Hii,

This alert Caps and RAM problem I recommend contacting HP to call Support as it is a possible hardware problem.

You can try to do Power Reset

Turn off the laptop, unplug the power adapter, and disconnect all external devices. Press and hold the power button for 15 to 30 seconds, then reconnect the power and try turning it back on.

While this is not a Microsoft website, it is the official site of [HP].
