Hi @LK05,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

The error message "Boot device not found Hard disk 3F0" indicates that the computer is having trouble locating the hard drive, which is the device where the operating system and your files are stored. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.

• Check the hard drive connections: Make sure that all cables connecting the hard drive to the motherboard are firmly attached and not loose.
• Check the boot order: Go into the BIOS setup (usually by pressing F10 or Del during startup), and make sure that the hard drive is set as the first boot device in the boot order.
• Check for any external devices: If you have any external USB drives, memory cards or other storage devices connected to the computer, remove them and try booting again.
• Check the hard drive health: Use a diagnostic tool to check the health of the hard drive. You can download and run a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo to check the hard drive's status.
• Try booting from a bootable USB or DVD: If the hard drive is damaged or not detected, you can try booting from a bootable USB or DVD to see if you can access the computer.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
