I am using a omen gaming laptop and for some reason my computer had some issues while starting and I’ve been working with it for a couple hours and it gives me the same 3FO error.

• On the BIOS Setup screen, press f9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
• Press f10 to Save and Exit.
