hello,
Try booting up in safe mode! If it boots up it is a hardware problem, if it doesn’t boot up then it is your hdd gone faulty!

Sounds like you need to take it back to the store where you got it and have them fix it. You need the disks to fix the boot problem. If you cant find them then your going to have to pay for them. Go to HP and order the restore disks for your make and model. You should get them in about a week. Hope this helps :-)
