Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
As I understand
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
Did you perform a hard reset to release excessive static from the PC?
For easier and quicker, future interactions, could you include the product number and the OS used on the PC?
While you respond to that, I have a few steps that should help,
Some HP Notebook PCs come with two sticks of memory and have two memory slots. If you experience a black screen or blue screen with HP logo, the problem could be with one of the sticks of memory or with one of the memory slots.
To determine what is causing the failure, try to isolate the problem by:
-
Performing a memory self-test
-
Checking for loose memory modules
-
Testing the memory modules
-
Testing the memory slots

Yes I have tried hard reset and there was no change. The screen is black with HP logo and loading icon. Sometimes says running check.
The product number is 1DM46EAR#ABU.
