HP Pavilion x360 won't boot up

[Swampfox165]

After several months of inactivity, the HP Pavilion x360 notebook won't boot up. When turning on, all I get is a blue screen. If I hit a funtion key, I'll get a brief description of the key in the lower left hand side of the screen which remains there but nothing else happens. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem. The laptop is virtually brand new.

Following your instructions, after the bios update ran, it indicated that the battery was dead when doing the systems test. I've orfered a new battery confident that it will rersolve my problem.
