Hello. I have an HP 15-g018dx . When I turn on the computer, the screen lights up but nothing happens. I hit the BIOS key, and it freezes up on the Loading BIOS screen.. I sometimes get "No Boot Devices Found". I took my hard-drive and put it in my other laptop and it wouldn't boot either. Is the computer not booting because hard drive is broken? I switched out the RAM and kept the same hard drive nothing different.
 


No it is the same after I switched RAM. I'm wondering if its's hard drive or not.
 


Well when it worked, there was no bios screen, it went directly to HP logo with a spinning thing. Then I got into windows. I will try resetting cmos. What I find weird is I changed out the ram from my other laptop and switched the sticks. The laptop with working ram (HP one) still got stuck at Bios, and laptop with broken ram got a blue screen and restarted.
