periodic Non- System disk error when computer wakes from sleep mode

dephelps · 25 Sep 2016

I recently installed windows 10 on my HP z210. Everything seems to work after some driver updates, but occasionally when I have put the computer in sleep mode, I return to see it awake displaying the "non-system disk error" screen. It wont go past this, but when I power off it boots normally. My boot sequence is correct, and no removable media is present. I do have an SSD system disk and a regular hard drive for backups. Various drive utilities tell me that my SSD is healthy, and it is less than 1 year old. Any ideas on what could be causing this. or if it could be indicative of some kind of pending drive failure?

Thanks!

It is not a SSD issue. Something is causing this problem when it is in S3 state. You can go into a Command Window and pull the last sleep report with powercfg. Otherwise, try rolling back to previous Restore point and see if that solves it.

If you have the HP toys still on the computer, I would suggest going to microsoft.com and download the Windows 10 AU ISO and burn to a DVD. Then use that to do a clean install with none of the HP garbage installed.
