Has it been overclocked? If it has, im pretty sure laptops have a CMOS battery just like a desktop computer. Check inside your laptop and remove the CMOS for 5 minutes and put it back in and it should reset your BIOS and return to normal

No but the votage regulator is fried from a 40V static charge

It overheats often but won't shut off

How did you fry the voltage regulator? Also if you are good with it, you can solder a new voltage regulator on. However it is not worth the risk and I would get it repaired. Or just buy a new laptop if you have the money.
