I tried to log into my hp15 and it completely cut off. When I turned it back on the screen just says selected boot image did not authenticate. Press enter to continue. When I press enter my laptop just shuts off again. Please help me fix it. I need it for school.

Yup! - This worked like a charm.  F9 = Boot Menu, F10 = BIOS - You're going to want to go to the bios... switch Legacy to Enabled.. and SAVE and QUIT - When the screen says.... "XXXX + ENTER" This is where you have to use the number pad.  Typing the numbers on the top of the keyboard doesn't work.
