  1. Computer refuses to boot up


    Last night I was working on homework whenever my HP laptop decided it needed to restart itself out of the blue. When it restarted and tried to updat, the update failed and then it stuck me in the automatic repair loop. I HAVE to get my work done before Tuesday or I’ll drop a whole letter grade in one of my classes, but I don’t have a windows disc or anything to help reboot. I’ve tried everything I can to do it without the disc but this dumb computer just wont cooperate. Someone please help!
