I have an HP laptop and I'm facing a problem. When I try to turn it on, it crashes, and I notice that the Caps Lock light is blinking. I'm not sure what this means or how to troubleshoot the issue. Can anyone suggest what I should do to fix this?

It sounds like your laptop might be indicating a hardware issue with that Caps Lock blink. Typically, a pattern of flashes can mean something is wrong, like a RAM or motherboard issue. You could try a power reset: unplug it, take out the battery if possible, hold down the power button for about 15 seconds, then plug it back in and see if it starts normally.
That's a good point. I had a similar issue and doing a hard reset helped. If that doesn’t work, checking the RAM might be the next step.
