Hi @Anikat 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

If your HP PC is not booting up and showing a black screen with an F0 error, along with a message to install the OS again, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

Verify Power Supply:

• Ensure that the power cord is securely connected to the PC and the wall outlet.
• Check if the power LED or any indicator lights are on (Power LED should be green).

Check Connections:

• Ensure all connections including the keyboard, mouse, and monitor are secure.
• Verify if the network cable is connected and the network is functioning (if applicable).

 

Diagnostics and Recovery

Run Diagnostics:

• If possible, use HP PC Hardware Diagnostics tools. You can run these from either the hard drive or an external USB flash drive:
• Download diagnostics tools from the HP Hardware Diagnostics website and follow installation and running instructions.

Set Boot Device:

• Access the BIOS setup (usually by pressing F10 during startup).
• Ensure the boot priority is set correctly, preferably to a bootable USB or CD/DVD if OS recovery is required.

Use Recovery Media:

• Insert a recovery disc or USB drive if one was created prior, or use the Windows OS disc for reinstallation.
• Follow prompts to reinstall the operating system. Remember that this process may overwrite data on your hard drive.

 

Recovery Options

Recovery Partition:

• If your system has a recovery partition, initiate recovery by pressing the relevant key during boot (often F11).
• Follow the on-screen instructions to restore the system.

Using Windows OS Disc:

• Insert the Windows OS recovery disc into the CD/DVD drive, set boot priority to CDROM in BIOS setup, and restart the computer.
• Proceed with OS installation from the recovery disc.

 

Remember, conducting a system recovery will erase data on your hard disk drive. It's advised to backup necessary data prior to starting recovery if possible.
