Hi POWERBROKER045,
 
Since you purchased the laptop recently, the laptop should be under warranty. We recommend you to get in touch with the laptop manufacturer i.e. HP for more support options.
 
Many users have fixed this issue by correcting the BIOS settings, checking for disk errors and running startup repair.
Step 1: As a basic step, we recommend you to perform startup repair and check the result.
a. Insert the Windows DVD.
b. Restart your computer.
c. Let the computer restart (boot) from the DVD.
d. If prompted, press any key to continue.
e. When you reach the Install Windows screen, select your preferences in the Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method boxes, and then click Next.
f. Do not click Install now. Instead, click Repair your computer. The System Recovery Options dialog box appears.
g. Make sure the correct operating system is selected, and then click Next.
h. After you click Next, the System Recovery Options menu appears.
i. Click Startup repair. Once the startup repair completes, click Finish to restart the computer.
j. Remove the DVD and restart the computer to see if the system starts fine.
 
 
Step 2: Follow the same steps to start the computer to the Windows Recovery Environment and check for disk errors by selecting the Command Prompt. On the prompt type chkdsk /f and hit enter.
 
Step 3: If the issue still persists, check if the computer starts in safe mode.
Regards,
Syed - Microsoft Support.
