My Pavilion G7 refuses to boot

Every time I try to boot my laptop it goes through a ridiculous process that keeps taking more and more time. I've resorted to, once it does eventually let me in, not shutting it down and just putting it to sleep until I need to use it next. That cannot be good but I'm at a loss for what else to do.

If I do shut it down, it will show the HP starting screen and then crash, reboot, and do the same thing about 4 times before I can do anything.
When it finally gets past the HP screen, the black "Launch startup repair" or "Start Windows normally" comes up. If I choose startup repair, the ever lovely blue screen comes up, either saying something about a BIOS update, which makes no sense because the computer, when working properly, updates the BIOS when needed' or it'll have some otter error. When I try to choose "Start Windows normally" it crashes.
I've tried doing F8 and starting in safe mode, but that crashes too.
Eventually, after about 5 time of crashing, it will allow the startup repair to finish, and let me in.
The crashes and blue screens become more frequent everytime I try to shut my laptop down and turn it on. I have no idea what to do. The laptop isn't very old, not even a year, and it doesn't have any viruses. I'm going to take it in to a repair shop soon, but does anyone know what could be causing this? It started a month or so after I bought it.
