boot to startup menu, but stuck

[iamquestionable]

When trying to book the computer I get stuck at a screen that says

(HP logo center screen)

Press ESC key for Startup Menu

When I hit escape key on different keyboards, nothing happens. Sometimes when it boots, a different screen appears. This is an all black screen that says some basic hardware specs and again says press esc key for startup menu. Nothing happens here either

Also, I do not know how to add a picture of the screens. If someone knows, please say how. I know it can help to have pictures.

Thanks in advance
