Damaged harddisk
Download the bootfloppy software from your harddisk's manufacturer, and boot through floppy. Then choose low-level format and maybe your harddisk is fixed, if it isn't fixed then, you'll have to buy yourself a new harddisk :<.

ps. If you do that lowlevel format, first make a backup (preferrably with a second harddisk if you have one), you can do this with the bootfloppy too...


edit: I was just thinking, it could be your o.s too, try booting your pc with your o.s installation disk, and then do a o.s repair in the o.s console...

Then you could try doing the following things:

1 check if your RAM sticks connect good with the mainboard (could be that theire a bit loose)

2 check the RAM sticks one by one

3 do a bios reset (just get that bios plug from your mobo, boot your pc, wait a few seconds until it beeps, shut your pc down again, put the plug back in)

4 look if your processor connects good, it can be that cooling paste has come between your mobo and processor

that would be a last solution
I don't exactly know where your plug is, since it differst from motherboard to motherboard, but if you give me a picture from your motherboard (or give me the mobo type), I'll be able to look it up for you. The battery, you can get that out, but getting the plug out is better, because if you damage the battery your mobo doesn't work anymore (it creates too much static then if you put it back in, which damages the mobo).
