Laptop SUPER slow (probably hardware)

by Ryuk13 | October 24, 2013 4:40 AM PDT

Hey guys,

I was watching a movie when suddenly the video stopped, everything stopped, tried restarting - windows won't even boot, the laptop gets incredibly hot and doesn't do anything. Tried booting from a CD - same, impossibly slow, just doesn't move anywhere.

Laptop:
HP Pavilion dv6 7000
Core i7, 8GB RAM, nVidia GeForce GT 630.

OS- Windows 7

I don't think it's the hard drive, since windows attempts to boot but just gets in a loop on the windows flag.

Any guesses? Suggestions??
