@JL36 If the hardware tests have passed, you may want to move on to step 4, reseating of your hard drive, followed by Step 5, Performing a system recovery,
If you've done that and yet the issue persists, you'll need to make use of the HP Recovery media, if you don't have one, order a recovery media: Click here for steps.

Hello! I rebooted the laptop with the recovery media. Now it seemed to have installed. However the problem now is after you reboot with the recovery media is supposed to restart and when it does it stays in the hp black screen in a loop.

@JL36 It looks like the device may need advanced support to install the fresh OS on it, and for that I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options, follow the below steps to get started:
1) Click on this link - http://www.hp.com/contacthp/
2) Click on Sign-in or select the product using the below step:
3) Enter the serial of your device.
4) Select the country from the drop-down.
5) Click on "Show Options".
Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself!
Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from,
here's how private messages work: Click here for details.
If you wish to thank me for my efforts, you could click on "Accept as solution" on my post as the solution should help others too.
