Product: Unknown HP Pavilion
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

When i went to boot up my laptop today, I got this error: selected boot image did not authenticate. Press enter to continue. Obviously pressing enter shuts it off. 

Trying to open recovery mode with F11 just led to the same screen with constant beeping and no input response. I cannot open safemode either. 

Is this laptop toast?

I did that already. All indications seem to mean the hard drive is fried, and I need a new computer. Hated this thing anyway.
