Good day HP community!
I have a notebook 17-×115dx model. It crashes last couple of weeks. I tried the system recovery but it didn't work and the black screen appears with the error saying os not found and that I need to install windows. So I did install windows from a usb drive. After installing windows, the laptop restarted and on the lower left corner of the screen it shows "press esc to startup menu" and stuck in there for a couple of minutes before it finally boot to the main screen. I use the hp diagnostic and my "memory and hard drive" passed the test. So, I did try to update the BIOS from 2016 and now 2020. But after the update and the computer restarted, the "press esc to startup menu" just flashes like 2 seconds before it continue booting. Please help. Thank you.
