I wrote this post because I figured out how to solve this error, then promptly forgot about the solution. I encountered the same error later and I spent a reaaaally long time debugging until I found the same solution again .

After I made some changes to GRUB, I found my HP laptop was booting, then instantly displaying Reset System before rebooting. I tried booting from multiple EFI files, but none of them worked. Using boot repair tools also didn't work for some reason...

Essentially, the easy fix is just to mount your EFI partition and delete \EFI\Boot\fbx64.efi (after running the grub install command with optional --uefi-secure-boot flag for secure boot). Problem solved!
