Greetings @joe0853 

 

Check your PC's hardware using HP Diagnostics as follows:

Start the PC. Repeatedly tap the "ESC" key.

Select "F2". Run extensive system and component tests to confirm: a drive problem, a memory problem, or other component problem.

 

HP Diagnostics should confirm if your PC has a drive problem or a disk problem.

 

Mis-behaving memory can, sometimes, cause cascading UEFI or OS hardware errors and other unusual Windows behavior.

 

Regards
