now u know where your hair went
anyway,
looks like you toasted your HDD (does it maybe even make a clicking or scratching noise?).
as a first step, i'd recommend doing what Phil^ said (clean the air intake),
second what Doorsdown said (make sure that the system runs smoothly if bypassing the HDD by using some live-cd-os like knoppix or similar)
if step 2 works fine, then it's propably 'only' the HDD.
you could then try to
- low level format your HDD (check the HDD/laptop manufacturer's website for a tool - i hope it's not a fujitsu HDD) and reinstall your OS
- if that again hangs... you might need to get a new HDD.
hope that helps.
