Hmm.. I remember long time ago I had a Virus... Bios Bricker.
It had corrupted my bios, so I had to take my MoBo to the nearest tech center for the bios reflashing on a special programming device...
Maybe something similar happened to you ?!....
If your notebook is on a guarantee you better do not touch any seals on it.. Send it to repair center and ask, if possible, to back up some of your important data. (like C:\notes\, D:\Music etc.)

I can explain once i turn the power on normally we will see the light on keyboard flashing all three 2 time before it turn the number lock light on and what that is normal boot up with working keyboard. With my HP, I did see my keyboard flashing twice then it stop wont turn the number lock light on so then we know something is wrong. I had to be really quick from time I power up the computer to time second flash appear I can try tapping on F8, F10, F11 or ESC but it still freeze on blue screen with logo of HP Invent. I did something to get F8 to work once but again I got to windows error recovery screen there was a no go mean keyboard connection is dead you basically can choose what one you want on that screen then MS choice default until white bar on bottom that progressing great until the very end it lock up freeze. I couldnt get back to that screen again after many attempt like unpluging and wait, plug back in still dont help. It intersting because I tried it with two different keyboard still no go. (I felt like I was going to break the F8 key but good thing I can control my anger hehe)

yes, i am aware you are using vista. i was referring to some time ago when many xp users had issues with the then new xp sp2, and trying to draw a corollary. did you try a ps/2 keyboard? if you manage to get into your bios, disable the "quickboot" options, and get rid of the hp post screen, opting for the text screen, so you can see what, if any errors show up. did you always have the hp logo at post? my wife had a similar issue, and it turned out to be her psu, after adding an extra optical drive, and a new gpu. so you haven't installed any new hardware since you have had your system? are you the only owner of the system, or was it used when purchased?
