Device fails to power on and display errors during startup.
I own a 3.5-year-old HP Pavilion and planned a fresh window upgrade. The laptop’s display only runs at 60 Hz, which is lower than the default 144 Hz, making it hard to reach the BIOS settings. I removed the SSD and transferred it to my PC to install Windows. After starting the installation and finishing setup, I tried booting back into the laptop, but it wouldn’t load Windows. Because the screen is damaged, I’m unsure what’s causing the issue. If anyone has advice, please let me know.
Connect an external monitor and unplug the laptop’s screen cable. It will switch to the external display. During installation, you likely ran a full setup which triggered driver issues, causing crashes. Another possibility is the system auto-detected a 144Hz screen and adjusted accordingly, leading to problems. In either case, an external monitor helps observe the issue or you may need to address hardware faults.
