Does your laptop have a floppy drive? If not check your BIOS settings (boot order/boot sequence). Change the order and make CD/DVD drive appear on top of the list. Place HDD as second. If you do not have floppy drive try to disable or place it as third or last on the list.

are you able to get into safemode. If so, try to do a system restore to a previously saved restore point.
