Hi,
Try removing the Battery and cable from your laptop for 15 minutes.
See if that helps

what do you mean by "new/old HDD"? how did you try different ram?

Hi,
In your case I think you might need to contact Microsoft.
Here is there Answer Techs Chat Page.
That is probably the quickest solution.
Hope this Helps
