Hi @Siddyy_7,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP laptop is stuck in a loop with a BIOS restart and beeping sounds, it indicates a potential hardware or firmware issue. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue.
-
Power Cycle:
- Turn off the laptop completely.
- Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery (if possible).
- Hold down the power button for about 15-20 seconds to discharge any residual power.
- Reconnect the battery and power adapter.
- Turn on the laptop and check if the issue persists.
-
Reset BIOS/UEFI:
- To reset the BIOS/UEFI, you may need to access it. Try pressing the appropriate key during the startup process. Common keys are Esc, F2, F10, or Del. Refer to your laptop's manual for the specific key.
- Once in the BIOS/UEFI, look for an option to reset to default settings or load optimized defaults. This option might be located in the Exit or Advanced tab.
- Save changes and exit the BIOS.
-
Check for Hardware Issues:
- Beeping sounds during startup are often associated with hardware problems. The pattern of beeps can provide information about the issue. Refer to your laptop's manual or the HP website to interpret the beep codes.
- If your laptop is under warranty, it's advisable to contact HP support for assistance.
-
Boot from External Media:
- Create a bootable USB drive with a Linux distribution or a diagnostic tool.
- Insert the USB drive into your laptop.
- Try booting from the USB drive to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is with the laptop's internal components or the operating system.
-
Update BIOS/UEFI:
- If you can access the BIOS/UEFI, check if there is a newer version available on the HP website.
- If an update is available, follow the manufacturer's instructions to update the BIOS.
-
Perform a System Restore:
- If you have access to advanced startup options, try performing a system restore to revert your system to a previous working state.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
