Can't open system recovery?

Hi TyGuy96, welcome to 7F! :)

Can you restart your mini and while that's happening, reboot into "Last Known Good Configuration"?

See:Advanced Boot Options Usually you need to tap the F8 button while it's rebooting, but your system maybe different.

You may need Here's How Step #3 if you only have the one operating system on the mini. Once you make the selection let your mini reboot, then see how its reacting.

What version of Mini 210 is this, a 1040nr?

Have you tried getting to system recovery this way?How to Perform an HP System Recovery | HP® Support

I have the hp mini 210-1071CA.
When I try that recovery method, after I press F11 it takes me to the screen I mentioned in option 2.

Edit: Bump

• This your machine? Product Specifications HP Mini 210-1071CA PC | HP® Support
• What version of 7 is on it?
• Does it have a solid state drive (SSD)?

From: Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP) HP Mini 210-1071CA PC | HP® Support Let's try the first step, the hard reset.

If you'd like a more visual approach: Computer Does Not Start Up or Boot Properly - HP Support Center
Still, stay with the hard reset, but if you see any other steps that fit your situation please try them.

This could be a power problem, how long has it been since you started the mini last? You might have to run it strictly on AC power for a while before you depend on the battery.

Memory modules are the ram sticks in your mini, did you see the explanation below the "beep codes"?

Check for loose connections and test the memory

Blink codes are often displayed after a user adds memory to the computer but does not seat the module properly. The LEDs may also blink error codes if a hardware component is loose because the computer was dropped or jarred. Some HP Notebook PCs come with one stick of memory but have two memory slots. The problem could be that the stick of memory or one of the memory slots has a bad connection.

The memory module compartment on most notebooks is located on the bottom of the case. The exact position varies by model. However, on some models, the memory compartment is under the keyboard. See your User Guide for the exact location of memory modules on your notebook.

NOTE: Removing and reseating memory modules requires the use of tools and the partial disassembly of the computer. If you do not feel comfortable doing this work yourself, take the computer to an authorized retailer for technical service.

Even if you didn't fool with the "memory", pull them out and re-seat them.
It doesn't look that hard, and shouldn't need "special tools" just pop the little door, pull them out make sure there is no corrosion and pop them back in.

Just pay attention to how they came out.

   Note

You said you're not getting any errors?? What is this reference to BSOD's, Is it a true BSOD blue or black screen or just a flash?

Can you get a screenshot of what it is and post it? Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums
