Currently my device is having the error of "Boot Device not found, Please install an operating system on your hard disk, Hard disk (3FO)". I have already reset bios to default and ran system diagnostics. For the memory test, hard drive quick check, and hard drive extensive check all tests were passed.
Does anyone have any advice/explanation of what can be done here?

Please follow the below steps to identify and resolve this concern:
Step 1: Perform a hard reset
HP Notebook PCs - Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
Step 2: Restore BIOS default settings
Step 3: Test the hard drive using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI (In your case, Skip to Step 4)
Step 4: Re-seat the hard drive
Step 5: Perform an HP System Recovery
If none of the above actions resolved the error condition, back up your personal data and then perform an HP System Recovery on the notebook:
