Hi,

 

Out of nowhere it seems my laptop no longer wants to start. Sometimes, the power button flashes. Sometimes, the caps lock button flashes in a 3.2 pattern. Sometimes the screen will come on with a windows 'there's a problems screen. Sometimes, HP screen the  bars across the screen appear. 

 

What could be wrong? And how should I go about fixing this? Is there any way to get onto the computer to recover files?
