My laptop keeps having a blue screen after just 3min after using it with no intense tasks. Now my laptop doesn't boot and just gives me this error:
Boot Device Not Found
Please install an operating system on your hard disk.
Hard disk (3F0)
F2- System diagnostics.
So I pressed F2
when I ran a storage test this message pops up on extensive test:
Smart check : recommend action - executing DST...
Long DST: Not Available
And for quick test it just says quick DST: not available instead of Long DST: Not available
I have already changed the hard drive into an ssd and installed windows on it but i keep having the same problem
Note:Rarely it boots and it works with no problems with no blue screens until i turn it off and on again and it has the same problem
Note 2: sometimes when i turn on the laptop the laptop and screen both turn on but there is nothing on screen and after about 5 min of that the boot device not found error pops up
what dose this mean? And how to solve this problem?
