Hey there! @chad019,
Are you able to boot into BIOS or F2 page from the PC?
Please share the product number of the PC to assist you better.
Try the steps recommended below.
Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by a hard reset, which decreases the amount of power stored in hardware components.
Shut down the computer, then disconnect the power cord from the rear of the computer.
Press and hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds, then release it. The power light indicator might turn on briefly then go out.
Reconnect the power cord, then turn on the computer to confirm if the issue is resolved.
Try updating the BIOS on the PC to the latest version.
