If you can't get to the BIOS then this indicates a motherboard problem. I suggest you try the PFkey again (multiple times right after you turn the laptop on).
Good Luck

Okay. I've been going through this for the past month. Reading all sorts of stuff on possible graphics driver issues and viruses and none of those seem to have been the actual problem. I even re-installed to XP from Windows 7 Ultimate just to rid myself of any potential viruses and I was still getting similar problems. I have an external, so everything that was important was backed up. I did the CHKDSK and let it repair which took 12 long-ass hours and then I had all the same issues all over again. Even in Safe Mode I had problems. Sometimes it would work in the beginning and turn to crap. Then after a while I would get Preparing Security Options when hitting Control-Alt-Delete and it would hang until forced restart. Then after a forced restart, I would get a BSOD error. Then I downloaded Seatools to check the hard drive and it failed the Short DST which means my hard drive was crapping out big time.
I would download Seagate Seatools. It's free. And if your hard drive passes then you can cross that off your list of issues. I wish I could be more help because there was very little for me on this issue even though it seems to be widespread.
