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.

Hi @Scott294,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be happy to help you! 

 

If the Hard Disk Error 3F0 boot device not found is displayed on a black screen, use the following procedures to try to resolve the error.


Restore BIOS default settings

To restore the BIOS default setting, open the BIOS Setup screen.

 

  • Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
  • Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the f10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
  • On the BIOS Setup screen, press f9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
  • Press f10 to Save and Exit.
  • Use the arrow keys to select Yes, and then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
  • Follow the prompts to restart your computer.

 

Please click here for the remaining steps.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance
