So my pavilion laptop has been restarting now for almost 3 days!! I can’t exit to anything and It’s driving me insane. It keeps saying restarting and has the spinning wheel of death under it. Please someone help me bc I need it to just start and work already for my business. It’s been doing this for almost 3 days. Very frustrating
