Good answers so far: Stuck key, failing or nearly full HDD, and to add one more, some laps had a CMOS coin battery which upon failure sends you to BIOS default.

Many thanks. I'll give those tips a go when I get home tonight.

Also had that problem in the past, most of the time it's what Deepthought mentions, but, just in case check that you don't have a key stuck on your keyboard(s) too, could save you lots of time, hehe.

Just guessing but it sounds like a hdd problem, did a google search and got a number of different hits, something might help:

I would also try booting using a live usb/dvd to see if it will boot past the BIOS screen. :)

Hello,

I'm using an old Asus laptop with 3 GB RAM and 250GB hard disc and LL 3.8 installed. Been running for months without any real issue but hit a snag today.

I closed down properly last night but on booting up this morning, it opens up (immediately after the Asus logo) to BIOS. I can't see anything there which indicates a fault but each time I try to exit - whether by f10 or ESC - the laptop closes down. On booting up I'm instantly back to the BIOS screen. Just can't seem to get out of it. Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.
