@Prachipuri, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're experiencing intermittent boot issues, system hangs, and display/navigation pane problems on your HP laptop. Let's work through this step-by-step to identify and resolve the issue.
Issue Summary
- "Boot Device Not Found" error appears multiple times.
- Laptop hangs during startup.
- Hardware scan shows "No Operating System" or hardware issues.
- Navigation pane is partially visible or not working.
These symptoms suggest a potential hard drive failure, corrupted OS, or graphics/display driver issue. Here's how to proceed:
Perform a Full HP Hardware Diagnostic
- Turn off the laptop.
- Turn it back on and immediately press Esc repeatedly, then F2 to enter HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
- Select System Tests > Extensive Test and run a full scan.
Check BIOS Settings
- Restart the laptop and press Esc, then F10 to enter BIOS.
- Go to System Configuration > Boot Options.
- Ensure the hard drive is listed as the first boot device.
- Press F9 to load defaults, then F10 to save and exit.
Attempt OS Repair (if drive passes diagnostics)
If the hard drive is healthy but the OS is not loading:
Create a Windows 10/11 recovery USB using another PC:

Boot from the USB:
- Insert the USB.
- Turn on the laptop and press Esc, then F9 to select the USB drive.
- Choose Repair your computer > Troubleshoot > Startup Repair.
Fix Navigation Pane Display Issue
Once the system boots:
- Update your graphics drivers via Device Manager.
- Run Windows Update to ensure all system files are current.
- If the issue persists, try creating a new user profile to check if it's a user-specific glitch.
