Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
-
Start the computer.
-
Use one of the following methods to enter the BIOS Setup utility:
-
If your computer was built in 2006 or later (Windows Vista or later), immediately press the F10 key. You might need to press the key repeatedly, about once every second, until a BIOS Setup utility screen opens.
-
If your computer was built before 2006 (Windows XP or earlier), press the F1 key . You might need to press the key repeatedly, about once every second, until a BIOS Setup utility screen opens.
-
-
Use the arrow keys to select a recognized hard disk drive device in the list and press Enter.
-
Select SMART Support and press Enter.
-
Select one of the following hard disk drive device tests:
-
SMART Status Check: Checks the status of the hard disk drive SMART status. Displays whether SMART support is enabled or disabled.
-
SMART Short Self-Test: Runs a short self-test on the hard disk drive.
-
SMART Extended Self-Test: Runs an Extended self-test on the hard disk drive. This may take some time.
-
-
Press Enter to start the test.
-
The test begins and the test status displays.
-
Press Esc when the test is complete.
CAUTION: If the test fails, copy the data on the hard disk drive and replace the hard disk drive.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
