My laptop that is a Dell E6410 and I was working on it when it kinda got un responsive. So I force shut down it. Now it won't go past a black screen after POST. I can get into BIOS and tried resetting it manually i.e. via removing the cell from the laptop and the battery too, and also via the bios itself. But still the same. BTW when on black screen the heat vent heats up like hell. I'm out of ideas so any help would be appreciated.
Regards

If I missed something relevant mention it in the comments and I'll add.
Does it just stick at a blank screen or does it restart itself? Are you able to try another hard drive to see what might happen? – TheWanderer – 2016-06-29T12:48:44.757
You should tag your question with Linux OS and Ubuntu. Obviously it's not your only computer. Can you download a "Repair Disk" for Linux OS systems? – ejbytes – 2016-06-29T12:55:35.870
It stays there and doesnt do anything. I can try that other hdd option. As for the ubuntu thing. That isnt it coz the hdd light doesnt show activity. – echo_salik – 2016-06-29T12:59:13.753
Forgot to add one thing in my comment. Can't boot to a usb too. Same happens. A blank screen. – echo_salik – 2016-06-29T13:00:10.240
I reset the bios for the 100th time and it started to work. It showed a line intel media firmware etc line for a second and it booted! Now is anyone able to tell me why it didnt work before? – echo_salik – 2016-06-29T14:46:06.900
