Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,  I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

  1. Turn off the computer.

  2. Disconnect all connected devices and cables such as Personal Media Drives, USB drives, printers, and faxes. Remove media from internal drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware.

    Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, or power cord.

  3. Turn on the computer and repeatedly press the F11 key about once every second until the Choose and option screen is displayed, and then continue.

  4. On the Choose an Option screen, click Troubleshoot.

    Choose an option with Troubleshoot selected

  5. On the Troubleshoot screen, click Recovery Manager.

    Troubleshoot screen with Recovery Manager selected

  6. Under Help, click System Recovery.

    Recovery Manager with Help and System Recovery selected

  7. When Recovery Manager prompts you to back up your files, select a backup option:

    NOTE: Depending on the version of Windows, the following screens might appear slightly different.

    Follow the instructions to backup your files and recover the system.

  8. The Welcome to HP Recovery Manager screen is displayed. Read the on-screen information, and then disconnect any connected devices and cables, such as Personal Media Drives, USB drives, printers, and faxes.

  9. Remove media from internal drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware.

    Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, or power cord.

  10. Click Next to continue.

    HP Recovery Manager welcome screen

    HP Recovery Manager prepares the computer for recovery.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
