thats a hard disk failure resulting from a corrupt filesystem or operating system or bad sectors or a fatal physical damage..
i know the smartest thing to do would be to try reload or reformat the system...wrong..
in most cases,when a hard drive has been regenerated,the data is been moved to another sector where it can be read and accessed and without doing do much,everytin returns back to normal(the bad sector wld have been marked as BAD)and data wld never be stored there again...formatting wld make u lose the whole data and in the future data wld still be written in the bad sectors..moreso,most pple dont even know the difference btw a quick format and a full unconditional format..a full format would test all the sectors during the format then report the status/condition of the hard disk after formatting it..(this is one of the reasons chinko flashdrives,memory cards never really pass the full format test)
subsequently,on recent laptops there is a feature call SMART((Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology)if active on ur laptop would have alerted u prior to this errror message u are just getting

Done did all that. #im replacing the HDD.
#entered BIOS tho to manipulate some stuffs.
just before u replace the hdd,i suggest u let a professional check for u...im aware the a protect setting in the bios that stops u from reloading atimes...i remember yrs ago on my hp paviliion dv 1659ea..i tried to reload it for over a yr so i cld downgrade it from vista to xp..but i cldnt..then i forced it to format...
it took a friends friend at hp us that actually told me the feature to disable in the bios..
also u can remove the harddrive and attach to another computer to run tests on the hdd..
besides,if the hdd aint physically damaged,i can repair,regenerate and restore its contents..
take all the steps before u decide to buy another

I would advice you read what's on the screen and press f10 to run
an hard drive test. You need to backup your data and replace the hard drive.

Do you have an hp recovery disk/media or a windows vista/7 operating system disc ?

You need to look for adetwin or onegig in this forum for data recovery so you can get
back your data before adding another hard drive and installing an operating system.

Thanks for your response. I will try it when I reach house.

It is probably a problem with the memory. Try removing it and putting it back. Secondly you can try connecting it to an external monitor. If it works on an external monitor, then the problem is with the Inverter or LCD flex cable.

You bluetooth driver may not be compatible with windows 8.1, did you install the windows 8.1 yourself or it came with the System pre-installed.

Step 1:

→ Go to RUN (Windows Logo + R) and type “services.msc” and Enter.

Step 2:

→ Now find “Bluetooth Support Service” and double click on it.

Step 3:

→ In General Tab change startup type Manual to Automatic.

Step 4:

→ Now click on Log On Tab and mark on “This Account” and type your account name or browse to find your account name.

Step 5:

→ Now remove both hidden password and restart your PC.

Step 6:

→ Now Re install your Bluetooth drivers.

Your S key is stuck down. Push hard on the S key until it clicks or snaps (but don't break it ohhh grin), Also try the keys around it. Maybe try spraying some canned air inside the keyboard. If nothing works, try removing your battery and putting it back in after 3 seconds.

Since you mentioned that it's a new PC, I am assuming that the drivers are properly installed. Now, when connecting your phone to your PC for the purpose of transferring data, always ensure that the phone screen is unlocked.

Regarding the bluetooth issue, ensure that the other device you are trying to pair with is configured to be visible to other bluetooth devices. Then, on your PC, open Control Panel > Devices and Printers. In the upper left corner, click Add a device. Windows automatically searches for available bluetooth devices. When a device is found, click on it and click Next. Follow the rest of the prompts to complete the pairing process.
