So yesterday, I accidentally slammed my fist right next to the keyboard. A few minutes later, my laptop was running slow and when I was going to shut it down, it froze while it made a buzzing sound, so I force shut it down. When I turned it back on, the screen was black for a few seconds and went to the HP logo with "Preparing Automatic Repair" under it while the laptop was buzzing again.
It then proceeded to a blue screen that said:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code: 0xc0000185
I try to restart, but it goes back to the screen. I try to system restore, but it still goes to the screen. After 30 seconds it turns off while it makes a very quiet but high pitched sound.
I do not have a Windows 8 installation disk, as it was already installed. And I did not make a recovery disk or USB, but I did have an application that says RECOVERY, I don't think I can use it since it's in Windows.
I think the hard drive may be broken, but I don't want to lose any data that's on it. Anyways, your help is very appreciated.
