Q: What if the Hard Drive fails the test?
A: If your Hard Drive fails the test, you will have to replace it as seen here; https://youtu.be/tNp5Kbo9uHg.

Q: What if the test says the hard drive is not installed or not available?
A: That means its either bad or loose. I would first try ‘reseating’ the Hard Drive. That is where you unplug it and then plug it back in, making sure its properly plugged in and secure. Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see how to do that here; https://youtu.be/tNp5Kbo9uHg. You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new one as shown here; https://youtu.be/ULrJVk4JJ20. You can make your own Install Media Free from Microsoft as seen here; https://youtu.be/g_UhiHScaSI. If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it.

Q: What if changing the settings in BIOS didn’t help and the scan passes everything?
A: If changing the settings in BIOS did not help, and the diagnostic scan showed all components to be healthy, then its most likely an issue with your operating system. Reinstall it as seen here; https://youtu.be/ULrJVk4JJ20. You can make your own Install Media Free from Microsoft as seen here; https://youtu.be/g_UhiHScaSI. If you cant create your own and you need to purchase it, make sure you get INSTALL Media and not Recovery Media. If you cant create your own, you may have to purchase it.

Q: The test says the battery is almost dead. Is that my issue?
A: If the test says your battery is dying, I would definitely replace it asap. However, that’s most likely not the cause of your boot loop. To make sure, remove the battery and try to turn the computer on with only the power adapter plugged in. What happens then?
