It's happening since I tried to get safe mode by pressing F8 button repeatedly
From the HP boot screen, launch the bult-in HP Hardware Diagnostics.
Run the "short" test against the RAM, and run the "short" test against the disk-drive.
Tell us the results.
Next step would be to boot from the Windows 7 DVD, and use the trouble-shooting software tools on that media.
