HP Stream Boot Device Not Found

[lafinrat]

My son's HP Stream just says Boot Device Not Found when he turns it on.  It's like the OS is gone.  Any way to get it back?

I have tried all of this.  Now when I attempt to to a factory reset, it gets to 1% then sits there and won't move.

I understand your concerns.

Please perform the below steps on the computer to run a System Test

- Shut down/Turn off the computer

- Once the computer is completely Shut down/Turned off

- Now press the power button once to turn on the computer and immediately start pressing/tapping the F2 key on the keyboard

- This should open the UEFI Diagnostic screen on the computer

- Please select System Test and then select Extensive Test

Have a nice day!!

It doesnt have extensive test.  It has storage test and memory test

I recommend you run the storage and the memory test and let me know the result.

Cheers!
