I downloaded something then it was messing up my CP. Everything was slow and then I decided to restart my computer (erasing stuff completely and restarting windows 8) thinking it would restore everything. It started doing it's thing then my little sister accidentally closed it. I put HP automatic repair. Then I closed my laptop to eat. Opened it and says, "Preparing Automatic Repair." Went black then it's says "Diagnosing your PC" then it went black, and it kept doing this on and on about 2 hours now and I'm getting frustrated. What should I do?
My Windows 8 is stuck on an infinite loop

Some of your system files must have got corrupt. It's diagnosing and in the end,its not arriving at a solution or fixing your PC,right? So you could check if restoring your PC to an older time helps fix things. You know how to restore I hope. If it doesn't,you'd need to format your drive and re-install windows.
Sorry I don't, a thousand pardons but The laptop is doing it over and over again that I can't stop the loop nor do anything about it. I just don't know what to do. If there is method to get out of it, that would be nice. Thank you for answering, I really appreciate it.

Okay,thinking that you have only one OS installed on your HDD,I'm saying this.
Press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
In the appeared advanced startup options,there's something called Repair your computer.Select that. If the tools are already installed to our HDD,it would work fine. Otherwise,you'll need a Windows OS Disc.It will diagnose your problems and try to solve them automatically,and will restart once it is done.This should solve the problem if it's something related to your corrupt OS files.
Try this and keep in touch.

Will this work on any brand that has windows 8? I'm using hp. Neither the things I press in the laptop won't response except the power button. I also tried pressing F8 but it won't work. Maybe my laptop is really broken. When its says "Diagnosing PC" then it show a text. I couldn't read it because it went to fast. Then it like went blank an says "Preparing Automatic Repair",it does that over and over again like non-stop.

Well,I thought it would work for Windows 8 as well.Sorry my mistake,since it turns out that it won't. So to do this,you'll need a windows installation media,like Windows 8 DVD or Bootable USB with Windows 8 OS in it. So,boot with any one of these,and from the Windows Setup screen, tap or click on Next. Then on the next window,you'll see Repair Your Computer at the bottom of the window. Click on that and the advanced startup options will start. Try this out.
Then you could troubleshoot the problem,and either restore or refresh your PC. Refreshing won't delete your files,personal settings or data. It just in a way,re-installs Windows. So,you could do that.

Well,you can make your USB bootable and boot with it,a long as you have an image of the Operating system. So you could boot with the USB,and troubleshoot the issues,or even repair and fix your PC's problems.Give it a try.But you'll need to make the USB bootable which includes a series of steps and doing some work with DOS.

Had same problem, opened up BIOS configuration.
In there I saw that "Windows boot manager" was my primary boot option.
Changed it to my primary hard drive.
Started working.
