HP computer does not boot
My computer right now will not boot up. Specifically, it will reach the part where the flag begins to form on the loading screen and just as the red and green dots touch, the computer will restart and begin the process again. I cannot boot in any safe mode.
I have the option to access the recovery console which I did. In I have tried startup repair and it told me it was unable to automatically fix my problem. It specified error 0x3712 and indicated that a driver or hardware change could cause this problem. The error is startup repair is offline. Next, I ran chkdsk /r on that partition and it reported no errors. Then, I tried to run sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\windows but it returns "Windows Resource protection could not perform the requested operation.".
Please help as I am unsure what to do now. I can supply more information if needed.
