Laptop stuck on XP resume screen

When trying to start my acer travelmate 4150 this morning it wouldn’t boot. The fan whirred and then shut off like when the battery is low so I plugged it into the mains and still had the same problem.

I tried taking out each ram stick and powering on to check and on removing one of the sticks the laptop started to show the acer flash screen but freezes when the “resuming windows” text comes up.

I’ve tried pressing various keys to get into bios or cancel the resume but it didnt work.

Any ideas? 🙁
