Boot up issues

[Mevans8806]

I'm having issues and an concerned on what to do about it. My computer won't boot up passed the HP screen. It won't even get to the point I can select diagnostics screen. About 1 in 20 boots it will get passed it and then ask me to choose a keyboard language but will not let me select anything. What is going on? I was thinking my hard drive is corrupt but I don't want to go get a hard drive and have it be something else. Please help.

As I understand the computer is powering on, however, doesn't have a display on the screen anymore,

Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,

Please attempt the below steps:

Perform a Hard Reset on the PC:

Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the amount of power stored in hardware components. Decreasing stored power is sometimes referred to as a "Hard Reset." Use the following steps to perform a hard reset on a computer:

1. Turn off the computer completely; disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.

2. With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.

3. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.

Thanks for the effort. The hard reset did not work. It's still gets top the HP screen that you should be able to hit setup or diagnostics and it freezes
