My PC has been freezing at the HP Omen loading screen any time it's turned on. A strange work around I found out was to press f11 on startup then go into the UEFI settings. From there if I run a quick system scan then exit the UEFI menu it would load up and work until it was turned off. Now that doesn't seem to be working anymore either. It just swaps between the normal startup to repair startup until it freezes on one of these again.
