Why will my HP laptop computer not boot?

If by rebooting its getting as far as the Windows logo, and then rebooting it sounds like Windows has become corrupt. So not nessecerily a motherboard fault. If you have a Windows CD (or recovery CD) then you should be able to try and recover the existing installation. Simply pop in the CD, let it load up, and select R for recovery. Follow the on-screen prompts and when you get to a C:Windows prompt type chkdsk and let the program do the work.

Good Luck
