Welcome to HP Forums,  

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

 

I see that your experiencing issue with the windows not booting up after PSU upgrade, I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Have you tried with old PSU? If your pc works fine with the old one and doesn't with the new one, clearly is a problem with the new one.

While you respond to that, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:

Let's perform bios default and check:

Shutdown the computer.  

  • Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears.  
  • Press F10 once for BIOS.  
  • Press F9 for BIOS defaults.  
  • Press F10 to save and exit.

Next updating bios: 

  1. Search Windows for 'bitlocker', and then click Manage BitLocker in the results.

  2. Click Suspend protection, and then click Yes to suspend protection.

Step 2: Get the computer product number, ROM Family SSID, and current BIOS version

To find the correct BIOS update, obtain the computer product number, the motherboard or system board ID (referred to as the 'ROM Family SSID' in the BIOS update name), and the BIOS version.

  1. Press and hold the Ctrl and Alt keys, and then press the S key to open the utility.

    HP System Information window

  2. Write down the Product Number, Motherboard ID, and BIOS version number.

Step 3: Install the BIOS update

Download and install the correct BIOS update for your computer from the HP Customer Support website.

  1. Go to HP Software & Driver Downloads, and then enter your computer product number.

    NOTE: If you upgraded to a new Windows version, in the Selected operating system pane, click Change, select the original operating system that came with your computer, and then click Change.

    Change your computer operating system

  2. Look through the available software for BIOS, click it, and then confirm it is a higher version number and it is for your processor type.

    • If the update is correct, click Download. Follow the on-screen instructions to save the file to your computer. Do not select the option to Run the file.

    • If the update is not correct, view the details of other available BIOS updates. If there are no other updates, the computer does not require a BIOS update.

    • If BIOS is not in the list of available software, an update is currently unavailable.

  3. Close any open applications.

  4. Temporarily disable your antivirus software. Search Windows for 'security', open the Security and Maintenance settings, and then click Security to access virus protection settings.

  5. Browse to the folder or desktop where you saved the downloaded BIOS update file.

  6. Find the file name (example: sp12345.exe), and then double-click it to start the installation.

       CAUTION: Do not shut down or restart the computer until the update process completes.
  7. Follow any on-screen instructions, and then restart the computer when prompted to complete the update.

  8. If Bitlocker was suspended, search Windows for 'bitlocker', and then click Resume Protection.

  9. Re-enable your antivirus software.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
