Basically, I would declare this laptop as dead.

While it is possible that all that is wrong is a bad hard drive, I suspect that this machine has system board problems.

Plus, with many laptops it is very difficult to reset the BIOS level passwords.

Salvage what you can and properly dispose of the carcass.
