No disk with operating system

[TonyMan13]

I have an older Pavilion x360-14 that I added memory and an SSD to. Everything was fine until recently. Whenever the system restarts I get a message saying it doesn't find a disk with an operating system. If I shut it off and turn it on, it boots right up. Not a major problem, just an irritant but would like to know if there is some way to stop this.

 from occurring.

I also have replaced the battery with a non-HP battery, get the message about that, but don't feel it's part of the problem since that was replaced a few years ago.

Thanks

It may be too late but you might check and see if you can do a cloud factory restore

If your system came with "HP Recovery Manager" then the new SSD would not have the recovery partition unless you cloned the original disk to the new one.

Possibly you just need a firmware update to the ssd

There may be firmware updates for your SSD. First find out what type of SSD you have.

Using the windows command prompt, please run the following command and report back what it reveals if you want help.

wmic diskdrive get model, size, mediaType, status

for example

Samsung and other SDD manufacturers may have a firmware update to their SSD.

If a Samsung SSD (for example) then select Samsung, look for firmware update ( 970 EVO) , download the update and install Samsung Magician to do the update.

===>you may have an actual ssd problem<===

I am guessing there is a disk drive error of some type.
Please install and run the free Hard Disk Sentinel app.

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks for the info. It’s a Samsung and I have their SSD App. I’ve got a busy day on Sunday so may not get to this till Monday, but will report back.

Well, I looked at it for a bit today. The SSD is not Samsung it's from Phison. That would have been the generic brand sold by Microcenter. Don't know why I had the Samsung Magician installed, but I took it off. The boot info in the BIOS is correct and the disk tests ran fine. I did numerous shut downs and restarts and could not get it to fail. Wondering if the Samsung Magician had anything to do with it.

Anyway, it seems to be working fine now and I don't know what to say, except thanks for the help and info. If it starts again I'll download that Hard disk Sentinel and go from there.

It could have overheated. 

You can reset the smart history using Disk Sentinel and see if it hits a high temperature again.
