Open the System Tests menu when Windows won't start.

1. Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.

2. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.

3. On the main menu, click System Tests.

   The System Tests menu displays.

4. Then click Extensive Test.

   

5. Click Run once, or Loop until error.

   While the test is running, the time remaining and test result for each component displays on the screen. The test can take 2 or more hours to complete.

   

6. If a component fails a test, write down the failure ID (24-digit code) for when you contact HP Customer Support. The information is also available in Test Logs on the main menu.

   If the System Test did not detect a hardware problem, continue with the Component Tests section.

Keep me posted with the test results.

Cheers:)
