Remove the cable. Keep pressing F8 while you power on the system and choose safe mode, press enter. Screen will roll up a few pages and stops for a while. wait a few minutes. windows will start in safe mode Scan for viruses. Restart. It is a virus problem

SOURCE: Laptop goes into permanent sleep mode, etc

If you can restart it and it starts up fine, then I would go into the power settings and disable sleep mode. Every computer is different on how to wake a sleeping computer, so you could read through your manuals and find out for yours, but I just disable sleep mode on all computers so i dont have to hassle with it.

SOURCE: CAN'T START UP COMPUTER DETECTS NO MOUSE OR KEYBOARD

The Blue Screen Your Are Talking About Its UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME and in case of blue screen mouse and keyboard are not detected as WINDOWS are not loading....

There Are 3 Ways To Resolve It But For All 3 Methods We Need The MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP OPERATING SYSTEM DISK...
1st Method Is WINDOWS RE-INSTALLATION. But In This Case All Your Data Would Be Gone..

2nd Method Is WINDOWS PARALLEL RE-INSTALLATION and in this method your data would be saved but you need to install the DRIVER'S SOFTWARE'S and other APPLICATIONS.

3rd Method Is The Easiest And I Prefer Which Is To Repair The Booting Sector.

To repair the volume, follow these steps: (10-15 Minutes)

1. Start your computer by inserting the Windows startup disks or the MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP OPERATING SYSTEM DISK if your computer can start from the CD drive.
2. When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R to select the repair option.
3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the Windows installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
4. Type the administrator password when you are prompted to do this.
   
   Note If no administrator password exists, press ENTER.
5. At the command prompt, on the drive where Windows is installed, type chkdsk /p, and then press ENTER.
6. It will ask u to overwrite the boot sector so press Y and overwrite the boot sector.
7. type FIXBOOT and hit enter.
8. When Everything Is done and new boot sector has been written successfully... type EXIT.
   
9. Take Out Windows Disk and Restart Your System..
   

• If the file system is damaged, you can use chkdsk /r command to repair the volume. However, if you use the chkdsk /r command, you may lose some data.
• You will need the Windows startup disks or the Windows installation disk. If you do not have them, contact the computer manufacturer for help in obtaining the disks.
• You will need the administrator password to complete the steps.
