Hello;
6 months ago I get an HP envy 15 «gaming» with very nice specs, half price because of an ugly Star Wars cover (650 instead of 1500€.....). I swaped the original HDD (1TB) to my SSD previously installed for 5 years on an Asus.
The Envy immediatly showed random boots, with only 1 succesfull startup over 20.
The PC remained blackscreened, after 5 minutes would display a red message «boot fail».
Only hard reset would allow it to start on the SSD.
Solution
Update to the very last BIOS firmware, restart the PC
Enter the BIOS menu [F10]
go to the tab «boot»
go to the menu «boot options»
change the value of the first parameter, «POST hotkey delay (sec)» to anything else than «0»
Hit [F10] to save and restart the computer
Admire.
This solution has been working for 2 months for me, reading forums I can see i'm not the only one that had this trouble.
This should work on the Envy 15 family.
