    Having to reinstall Windows 10 about every 1-2 months?

    I upgraded my laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 via the free upgrade over this past summer when it first became available. I love using Windows 10, but have a problem I can't seem to solve.

    Windows seems to run very smoothly and work great most of the time, but every so often I run into an issue where after either turning the computer on or waking it from sleep mode, it starts taking forever to load/boot up. The screen is black for about 20+
    minutes, and then finally it has the "HP" logo come up and then another 15-20 minutes later, it finally loads to the Windows log in screen. This isn't a huge problem, just really frustrating and time consuming. But then after a few times, the computer will
    completely refuse to load up Windows. It either stays on the black screen or the "HP" loading screen. The first time this happened, back in August 2015, I went into the system recovery menu through the F11 key, and tried restarting and refreshing and etc.
    Each method failed. I could not get Windows 10 to run and could not get back to Windows 8 or anything. Finally I tried Googling the problem from another PC, and found Windows 10 installation/recovery media which I then downloaded and put on a USB drive. This
    allowed me to reinstall Windows 10 onto my laptop and things seemed to be going fine for about a month before I ran into the same issue again. After again trying the usual methods to repair the computer and having those fail again, I once again reinstalled
    Windows 10 using the USB drive. Things seemed to be running great, again. Then today, I ran into the same problem AGAIN and am currently attempting another reinstallation of Windows. What is going on, why does this keep happening to my laptop?
