When turning on, screen flashes for a second then turns off immediately

[Lyssalou2771]

My computer shut off last night during a zoom call, it was plugged in with mostly full battery. It almost resembled an update restart. When I went to turn it back on, it resumed start up but then when i clicked on a web browser, it turned back off completely. 

this morning i have been trying to turn it on, and I have to hold the power button down to get it to respond-the keyboard light button is illuminated, but the screen will flash a start up screen then turn off immediately. Laptop is plugged in

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:  

Hard Reset: Follow steps from the link: https://hp.care/2GnkMa8. (do not skip any troubleshooting steps even if you feel steps are repeating)

BIOS default: 

1. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
2. Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
3. On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
4. Press F10 to Save and Exit.
5. Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
6. Follow the prompts to restart your computer. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
