Can you start in BIOS (start and press F1 repeatedly until BIOS starts) <br />
<br />
Then reset BIOS to default state, save exit and restart <br />
<br />
See if that gets you going

Restoring defaults did not work.

You can try the HP hardware test application to look for hardware faults. If not hardware and it will not start, you need to back up (hard drive in a carrier), and reinstall Windows

No. The laptop starts and boots into windows just fine. It is a bios message/issue and has nothing to do with windows.

Thank you. That you can run Windows fine was not clear. <br />
<br />
The only thing you can try is to get the BIOS file (better yet a BIOS update) and try re-flashing the BIOS. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Be sure to back up first.

I updated the BIOS. Same issue. Google searches are pointing to the need for an internal HP tool. &nbsp;I think i'll need to call HP. Maybe i'll get lucky and they have a fix. The laptop isn't under warranty so it will be an adventure.

Thanks. They may have a fix, or it may be the BIOS chip has to be replaced (new motherboard).

HP Message  Warning: Machine Not In Committed State

Hewlett Packard (HP)

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
