Hi,

Try starting the laptop in safe mode (see Method #2) and check if it does get into safe mode OK or if not then try a Startup Repair.

If it gets into safe mode OK then most likely there is a driver problem as only generic Windows drivers are loaded in safe mode and not drivers specific to the hardware in the laptop.

What is the full model number of the laptop as shown on the information label on the bottom of the laptop?

If you have to try a Startup repair, do not select the Reset this PC option because if you select the wrong option after this you can erase all your data as Windows will be reinstalled.
