It's normal for perfectly functioning notebook hard drives to "rattle" when shaken. It's how they are constructed.

Try tapping the F-10 key during boot and see if the BIOS pops up. Re-seat the memory modules and check the connectors. If the BIOS continues to not be accessible it may be that a trace on one of the internal boards may be broken.
