Hi @sanjanasp,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your laptop is stuck in a boot loop. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue.
Hard Reset
- Disconnect all peripherals (USB devices, external drives, etc.).
- Unplug the power adapter and remove the battery (if removable).
- Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
- Reinsert the battery (if applicable) and reconnect the power adapter.
- Try turning on the laptop again.
Boot into Safe Mode
- Turn on the laptop and immediately start pressing the F8 key repeatedly until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears.
- If you see the menu, select Safe Mode and press Enter.
- If your laptop boots into Safe Mode, you may be able to troubleshoot further from there.
Use Recovery Options
- If you can access the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE):
- Turn on your laptop and, as soon as you see the HP logo, press and hold the Power button to force a shutdown.
- Repeat this process 2-3 times until you see the Preparing Automatic Repair message.
- Once in WinRE, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair.
System Restore
- If Startup Repair doesn’t work, you can try a System Restore from the Advanced options in WinRE. This will revert your laptop to a previous state before the reset attempt.
Reset the Laptop Again
- If all else fails, you might consider trying to reset the laptop again using the recovery options, but be aware this may result in data loss.
Check Hardware
- If your laptop is still not starting, there may be a hardware issue. This could involve checking the RAM or hard drive connections.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
