hit f8 when you start up, should give you an option to repair your computer.

You should then be able to restore windows and get it up and running. You might need the disc though if there isn't a recovery partition available.

Where are you using it? make sure you're not blocking the air intake underneath with your knee or something else.

Does it allow airflow underneath the laptop?

Similar thing happened to mine, caused by over heating as I just rested it on my bed instead of on something solid, use it on a tray now.

Sounds like your windows is corrupted, only way to fix this is to reinstall windows 7
