I had an older Dell laptop of classic '1.5 inches thick closed, 700Mhz P3 era' that eventually died with POST freezing and I think I chalked it up to the southbridge going on the fritz as it stopped recognizing both the cd-rom and the internal hard disk despite attempts to correct it. Given it was not usb bootable it was essentially dead at that point.

Computer's are finicky creatures sometimes. :p

Here are the things you could check for:

1. HD gone bad.
2. RAM issue
3. A DVD Or CD-ROM drive gone bad
4. Possibly PSU issue.
