This HP has been a royal pain. I had a problem 2 years ago with it freezing, but I could always reboot. I changed one of the RAM cards and it seemed to go away. Last week I picked it up by the top left corner and the screen froze. I tried to reboot and it kept trying to do auto repair. I tried the diagnostic repair built in but nothing came up. I attached two photos.
Today I tried running windows to go on a stick and it would not load. I tried to to a install repair and got the same result as trying to reboot right after the freeze. I am running out of ideas, which are not much since a am pretty much a novice at pc repair. I am about ready to heave it and buy another refurbished laptop and it will not be an HP. I have an old Lenovo T520 running Linux Mint and works just fine. The down side is all of my software in Windows.
I guess I cannot post photos.
