When you say the startup just hang, where does it actually stuck? in the early power up or after Windows flag shows up?

Then try plug in adapters first before plug in batteries so test it whether it would start …

We need to have more information about your laptop like how old it is? Can be an overheating issue or maybe a virus. Try taking out the batteries and plug in the power cord. See whether it can start up.

I don't think it's a virus either way. A virus infection can only occur in Windows, not in bios or bootup but if it do happen to be an infection in bios, my previous solution will reset bios to default.
This solution will do some damage if you aren't careful with this. Remove battery and adapter before doing this. Do it at your own risk. Close the laptop lid and flip over your laptop. There should be a panel cover that can be opened but need to open with a screwdriver. Unscrew those panel and pull out the cover to reveal a 2'5 inch Hard Disk Drive and probably also RAM slot. Carefully remove them (HDD only).
Then try to turn on again your laptop. If there's no avail. Pull out RAM and replace it on another available RAM slot. Then try again...
This is to ensure that your HDD and your RAM is in fine condition.

You can download it from another computer and burn the downloaded .iso as CD. Then just insert the cd to the laptop cd/dvd drive and set BIOS to boot from it...
Just wondering. During the start up, did the BIOS shows up? (The one with gibberish text just before Windows logo shows up)

NO.it will not be ok ,the purpose of the live lenux is to see if it works on you computer without any problems.what we are trying to help you do is figure out if the laptop has a hardware problem or a software problem .if the live cd works and you can use it for hrs at a time ,then you laptop has a software [windows is software ]therefor a reinstall of windows would be needed to fix your laptops problems
