Hi @Mistify11,

 

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for the First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.

 

As I understand the computer gets a blue screen error,

 

Don't worry, we should be able to find you a fix, just follow the steps listed below:

 

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

What is the product number of this computer? (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

What is the Operating System installed on the PC?

Have you made any software or hardware changes made on the PC?

Was there any update/reset interrupted, recently?

When was the last time it worked (date)?

Have you performed any troubleshooting steps before posting this on HP Support Forums?

 

In the meantime, let's try these steps here:

 

Perform a Hard Reset

 

Attempt a Bios Recovery

 

Run the System diagnostics test as well as an extensive test on the hard drive as well as test on the Memory...

 

Depending on the test results, If all the test passes, I would suggest you perform a System recovery using the partition available on your PC. Doing this will wipe off everything and set the PC back to the original factory conditions. So please backup your data before initiating System recovery. For some reason, if the recovery fails, this means either the partition is corrupted or the System file is missing. 

 

Link to perform System recovery: Click here

 

The only other way to install Windows would be to order the recovery media for your laptop and using the recovery media you can install Windows. You can check if the recovery media is available online on www.hp.com/drivers by entering the exact model no. of your laptop. To find the exact model no. click here: http://hp.care/2bygf7l

 

Otherwise, you could also reach HP phone support to order the recovery media. Please fill in the product details to get the tech support number.

 

Please use the following link to create yourself a case number, then call and it may help speed up the call process:

Step 1. Open link: www.hp.com/contacthp/

Step 2. Enter Product number or select to auto detect

Step 3. Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"

Step 4. Scroll down and click: HP contact options - click on Get phone numberCase number and phone number appear.

They will be happy to assist you immediately.

Keep me posted for any other assistance,

 

If the information I've provided was helpful,

give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,

that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck.

Hi @Mistify11,

 

Thanks for replying,

I did try to decode the failure ID but unfortunately, this seems to have a missed a character in the first group, I would suggest you run the test again and please do not forget to capture the failure id, as this will help me in further assisting you,

 

I will wait for your response. Eager to assist you. Cheers!
