It's likely you either triggered it from some kind of HP software (assistance, recovery something like that) that's bundled with your computer and you should just turn it off through that OR you have a UEFI bootable device that you forgot about and is still plugged in.

It might also be a setting in your BIOS if it's been heavily customized by HP.

if you didn't go into the bios to CAUSE IT..  then it must be a windows 8 thing.. I've never seen it on Win 7

It's likely not a windows thing.

Maybe it's an HP thing?  HP website says to press f2 to go enter UEFI diagnostics..  If you haven't touched the BIOS, maybe your f2 key is stuck?  :blank:
