    hp vista not booting, system recovery not starting

    hey i have a hp g 60 notebook and the vista is not starting up on it. i have been using this computer for an year now, yesterday while playing a game, a blue screen came up and restarted my laptop. Since then i am not able to boot the laptop.everytime i try to start the laptop the hp logo comes up and then the screen goes black.

    I have entered the start up menu using Esc and run all the testes in system diagnostics and everthing is fine there. I have also tried using system recovery and it takes me back to the black screen.

    please help.

    I'm not a great fan of the inbuilt diagnostics - so I suggest trying these:

    H/W Diagnostics:
    Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
    Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
    HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)
