@petemeister Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you are getting a 3F0 error.

 

Your product is not tested for Windows 10 operating system. Please see the below link  

 

As you have stated that you have already performed the hard drive test. In that case, the hard drive is gone bad.

 

You have to replace the hard drive.

 

Please contact our phone support.
