Hi @Shcimble,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding boot-up issues for the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Power Reset:

• Disconnect all external devices (USBs, external monitors, etc.).
• Turn off the laptop and unplug the power adapter.
• Remove the battery if it's removable.
• Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds to discharge any residual electricity.
• Reconnect the battery and power adapter, and then try to start the laptop.

Check RAM:

• Try reseating the RAM modules. If you have multiple sticks, try booting with one at a time to see if one of them might be faulty.
• Ensure the RAM is correctly seated in its slot.

Inspect Battery and Power Adapter:

• Make sure the power adapter is working correctly. If possible, test with another compatible adapter.
• If your laptop has a removable battery, check if it is holding a charge properly.

Internal Connections:

• Check internal connections such as the hard drive and SSD to ensure they are securely connected.
• This might require you to open the back panel of the laptop, so proceed with caution.

BIOS Reset:

• If accessible, enter the BIOS settings upon bootup by pressing the designated key (often F10 or ESC).
• Reset BIOS settings to default and save changes.

Check for Error Codes:

• Pay attention to any beep codes or indicator lights, as they can provide insight into what's failing during the boot process.

Hardware Diagnosis:

• If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there may be a hardware failure. Contact HP support for further assistance or consider professional diagnostic services.

I hope this helps.
