Hi @Aircare 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

This error can be caused by two things:

 

1. A failing system drive,

2. Corrupt Windows Boot Manager.

 

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

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

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

 

Let the Forum know how it goes.

 

I'm waiting to see how the hardware tests go. Fixing a corrupt boot loader can be a PITA.

 

Regards
