Could be the hard drive, could be the RAM (if you have more than one stick try taking one out), could be the media itself.
 
Does indeed sound like the hard drive or the ram. If you are able to remove it and on a spare computer trying viewing the hard drive in windows.

At the very least you will be able to see if it is working and possibly make a backup which should be already backed up but generally not. If it hasn't already been formatted that is.

If the hard drive is dead just pick up and new one and re-install your OS on it.

2.5inch laptop drives

Although for 1TB this isn't a bad deal.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Samsung SpinPoint M8 2.5" 1TB 5400RPM SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HN-M101MBB) HDD £62.99
Total : £71.69 (includes shipping : £7.25).

Thank you, if I replace the ram with my ram from another laptop to see if that's the problem will it harm the new ram ?
