Black screen at bootup?

$

I am having a HP Pavillion G4 1317-AU laptop

Currently it runs Linux mint in dual boot with Windows 7. Recently my dad was on the pc and, well, he says he only checked his mail and then tried to shut down. Then to hurry things along apparantly he held down the power button while shutting down.

Since then, windows has been unable to boot. Every time i select "Windows 7" from GRUB, it only gives up a black screen. I tried leaving the laptop on the black screen for approximately 30 minutes to see if it is just some diagnostics, no luck however.
I am out of ideas, i am able to boot into Linux mint (Accessing from Mint right now) without any kind of trouble.

Another strange thing however is abnormal fan behaviour, during startup (Power button all the way to GRUB the fan runs much louder than usual, and it is significantly louder than usual when selecting Windows 7. It's quiet as usual in mint though).
Any help is REALLY appreciated.
