Computer Problems!

Oh noes, here is another computer problem thread for you guys to fix. XD

I'm having a small problem with booting up my computer, an HP laptop. If I leave it closed while turned on, then go to open it again later, sometimes it does not fully boot up. All the lights on the keyboard come on, but the screen doesn't come on, and neither does the light on my USB mouse.

I have to hold the power button to turn it off, and even turning it back on does not fix the problem. I can hear the discs in the hard drive spin as though it's going to boot up, then they slow back down. Then the lights dim for a second, and the HD spins again. It keeps doing this, never fully booting up.

In order to fix it, I have to remove the battery for about 5 minutes, and power back up.

I'm just worried because it was a pretty expensive computer, and I'd really like for it to not be messing up.

Anyone know what could be causing this, and how to fix it?

I know this seems pretty "duh"...but have you tried scrolling the curser using the pad provided on the laptop itself, for the screen to work?

Forgot to mention that that doesn't turn on either.
