@Oikonomko, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I'm sorry to hear you're encountering a blue screen with the message "We ran into a problem" on your HP Laptop. This is commonly referred to as a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and can be caused by hardware or software issues.
Let’s go through some steps to help resolve this:
Note the Stop Code
When the blue screen appears, it usually includes a Stop Code (e.g., CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, etc.). If you can, please note this code, it helps identify the root cause.
Boot into Safe Mode
If your laptop restarts repeatedly, try booting into Safe Mode:
- Turn off the laptop.
- Turn it on and immediately press the F11 key repeatedly until the Recovery Menu appears.
- Select Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
- Press 4 or F4 to boot into Safe Mode.
Run HP Hardware Diagnostics
Check for hardware issues using HP’s built-in diagnostics:
- Turn off the laptop.
- Turn it on and immediately press Esc, then F2 to open HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
- Run the System Tests (especially the Memory and Hard Drive tests).
Perform System Restore
If the issue started recently, a System Restore can revert your system to a previous working state:
- Boot into Safe Mode (as above).
- Go to Control Panel > Recovery > Open System Restore.
- Follow the prompts to restore to a previous point.
Update Drivers and Windows
Outdated drivers or Windows updates can cause BSODs:
- In Safe Mode, open Device Manager and check for any devices with a yellow warning.
- Visit HP Support page to download the latest drivers for your model.
- Also, run Windows Update from Settings > Update & Security.
Reset the PC (if needed)
If none of the above steps work, consider resetting Windows:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC.
- Choose Keep my files to preserve your data.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
