Hello everyone,
So, i have a laptop hp zbook 17" first generation that is around 2 and a half years old by now and i recently installed windows 10.
specifications: processor: 4 th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ (2.4 GHz, 1600MHz, 6 MB L3 cache, 4 cores, 47W) (no vPro support)* Up to 3.40 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology
graphics: NVIDIA Quadro K3100M with 4 GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory Microsoft DirectX 11.1 (Shader Model 5.0) and OpenGL 4.2 capable
RAM: 8GB
Memory: 1TB of hdd. BIOS version: L70 Ver. 01.36 (last update. 26 sep 2016 / unable to update)
The first problem started when i was playing a game and i saw some screen tears , so i updated the GPU driver and it seems to has fixed it as apparently windows 10 didn't even installed any driver after updates.
Secondly after i turned my laptop off and tried to turn it on again the next day it gave the notification that my pc needed to be repaired and it did it on it's own. But these would fail, so it
turned into an endless loop of trying to repair, failing at repairing and restarting.
Third time the option that i thought there was, was installing windows 10 again from the UEFI, this seemed to have worked, I installed all drivers and updates and restarted my laptop. Till that point all seemed fine. Then i thought it was fine, turning my laptop on and using it for a while ,installing few games to test it out.
Fourth problem came up the next day again when i tried to turn my pc on and had the exact same problem with the endless repair loop, this time i was able to enter the troubleshoot menu. where is shown the options of resetting , which all 3 don't work, if I were to chose one it would always say: "Unable to reset this PC".
So later factory reset did work suddenly where I hoped it would go back to windows 8 and be fine. This didn't happen. while resetting pc to factory settings it stopped working at 39 % and crashed. this point I tried to install windows 10 through the UEFI again, and magically worked.
FIFTH PROBLEM Next day I turned my laptop on again and getting now the screen of "recovery failing" with
option 1 "Press Enter to try again" = when pressing this, nothing happens.
option 2 "Press F8 for start=up Settings" = when pressing this, nothing happens.
option 3 "Pres esc for UEFI Firmware settings" / when pressing this i do get the UEFI option menu.
In there I tried to do all the system test and the test that loops until error, which always said everything passed.
when I try to reset the PC it says: "unable to reset this PC".
It also says that its missing a partition , and error code . 0xc000000f
Right now It's doing a loop of turning on giving this error code and turning of.
Please help me, I hope i didn't made it worse by trying some things on my own.
All help is much appreciated.
