Blue Screen
Hi my friends laptop randomly froze - a DELL 1300 notebook, so she turned it off and turned it back on. The DELL bios screen loads and then the screens just turns a dark blue colour. There is no writing like with a blue screen of death. I have tried using an xp boot cd, it comes up press any key to boot from cd, I press a key and the laptop screen just turns black as if it has turned off.
Can anyone help? Do you think something internally has gone down?

On an external screen, it is just blank, like on the laptop when trying to boot from CD and without the boot cd - the external screen goes a deep blue colour - a diffferent blue to the blue screen of death, slightly darker, again this occurs on the laptop also.
It's weird because I cant even boot from cd - I tried pressing F12 and then selecting the CD drive to boot - again the same occurs.
When I press to boot from CD, at first you can hear it reading from the CD and after about 3 seconds it stops and the screen just remains blank. I have tried two windows xp bootable CD's - sofar no look.
