XP Will Not Start

[neuhausa]

My laptop froze for the first time ever. I restarted it and it was
working fine, but all of sudden it turned off. When I started it up,
it wouldn't make it to the Windows XP screen without stopping. It did
eventually work once, and I started it with the last known settings
that worked. XP ran a scan before it started and found that there were
corrupt file records in 1480 and 1483 in index $ISO, and that
oleacc.dll and oledlg.dll needed to be removed. XP then went on to
start up like normal, but a warning came up saying that keyhook.exe was
missing. I tried to run Live Update for Nortons Anti-Virus, and the
computer turned off again.

I ran Spybot in normal mode, and there were no problems. I started it
up in safe mode, and ran Nortons, which said that there were no
viruses. The computer then turned itself off, and I haven't been able
to boot it up since. When I hit the power button, the power light
comes on and the fan starts running, but nothing comes on the screen
and the processor is not doing anything.

The only program I have installed recently is the new version on
Winamp, which I installed yesterday. After the problems began, I
deleted WinAmp completely.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrew

Have you Googled to see what keyhook.exe is? No, you have not.

Yes, I have several times. It seems like an odd program, and lots of
people wonder what it does, but it seems to be a non-threat.
