3f0 Error code

[dipperdr]

Hello there, my laptop has an error code 3f0. The manufacturer's website has instructions for recovery, but only for laptops with components from Intel

The components of my laptop are an AMD Ryzen 3 Mobile 2300U processor, an AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 6 Graphics video adapter

How do I fix 3f0 error ?

This issue is often due to a failing drive. So, let's check that first, because if it is failing, it would need to be replaced and there is no point then in doing anything else until we confirm that.

If your PC is new enough to support UEFI, you can use these steps to test the hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024

If not, to check the drive you have to follow these steps:
1) Press Esc key repeatedly, several times a second, while rebooting the laptop. Do NOT hold the key down, just press it over and over.
2) Eventually, you will see an HP Startup Menu
3) Press the Function key for testing the hard drive (usually F2) and let it run.

Hello. Thank you for your time.

System diagnostics, as well as a memory check and 2 levels of hard disk verification did not reveal any problems in their operation
