Does your computer beep at all on boot up? If your bios is actually badly flashed you would require a new motherboard which would likely be close to the cost of a new laptop.
On a side note when ever I purchase a laptop there is an important decision that is made. And that is should I get a 3 year warranty or 1 year. If the cost of the laptop is substantial such that in a years time the cost of this laptop would still be significant (usually greater than $600) then I go with the 3 year otherwise I go with a 1 year.
Here is the thing about laptops. They are constantly being moved so they get bumped and they get dropped. They are very compact so they typically have heat issues. They are proprietary so you cannot easily replace parts with commodity parts. In general i'd say a majority of laptops will fail in some major way within the 1-2 year range. Thus when you purchase a laptop decide do you want this laptop to last 1 year or 3 years. As soon as that warranty expires you are on borrowed time. Laptops will fail often.
