So I’ll just start from the beginning I own a ryzen Hp laptop which I used and had windows on a while back I had to get it fixed (because I needed a new hard drive)When my friend gave me the laptop back it had Linux on he said he asked me what I wanted on it (Linux or Windows)and I said idc (false)but that’s besides the point so after a conversation he said he would get windows back for me so after a week he gives me my pc gives me th instructions to boot it (Press f8 andr choose)(OS Boot Manger (UEFI) -Windows Boot Manger (MTFDDAV256TBN-1AR15ABHA) now I did that but for whatever when ever I do my of just automatically powers off then turns back on and I don’t know how to solve this
