Hey,
I've accidentally closed my laptop via the power button. After, when I tried to restart it, It loops. When it reaches to the windows loading files, when the desktop should appear it restarts. I tried recovery mode and some mode but it restarts with them too. I tried to run some tests with the built in bios software given by HP to check my parts. All OK but hard disk. It fails. Failure ID RU63PK-000706-MFKR4K-60WS03

I would also like to mention that Ubuntu is running well.
What should I do?

System specs:
Compaq Presario Notebook
Intel pentium inside CPU
4gb ram
500 gb hdd

What I would suggest is that you press the F8 key and let it disable on automatic restart. Then jot down the message if there is any. If that doesn't help, press F8 again and select Safe Mode and try the startup repair (I think that's what it's called). Boot into that and report back.
