I have a question about What do I do if my BIOS is causing a problem with Windows?:

When I turn on my laptop, it just shows the openening bios or intel or whatever it is logo and then doesnt do anything else. It says I can press 2 keys - F1 and F9 to go into some bios screen, which barely ever works cause it keeps stopping. Sometimes I can turn it on though (like now). Im running W-XP on a laptop, it occasionally overheats and turns off and im guessing this might have something to do with it. any help?

What brand and model of laptop do you have.  I have seen this with some Toshiba laptops. 
 It sometimes means that your processor fan is not properly working.  If so you need 
to take it in to have it serviced.

IBM Thinkpad P111, 697 mhz, the fan is small (3-4cm) and at the bottom of the laptop, and there are no stands, so the fan is basically useless unless you put it over the edge of a table
