I have an HP. I put the shit on hibernate but i ended up staying at my girls house for a few days now usually when its on hibernate it shows a black "resuming windows" screen... but this time it just stayed on that screen.. left it there for a couple of hrs and nothing.. hp customer support is the worst and im not sure they'll help since ive had the comp for a couple of years. If anyone has any ideas or sites that i can look at please let me know
Thankfully most of my important documents i had stored on an external drive but theres still some stuff i dont want to lose.

Yeah, only thing you can do is turn it off. Hold the power button.

BIOS basically tells all you about the hardware connected to your computer and how much memory you have. It's a very low tech looking screen. Get there, make sure nothing is wrong, and once you exit that screen, it should restart. Not sure how your computer works, but I'm thinking that'll work.
