So yesterday as I was trying to access my hp pavilion g6 when I got a blue error screen with 'Driver power state failure'. I've since performed a hard reset, nothing occurred, but also I've tried installing the windows 10 installation disk and when I try to reset my pc (it's relatively new and has had problems already so I didn't have much on it) it stays on the reset this pc- getting things ready screen. I've tried 5 times to wait it out, to the point I waited almost an hour and it is still on this screen. I can't access the actual pc due to the error so I have no clue what to do. Any tips? Also, I'm trying to use f8 to get into safe mode and it isn't working, how can I access it if I can't even get into the log in screen

After a broken reset, I would suggest a fresh install
change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer

If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
