As of yesterday, I am getting the blue error screen when attempting to turn on HP laptop

What can I do since I cannot get to the home screen for a system restore?

I won't be taking it for repairs, it's been repaired several times for multiple issues.

Is there a "stopcode" shown on the blue screen? It would look like "0x" followed by a combination of 8 digits or letters.

Knowing that might help answer the question.

@iamnikki That indicates corruption of the Boot Configuration Data.

Try hitting F8 repeatedly when you turn the machine on and see if you can get to the "Repair Your Computer" screen. Let me know what happens.

@iamnikki can you start up a Command Prompt from there?

@iamnikki I see @Vivaci is helping you. I expect you're in good hands.
