I don't know why everyone seems to think a reset fixes everything -- because it often only makes matters worse.

 

The restart message you were getting repeatedly is most likely due to a failed Windows Update, as the recent ones have been causing that, and that could have been fixed -- but your forcing a reset trashed that.

 

Additionally, when resets start OK but hang later, that is nearly always an indication of a failing drive -- which is a hardware issue -- which a reset does nothing to fix.

 

If your PC is new enough to support UEFI, you can use these steps to test the hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024

If not, to check the drive you have to follow these steps:
1) Press Esc key repeatedly, several times a second, while rebooting the laptop. Do NOT hold the key down, just press it over and over.
2) Eventually, you will see an HP Startup Menu
3) Press the Function key for testing the hard drive (usually F2) and let it run.
