Flash of screen keeps trying to load and then Flashs white repeating

Hi @caseyteska36918

Some options to check if it's a corrupted boot partition on the HDD or if the HDD is OK or not.

Insert a Windows Recovery USB flashdrive (16GB Win10 - 32GB Win11) and boot into the Windows Recovery Environment menus Don't forget to make the USB as the 1st boot option in BIOS. You can create a recovery drive from any known working Windows 10 or 11 PC In the host PC go to Control panel > Recovery > Create a recovery disc and follow the prompts

When in the WRE menu select Troubleshoot > Advanced> Startup repair and follow the prompts

You could also try running a chdsk command using it to see if the HDD is OK or not.

In the recovery menus select Troubleshoot > Advanced> Command Prompt.

When in the command window type chkdsk C: /f (assuming the C: is the drive letter of the HDD) and check the results

Alternatively if you feel up to it you could try running a "live" version of a Linux Lite OS e.g. Ubuntu Lite from a USB flashdrive (you don't install it, you just run it from the USB. It's like a preview to see if you like it before installing it) and then use it to check if the laptop's HDD is OK. Don't forget to make the USB as the 1st boot option in BIOS

Once it's up and running, open a Terminal window in Linux and type the following:

sudo lsblk - this will show the name of the HDD as either sda or sdb if it is being detected of course, although you can check this in BIOS as well

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda - Note : replace sda with the drive letter of the HDD. This is a full health report of the HDD. See what results you get
