Microsoft Windows 11

brand new HP Essential laptop will no longer turn on. It was working fine for a couple of days. Now when I turn it on I get a black screen that flashes the following message every 1-2 minutes:

"The System BIOS Pending Image is being cleared. Do not shutdown or remove power from your computer during the clear.  The clear will take a few minutes to complete."

 

It has been flashing this message since yesterday afternoon, continuing this morning.  I need this laptop for work today!
