Please Help!!!

I have a Compaq Armada 1540DM laptop

When I turn it on it starts the boot process & only gets to the part where it is counting the memory & gets to 32768KB & stops. I can not boot into safe mode, or get into the BIOS to change mt boot options. What can I try to do to fix this computer. I would like to format & start over but can't get that far. PLEASE HELP

When you say it just stops, does it really just stop? Do you get any error at all?

How many sticks of memory does your computer have? It could be a memory-related problem, so if you have two sticks, try booting with only one.
