Hi @8432,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

It sounds like your computer might be encountering a boot issue due to an incomplete reset or a hardware/software conflict. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and potentially resolve these issues:

1. Power Cycle the Computer

Turn Off the Computer:

  • Press and hold the power button until the computer completely shuts down.

Disconnect Power:

  • Unplug the power cord from the computer. If it's a laptop, also remove the battery if it's removable.

Wait and Reconnect:

  • Wait for about 30 seconds to a minute. Reconnect the power cord and, if applicable, reinsert the battery.

Turn On the Computer:

  • Press the power button to turn the computer back on.

2. Check for External Peripherals

Disconnect All External Devices:

  • Remove all connected peripherals (USB drives, external hard drives, printers, etc.).

Try Booting Again:

  • Power on the computer with only the essential components connected (monitor, keyboard, mouse).

3. Check Display and Monitor

Ensure Monitor Connection:

  • Verify that the monitor is properly connected to the computer and powered on.

Check Display Input Source:

  • Make sure the monitor is set to the correct input source (HDMI, VGA, etc.).

Try a Different Monitor/Cable:

  • If possible, connect to a different monitor or use a different cable to rule out display issues.

4. Access BIOS/UEFI Settings

Turn On and Enter BIOS/UEFI:

  • Restart the computer and immediately press the BIOS access key (usually F2, F10, F12, Esc, or Del) as soon as you see the initial startup screen.

Check Boot Order:

  • Ensure that the hard drive or SSD where your operating system is installed is set as the primary boot device.

Reset BIOS Settings:

  • If you can access BIOS/UEFI, look for an option to Reset to Default Settings or Load Optimal Defaults. Save the changes and exit.

5. Perform a Hard Reset

Turn Off the Computer:

  • Power off the computer completely.

Power On and Immediately Press Safe Mode Key:

  • As you power on the computer, repeatedly press the F8, Shift + F8, or Shift key to try and enter Safe Mode.

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
