    Black screen right after switching my laptop on


    Hi guys
    I have a lenovo G570. Yesterday, I tried turning on my laptop. Win 10 booted, and then hanged right at the login screen. The cursor wasn't moving and it was like that for a few minutes. Eventually I got fed up and pulled out the battery (a big mistake). Then the screen was black after I switched it on again. Lights were glowing, fan moving but nothing on the screen. I kept it like that for a few minutes. Then, I switched it off by holding the power button, removed battery, connected ac adapter and pressed the power button and it got switched on! It started working normally but then restarted suddenly. But this time, instead of booting all the way to the desktop, it stopped at windows logo and then gave me the blue screen of death. Some system file which I don't remember was 'lost' or had 'an error'. The error was 'SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION' I restarted, This time again it loaded to login screen and then restarted. There was 'winload.exe' now instead of the previous file on the blue screen of death. Again restarted and now it won't show anything. Tried like 50 times already. Lights glowing, fan moving but no display. I guess the windows has been corrupted or something. But how do I access bios now to launch installation cd or to usb boot?
    Thank you so much.

    EDIT: Reseated RAM, HDD. Still nothing. The led on usb drive not glowing when I plug it in but the dvd is making sounds in it. No idea what to do. Please help.

    There's no use of it. I can't even access the BIOS. It's just a black screen after pressing the power button. The LED on my usb drive is not glowing when I connect it.

    Tried everything till 'Disconnect and reconnect the CPU'. No changes. No beeps or anything. The only sounds are the sound of the fan and sound from somewhere near the hdd. I want to keep disconnecting cpu and other steps as last resorts. Are you sure there's no simpler way out? Maybe the problem is only with the os or bios? Can I do anything else?

    For failure to boot some testing methods for ruling in or ruling out are:

    1) Using a Ubuntu / Linux bootable flash drive

    2) Booting with Memtest86+ version 5.01

    3) Using bootable rescue

    I CANNOT access the bios so obviously I cannot change the boot order. I have a puppy linux usb lying around but it's not even detecting it. It's just a black screen. No bios even.
