    does trying to get into safe mode help? It's probably not hardware related (unless its disk).

    I think I had that same problem on an old laptop it would boot then before windows would appear I would just get a black screen and nothing would respond I had to hold the power button in for so long before it would finally shut off and I tried every setting on boot to no avail. I eventually replaced the HDD which got the laptop working again, but I be damned if I know exactly what was wrong a friend told me it may have been the HDD just went out or a bad sector caused it to lock up he took it and tried messing with it and couldn't even get it to format properly as it would hang at a certain percentage.

    try reinstalling windows, that usually helps, or else it can be a hardware problem, u can reinstall it without having the need to delete all your information on your HDD
