Perform Hard Drive Tests

Select Hard Drive Test: In the Symptom Tests menu, select Hard disk/SSD drive issue, and then press enter. If more than one drive is present, select Test All Hard Drives.
 

Reinstall Windows

Reinstall Windows through the Windows Recovery Environment (f11) or using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool. After reinstalling Windows, run Windows Update to update all software, firmware, and drivers.
 

I hope this will help.

 

Take care and have a good day.
