Frank - your missing the point!
You have two issues - the first being that your machine will not boot. This is where you need to check the "seating" of the hard drive using my previous suggestion.
The second point is relative to the internet browser and not specifically to hotmail. With regards to this situation, I would be inclined to ensure that the machine is fully patched and if neccessary try an alternative internet browser (Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari are all possible options).
I hope this helps - however the second solution cannot be put into place if you cannot solve the first issue.
Jeff
be displaced from its point but still I'll try.
Jeff, if my web browser(IE) is the problem then how come only
the hotmail.com site is causing the problem? why not the rest of
the sites cause the problem?
I hope my doubt is clear to u.
Thanks

Frank,
All devices with metal components are prone to "creep" and I have seen it as a factor on numerous occassions. Whilst I appreciate the "god" like status passed on by the recipient of help, I do let them know that the problem required only removing the drive and replacing it and your problem regarding your Lenovo machine is identical to one I repaired last week with another Lenovo machine. There are many myths and areas of "smoke and Mirrors" within our industry, however those of us with the experience need to empower our clients / customers / users with all the basic repair skills which in turn will release us to carryout more technical challenges.
I am not saying that this is the definative solution to your problem - I am saying that it would be daft to overlook such a simple solution to a problem based in physics (metal grows and shrinks depending on the ambient temperature).
The issue regarding your Hotmail issue - is the hotmail site used as your homepage? Have you ensured that the machine is clear of infections? http://www.malwarebytes.org will provide a fantastic free piece of software which may assist you in uncovering possible miscreants.
Is your IE 100% upto date, what addons are you running and have you tried disabling them, have you tried resetting your IE, have you tried running IE in safe mode, are you in a situation to try other internet browsers?
All possible thoughts relating to your situation - if I have others then I will post them next time

Definetly run IE with no addons and see what happens.. (Control Panel>Internet Options>Programs [tab]>Manage Addons).
