Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• Did you make any changes to the settings of your PC prior to the issue?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

While you respond to that, let's try these steps

1. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.

2. Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the f10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.

3. On the BIOS Setup screen, press f9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.

4. Press f10 to Save and Exit.

5. Use the arrow keys to select Yes, and then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?

6. Follow the prompts to restart your computer.

In addition, perform hard drive tests in HP PC Hardware Diagnostics:

1. On the Component Tests menu, click Hard Drive > Quick Test.

   

2. Click Run once. The Quick Test begins.

3. If the computer has more than one hard drive, select the drive you want to test. To test all the hard drives, select Test All Hard Drives.

   When the test is complete, the screen displays the results. Test results are also available in the Test Logs on the main menu.

4. If the hard drive passes the Quick Test, but there is still a problem with the hard drive, run the Extensive Test. This test includes the SMART Check, Short DST, Optimized DST, and Long DST. To run these tests individually, select them from the Hard Drive Tests menu.

5. If the hard drive fails a test, click Troubleshoot.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to attempt to resolve the problem, and then click Yes.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
