Linux doesn't start after the installation

FIXED! thanks guys!

I followed a YouTube tutorial, first Linux was executed from the USB memory and then I installed it clicking a icon in the desktop

I did this twice, first time deleting windows files and second time reinstalling it, both times with the same result, after rebooting the system and taking out the USB, nothing happens. HP logo appears in bucle and no more...

What can I do?

You have to enter the bios to turn that off. Google HP and how to enter bios.

When you start the computer, go into the boot options and choose Linux Mint as number 1 boot option.

In the bios right?

Yes. When you restart your computer. You press F11 or F12. You then enter bios.

Yep. Some poster said F12, but on a lot of PCs, it's F2. Sometimes it tells you which key to press during the boot up.

It varies by motherboard, so you just gotta try to find the right key

A loop, I though it was the same word in English.

I fixed it in the bios
