Oh Thank God. This is the kind of therad I have been searching for .
Okay gurus, here we go.

My PC (hp Elitebook 8440p) does Not boot. After the boot animation, It says:

'Your PC needs to be repaired.
Boot configuration data is missing or corrupted. '

Then It displays some error code below it . It also says I should fix this problem by inserting my installation disc or media(ie the W8 disc since I am using W8).

So on trying to fix this problem, I inserted my windows 8.0 installation disc and restarted the PC. On restart, I entered boot options and on boot options I could find only

1. Notebook hard drive
2. Notebook ethernet

No USB or CD rom.
So I set out to go to BIOS settings to includewindows installationdisc or even USB among the boot optiins but lo and behold, it was asking for bios password and I didn't remember puttinga password for my bios and the first person to use the PC before me is dead :-(
So I don'treally knowwhat to do right now. I am trapped and i'mstanding on a time bomb now because my final year project work i'd inside the harddrive of the PC and I my defence is next week friday.

Please gurus help me. I would liketo have my system back on and in operation.
Thank you all for your responses.

Well like someone said you can use your internal HDD as external to copy your project and if you have a spare system or that of a friend, you can put your HDD in it and do the formating their before you now return it to your system.

take it to an engineer. this is obviously an internal error. the fan system or the heat sink are the chief culprit. Loosing the laptop and removing dust from the fan area can solve this problem. if that doesnt work, replacing the fan or heat sink should.
Lest i forget, i hope you are not forcing high-spec requiring games on your laptop? undecided undecided. Because that can also cause the VGA to overheat as the game spec requirements are higher than what it is made for.

Prices of laptop varies depending on the brand, model, age, and most importantly the specification of the laptop. A budget of 60k-70k should give you a laptop that can perform well as well as durable for long term use. if you are in Lagos , whatsapp me on 08164685979 for suggestions on what you may like.

his is the 3rd time I'm having this problem on 2 different computer systems. The problem is when I press the power button the lights on and the fans start running but nothing displays on the screen. I have tried:

Removing dust
Reseating the ram
Ressetting the cmos and even changing the battery

There is no blown capacitor and the motherboard seems to be ok.

Please does anyone know what I should do? I'm thinking of changing the motherboard

before u change motherboard, change motherboard battery first. Its called SIMOS battery. Most laptop reps cant even go online to find solutions to what they dont know. I hav been told it will cost N1500

That is likely the beginning of a bad screen. Try to use your two or three fingers in tapping the screen to see if there are changes in display, if true, then you got a bad screen. Also try moving the screen back and forth to observe changes in display. if you observe changes , then your signal cable maybe acting up. Hence changing your screen or signal cable will resolve this issue. Lastly, this problem maybe a video graphics adapter(VGA) problem. if true, I advice you get a new motherboard.

My new laptop started showing purple line on the screen and later started shaking. Now I can't even use it for anything because the shaking is disturbing me in the eye.

What do I do about it? How much will it cost to repair it?
