  1. Factory reset


    The other day i opened my conputer and it was running really really slow and my antivirus wasn’t working so i thought i was a virus because i had just dowloaded a game.

    so i decide to factory reset my computer and everything is going normal i leave my computer alone. But when i come back it keeps showing a blank screen then the HP symbol and then the little circle pops up once it loads for about 3 seconds and the loading pauses then another blank screen pops up and then it repeats the same thing


    and it hasn’t stop for a bout a hour i’ve tried turning it on and off clicking F2, ctrl alt delete, but nothing has worked

    :)
