Ubuntu LTS

I have laptop HP Elitebook 840 G2. I reinstall Ubuntu 24.04 LTS OS (official website) via bootable USB successfully (at least I think). After installation finished, it asked me to plug out USB and hit Enter to restart laptop. When laptop is restarted or turned on it show normal image at the start (enter BIOS,etc.), then it blinks 2-3 times and show error 3F0.

It is strange that Hard Drive was working normally just before reinstalling. I tried different version of Ubuntu, UEFI, Legacy, Win10. I even tried different Hard Drive which had working Win XP before reinstalling (checked on exactly that laptop) but same results. I check connections to HDD inside laptop, everything looks good. Nothing was touched, no any damage to laptop or similar. I also tried updating BIOS but it didn't helped.

 

Anyone faced same or similar issue?

Thanks in advance
