Factory reset but now not working

[bmcquillan]

The laptop has been running slow due to space issues. I decided to remove everything that was unnecessary and did a disk clean up to remove temporary files, etc,. I continually had to do this so decided to do a factory reset. The laptop won't work now it just churns for a few minutes and the the hp logo appears for a few seconds and it seems to switch off and it just goes round and round. I only bought this laptop in November and can't do anything with it now.

I have completed the form as requested. I think I actually did this a week ago before posting on this forum. There are no agents to chat on a Sundy and I am unavailable during the open times as I am at work. 

The laptop is stll doing the same as last week and churns and churns with the HP logo coming up periodically. Following the reset videos hasn't achieved anything unfortunately. What do I do next? I have spent on this laptop but can no longer use it.
