It sounds as though your system is getting no power at all- try a second ac adapter. If that does not work, if in warranty, contact your technical support provider to get it serviced. If not, there is a good chance you will need a replacement motherboard- find a reputable technician and see about purchasing the replacement board.

This is a sign of a driver that really got corrupted , one thing that you can do here is to format and recover the files after doing the format and hopefully those files inside the drive are still intact and not fully damage or corrupted. So format the drive and once done download this software for recovering the files from the formatted drive its called Recuva you can download it from download.com and its for free. Install it to your computer and when you're already trying to recover the files enable the deep scan option.

for bios password reset u need to plug out the bios cell which is present below ur laptop battery...& then plug it again...

The RAM may need reseating or it maybe faulty.
If reseating the RAM module/s doesn't work and if you have two RAM modules, then try one at a time.
You could take the RAM to your friendly shop and get them tested or test them in another laptop.

Usually this means it supports 512 mb of "Single sided" ram, which is rarer and more expensive... the usual ram you buy now is double-sided.. which will often only see one of the sides in older machines.

the one that connects to your dsl should be Ethernet. Are you sure there is no network port on your PC? the image below shows where this port is. does the dsl fit in here?

Not sure if you are up to this but if you remove the bios battery for a minute it will reset you may also be able to search for manual for laptop or you may have one

oooh..blue screen too, I'll bet..you may need to boot from install cd, to recover, if you don't have a recovery disk..that is..
