As of yesterday morning the machine would not boot, automatic repair failed and there was a blue screen and a StopCode - Nsfs.sys. The machine then made two louds beeps followed by two short beeps.
It will not reboot from a system image.
F11 doesn't run - cannot access anything or than diagnostics. Ran full diagnostics - no faults. Reflashed the BIOS - no improvement. Anythoughts on what to try next?

@RaySWSc Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you are getting page Fault in Nonpaged Area Ntfs.sys message.
In that case, please perform the hard reset and check.
Hard Reset:
1) Shutdown the computer.
2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected.
3) Remove the Battery. ( not for Built-in Battery computer )
4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds.
5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer if it's a (removable battery)
6) Try to turn on the computer and check, If the issue persists continue next step
Set BIOS default and restart:
- Restart your notebook.
- During startup, press F10 repeatedly until the BIOS menu is displayed.
- Once the BIOS menu is displayed, press F9 to restore factory defaults.
- Select Yes to confirm.
- Press F10 to save changes and exit.
- Select Yes to confirm.
- The computer restarts using the default settings.
If the issue still persists, you have to perform the recovery.

Thank you Praveen for your reply. I had already tried your suggestions - and much more. Thumbs up to HP Support who revisited most of the tests that I had carried out - including a hard reset. The conclusion is that the TWO year old machine is bust - the hard drive would appear to have failed. The machine has set off to be repaired.
