Hi,

This usually indicates a hard drive failure. So, first, you should run HP hardware diagnostics at boot and perform system tests (fast) or at least a hard drive test.

So, turn off the PC by holding the power button. Turn on the PC and continuously keep pressing ESC until the startup menu appears. Next press F2 to enter diagnostics.

Let me know if there are any hardware failure ids.

Hi,

The failure code indicates that "Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure"

You will need to replace the drive and reinstall the OS.

So, what you need is a 2.5" SATA3 HDD or 2.5" SATA3 SSD which would give a boost to performance.

On page 39 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive

You will need to reinstall the OS. You can create installation media on another PC. You do not need product code and Windows will activate automatically once installed and connected to internet.

You can then install HP support assistant for drivers and much more

Any missing drivers you can find on support page for your product
