Open the System Tests menu when Windows won't start.
-
Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
-
Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
-
On the main menu, click System Tests.
The System Tests menu displays.
-
Then click Extensive Test.
-
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.
-
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:)
