HP Pavilion laptop

So, whenever I try to turn on my laptop a black screen appears and a menu shows up. It says: 

F1 System Information 

F2 System Diagnostics

F9 Boot Device Options

F10 BIOS Setup

F11 System Recovery

F12 Network Boot

 

Enter Continue Startup

For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

 

I already did everything I read to start the computer but nothing is working. All of the tests passed and nothing seems visibly wrong
