HP ENVY x360 - 15-bp101na
Microsoft Windows 11

Laptop boot (after Windows Hello screen) reverts to a critical error.  Various tets suggest hardware (possibly SSDD fault).

 

Running HP PC Hardware Diagnotics successully passes the long test for SSD.  But, both long and short test of the HDD ends with "Test Cancelled". No further advice.

 

Following the initial problem, I tried various recovery methods. Finally I re-installed softeware from am 1y old archive. This updated itself to the lates build and the laptop seems OK. But when I run the HP H/W diagnostics it always cancels during the HDD test.     Should I replace the 1TB HDD with a new one (they dont cost much).

 

Not sure where to look for a log file (assuming it c ontainms anything meaningful to me)?

 

Suggestions?
