had eventually (literally) blew up, but I now know what to do. Try wiping your hard drive.

How do you wipe it?

Ask your dad, he'll know.

You can take it to the shop as well, my laptop had internal hardware damage and they fixed it just fine

Why take it to the shop when you can fix it yourself? I pulled every single part out of my laptop just to clean the fan (don't turn the fan the wrong way... best if u don't turn it at all lol). Just don't wipe it if you have lots of important files. If you want to pull your computer apart though, it is very hard. (I have a Compaq Presario CQ61.) I used to have a lot of problems with the OEM copy of Windows 7 that came with my computer. It takes ages to boot, went really slow, Couldn't play Minecraft because it was that slow, overheated all the time, got the BSoD quite a few times, I have had to restore the original factory settings a few times. After I backup up all my stuff and wiped my entire hard disk (took about 6-7 hours) and installed Ubuntu Linux, it booted in about 2-3 seconds (about 15-20 seconds to desktop depending on how fast I type my password), really fast, could play Minecraft, BSoD doesn't exist in Linux  , I have never needed to reformat my computer or anything after that, etc. After a while, I needed my Windows programs back again (because WINE cannot run them), so I installed Windows Developer Preview, then I installed Windows Consumer Preview when I could get it. I also managed to get the latest version of Ubuntu.
No more problems now, just more cool stuff! I think I have typed too much about my computer now so I will stop in 3... 2... 1... now!

Fail?...
I need a clearer camera...

This isnt to do with your laptop`s make, because the exact problem happened with my computer, and happens with other computers. The main reason this happens is because there is an issue with the ram.

Try this:

Tests
1. Remove ONE stick of RAM, and boot it up. If fails, place the other stick of RAM in that slot. If fails, replace motherboard.

1. Remove BOTH sticks of RAM and put one in a slot. If working, try the same card in the other slot. If this dosnt work, Try the next stick of RAM in both slots. If working, go on to step two. If not, replace the motherboard.

2. Replace the RAM which causes the system not to boot. Replace both sticks. ONLY install one of the sticks in case it dosnt work. Try it in both sockets. If all works fine, install the second stick. If new RAM dosnt work, replace the motherboard.

Sources: Experience. One of my RAM sockets fried, and after doing the tests above, I eventually figured out the problem. At first I thought it was the ram stick, but the socket itself had blown.

i wouldn't expect it to successfully POST if the RAM was bad, but maybe it is and NT doesn't like it? but it's strange that it suddenly asked for a password?

It isn't reading my CD...
RE-INSTALL MY SYSTEM!!!!!
