Does your machine have the AMD processor? I ask that because many HP machines (like my DV9005) that have the AMD processor also have a chip on the motherboard that gets very hot and causes failures like yours. My machine froze and refused to boot two weeks ago. The screen stayed black w/o any message from the BIOS. There was a single hard drive activity light flash but nothing else. I had my machine repaired by HP. They put in another motherboard. Another earlier symptom can be an intermittent faiilure of the OS to recognize the existence of your WiFi circuitry.
