I have HP Probook 445 g1 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed.

Now the problem is that when I boot up my PC it boots perfectly but after 4–5 seconds of entering the password, the mouse & keyboard stopped responding. Every attempt to type or click does not work.

Try this, might help

Boot to your installed system, switch to a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and install Unity2D.

sudo apt-get install Unity2D

Restart GDM

sudo service gdm restart

and switch back to your login screen (Ctrl+Alt+F7..F9) if it does not do so automatically.

At the bottom of the screen, you will find a list of options; look for Unity2D in one of the dropdown boxes. Select it, and login as normal. (You may have to enter your username before being allowed to select Unity2D as your desktop environment).

Please try this:

Reboot, but do not log in on the GUI.
Try to open a text terminal somehow (virtual termina, or by ssh) and see whether that's stable.

(I asked this as comment originally. It did work to get a stable text terminal as hoped.)

Now, assuming that works - great!

Now, you have a broken system, and an old version "12.04 LTS".
Fixing is easier in a new version, and I see not much reason why the problem should still exist after changing out all the software on the machine.

So, let's just do that, update to Ubuntu 14.4 and see how it works out - any objections?

If that's not possible, you can start with a normal package update anyway... let's see... Did not help? Hmmm...
One more shot into the blue: We uninstall, and reinstall all the input related parts of X:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove xserver-xorg-input-all
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all

Hope that helps- otherwise, we'll need to actually search the problem, I think...
Like... What kind of graphics, which driver do you use?
