Hi: I received the 3F0 boot device not found error which displayed on a blue screen actually it wasn’t really a black screen. I did the hard drive test and everything seemed to be okay and I rebooted and the computer is now working like normal. Do I need to be further concerned is there anything further I should be doing?

Hi,
This could have been a transient event.
Normally this error will confirm permanence when you check hardware.
TE01-0034 specs show a 512 GB NVME SSD. This device connects directly to the motherboard. No cables, so common points of failure are the device or the motherboard socket. Other causes are possible. Additional troubleshooting steps would be required if this error continues to occur.
Keep your eye on this.
Regards

Hi,
Your PC does not use Intel Optane.
You have also performed HP Diagnostics at boot. the PC is working okay now. Keep an eye on this.
I don't know how Legacy boot figures into your problem.
