    Hi, how was this issue solved? I am having the same issue. PC stuck at startup, same message, for more than 8 hours (left it overnight).

    Press & hold power button till machine shuts off. Then remove the charger. Gently insert a paper clip in the reset pinhole on the bottom of machine for about 10 seconds. Let machine rest for 15mins. Then plug charger back in. Then turn the machine back on. Jack E/NJ
    @iamaashish1994 did you try this work around orIor tried other things before you had to change your HDD. Sadly, I can't have my HDD checked now due to the pandemic.

    @bonbon1122 List for me the steps you have taken so far. Can you access the BIOS at boot? Can you boot from a different image, such as a Windows install flash drive? If you can get into the diagnostic environment you can do some more extensive disk checking.
