Have you attempted any steps on your own before posting on the HP Forums?

When was the last time it worked without these issues? 

In the meantime, please try the steps mentioned below:

Go into device manager and uninstall the card reader, it should be listed as IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

This will uninstall and reinstall the driver for the card reader.

1. Open Device Manager (Hold Windows + X key and select device manager)

2. Follow the instructions in the preceding procedure to uninstall the device.

3. If you are prompted to restart the computer, follow these steps:

   • Plug in the device and then restart the computer. The device will be detected and reinstalled after Windows restarts.
   • Follow any instructions on-screen to complete installation.
      

4. If you are not prompted to restart the computer, follow these steps:

   • In Device Manager, in the Action menu, click Scan for hardware changes.

*Note
Scan for hardware changes will not reinstall a Plug and Play device if a driver is already installed on the computer. If the device has not been uninstalled, Scan for hardware changes will not detect the connection of the device as a change. You must uninstall a Plug and Play device for Windows to start an installation when you connect the device again.

Please reply with the details for further assistance.
