I factory reset my laptop completely last night and I did the complete version so I went to sleep while it took 5-6 hours to do so, when I woke up it had a pinwheel screen so I held the power button and turned it off. When I turn it back on it goes to the pinwheel screen, turns black, then goes to the pinwheel screen again. It’s been doing this for the past 3 hours and I have no clue how to fix it.

Recommended Precautions for Running a System Recovery:
• Back up your personal data (All files in the system will be erased during the system recovery)
• Only have your power cord, keyboard, mouse, and monitor (in case of desktop) and only power cord (in case of notebooks) attached during the system recovery. (If other devices (printers, cameras, Ethernet cable for internet connection, audio speakers’ cable, and dual display setup) are connected during the system recovery, the system recovery process may stop and fail)
