More information is needed. What was the last thing done before the computer malfunctioned? This problem could be a number of things. One thing you can do is to test the hard-drive and see if the hard-drive went south.

I recommend going to the manufacturer's website of the hard drive and download the dianogstics utility. Then put the program on a CD and boot the computer to it. Afterwards, test the HD for any errors and see if the HD crashed on you.
