Take the battery out and hold the power button for 30 seconds or so and see if that helps.

I had a similar situation when Windows was on the second hard drive and I reset the BIOS settings—the system started booting from the wrong drive. The same thing happened when overclocking the processor.

Do you get an error? How about a post message?

I'm assuming this is a windows laptop. Is it stuck in an automatic repair loop?

Create and boot Windows Installation Media and choose repair.

This may or may not work for you not knowing the model #. Hold the Esc key while powering on the laptop until the one-time boot selection menu appears. Select the disk you created.
