If it's not an AMD video card, it's garbage for gaming. My Acer cost me $600(sale) upgraded to 8gb & Momentus XT hybrid 750gb HDD for $250. Runs 4x AA with 4x AF no problem in most games. Had to unlock bios with InsydeH2O & install the dedicated card drivers from UnifL.

You need to reset the bios, wrong settings in the bios can have your laptop frozen and unable to get past initial post. The other reason is a bios flash with the wrong bios or incomplete, failure. This case you will need to replace CMOS chip.

How many users on the notebook and do you have admin rights ? How do the users switch accounts, fast switch ? Go to Device Manager in Control Panel, do you see the camera name, do you have an exclamation point or question mark in there ? If not Camera is installed, it's a user rights or camera...

Several ways to fix that, I would say Restore to a point with no errors if you have it. Re-install the last service pack. Search web for Services List and restore what services are on and starting for your OS. Add Windows components from install disk, overwriting ones already installed. Run...
