Product: HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra-slim PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra-slim PC sometimes gets stuck on startup. It freezes on the "post" letter or is stuck on a blinking hyphen. I press the power button again and it boots normally. It doesn't happen every time; it's intermittent and random.
HP Compaq Elite 8300 USDT / UEFI BIOS K01 v03.08, 10/4/2019 / i7-3770S / 16GB / HDD SATA 500 GB; MSATA 128GB
