Hi @Lucas2256,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thank you for sharing the image. The message displayed on your screen indicates a System Fan (90B) error. This means the laptop has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly.
Since the cooling system is essential for preventing overheating, I recommend addressing this issue before continuing to use the laptop.
Please try the following steps:
Shut down the laptop:
Turn it off and disconnect the AC adapter and any external devices.
Check the air vents:
Make sure the ventilation openings are not blocked by dust or other obstructions.
Allow the laptop to cool:
Leave it powered off for a few minutes before starting it again.
Check the fan:
When you power it on, listen for unusual fan noises or check whether the fan appears to be running if you can safely observe it without opening the laptop.
If the 90B error continues to appear, the fan may require further inspection or replacement. Avoid repeatedly bypassing the warning by pressing Enter, as continued operation could cause overheating or damage.
Could you please share the exact model of your HP laptop? You can usually find it on the label on the bottom of the laptop or by pressing Fn + Esc if the system starts successfully.
With the model details, I can guide you through the appropriate next steps.
Best regards,
Kuroi_Kenshi
