Julian pal, it looks like it's trying to boot from LAN and not your HDD. Go into the bios and see if it detects your HDD. (It may just have lost the settings) Hopefully the HDD is ok. If it does detect you HDD change the settings to boot from your HDD first (you can disable the other boot devices if you want) ... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (Build 7600) CPU AMD Phenom Quad core 9950 black edition Motherboard Gigabyte Memory 8Gb Graphics Card 2x XFX Radeon 5850 Sound Card PCI Express X-Fi Titanium / Logitech G35 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP 2410i Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU Jean Tech Storm 700W Case Cooler Master COSMOS S Cooling Akasa Evo Blue Pro Hard Drives 1x 500Gb Seagate

That is good news.
Do you use the Notebook on your lap, which will cause overheating. | My System Specs | | |

Sounds like it was.
Would be worth having a good clean out of dust. | My System Specs | | |

Sounds like you had a heat problem.
Never, never, never set a laptop on you lap or on any fabric.
Most, but not all-apple being the smart one-have breathing vents on the bottom. Block those and the temps climb.
Two programs to monitor your temps: one is speccy, and another is CoreTemp. There are others but those are the two I use. I also install the coretemp gadget.
