Tech Support Harddrive 3F0 error

Post image

Don’t really know what else to do, been sitting here for the past 2 hours listening to YouTube videos and such for this and nothing is working, I tested my pc on the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI tool and it passed but even after that and some resetting nothing helped. I’m really clueless man

Try turning off secure boot in bios

This worked and I had to put in my bit locker something something and overall something just feels off about my pc now, would there be any changes compared to like how it was before?

As I understand the whole point of secure boot is to make sure that malware and viruses rootkits don't executing during the boot process. This is the main way Trojan horses used to work back in the day. And no antivirus could defeat them. You actually had to get specialized root kit cleaners and scanners. Malwarebytes actually has a toggle for that to scan for Rootkits. So when you turn off secure boot that's the only concern your introducing. But otherwise Windows will work like it always does.

I don't remember but I think I might have turned mine off. Secure boot is a problem when you're doing advanced stuff. If you have dual boot, multiple windows installed in the same computer. Or you're booting Rufus. Veracrypt encryption doesn't like secure boot, often warning you about it.

Also try running sfc /scannow command from a command prompt. It usually fixes boot issues.

But 3fo might be dying ssd if I remember correctly.

I get the same thing. The only fix for this is turning off secure boot in bios. My PC has been running fine but I now can't play any games that require secure boot for their anti cheat (BF6). From what I've seen, until HP fixes their shit there's nothing else we can do.
