Hi guys
i tried the online chat option yesterday only to be told 5 minutes in that they don't cover the UK and i would have to wait to ring them today.
one thing she did mention was that my OS was not loading at all and was stuck in a loop and she hinted at the HP cloud recovery tool.
This i tried on another laptop to find i was able to download the recovery software and install it on my HP notebook and after about 4 hours of activity I'm glad to report all is up and running again
thank you both for your replies but not required in the end

Especially since the computer is under warranty, you have the option to contact HP Technical Support.
Submit a case: explain what is wrong and ask for help.

Reminders
- Use the serial number of the device to submit the case (do not post that information on the Community).
- Chat is not available in every region. In those areas where Chat is an option, Chat service hours are likely restricted. In the event that Chat is not available in your region: Call the number provided in the HP directory, else submit your case online (to receive phone contact information)
- HP will advise you there is a fee for phone support and / or other services when your computer / device is no longer under warranty. This is normal business practice.
- HP may tell you that certain services are not covered under warranty. This is normal business practice. Standard Warranty typically covers specific hardware issues as explained in the Warranty contract. Care Pack coverage and warranties differ by package.

Hi,
Try performing HP diagnostics at boot and see if any hardware failures are detected. You can perform the system test or hard drive test.
So, turn off the PC by holding the power button. Turn on the PC and continuously keep pressing ESC until the startup menu appears.
Press F2 to enter diagnostics and perform the test/tests.
Let me know,
David
