HP Recommended

When I turn on this PC it takes some time to open up. The screen is black, the HP logo never shows up. After a while it finally opens to the main screen with the time on and asks to enter pin. Once you do that it provides access to work with it. However, if stop for a few seconds it goes to sleep and can never be waken up; need to shut down at the power button on the PC, let it rest for a few minutes and then try to turn on to open again. One other thing is when it is starting and need to enter the BIOS screen to verify the boot order (the internal disks are the HDs that came with the PC and a new SSD) by pressing repeatedly the ESC key it only gives a loud beep but nothing on the screen that allows to see and verify the boot config.

I understand that by having the SSD which was cloned with the C:/ from the original HD the windows 11 would avoid much of the slowness and perform better. But the conditions described above don't let me verify that the boot is coming from the new SSD.

Any suggestions and advise would be greatly appreciated so I can fix these booting problems and keep the PC working without sleeping in the middle of the work.
