Hi,
A couple of days ago, my HP Pavilion g7-2233cl laptop, running Windows 8, started looping at startup. I shot a brief video showing a few loops and posted it on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcXoueZdVwo&feature=youtu.be
Because of the looping, I am unable to input any commands through my keyboard or mouse once the looping starts. So, for example, I cannot get to Control Panel.
I was, however, able to click on Escape during a startup and run a hardware diagnostic. No hardware problems were found.
Sometimes, after looping for quite a while, the computer freezes up. It stops looping but then won't let me do anything else either.
This problem does NOT seem the same as the "Automatic Repair" issue I have seen described on YouTube.
By the way, I also have Windows 8 running on a desktop computer, if that will help with solving my problem.
I'm new to Windows 8, so any suggestions will be greatly welcomed.
Thanks,
Bill
