HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5 Notebook PC: My pc keeps restarting

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 13:49:49 -0700

Why does my pc restart at intervals and displays a message on the boot screen” installing windows update “ and then comes on only to restart severally again with irregular intervals. I can’t do anything with my pc because it might just restart again. Also when it boots it show a notification “ restart required. Your pc needs to be restarted to finish setting up this device: HP R90 System Firmware “

HP Elitebook x360 1040 G8: Can't Boot on Battery Alone

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 07:30:40 -0700

I have tried two iFixit replacement batteries for my refurb laptop.

The original HP battery is functional, but full charge lasts only for about 2.5hrs, so decided to replace.

After intalling the new batteries and fully charging them, the batteries last for 5+ hours, great.

However, if I try to boot the laptop on battery only, the keyboard lights up and power led illuminates for a couple of seconds before powering back off. The screen does not come on.

If I plug in the AC power, it will power on. If I let it boot into windows and remove the AC power, the laptop will remain working on the new batteries. If I boot to BIOS setup and then remove the AC power, the laptop will remain working on the new batteries.

Windows battery reports show the batteries are healthy. Windows HP diags show they're healthy. BIOS/UEFI diags show the batteries are healthy.

I've tried the various power resets, such as holding power buttons with/without battery connected. No luck.

I've reset the BIOS, no luck.

If I put the old battery back in, it boots up successfully without AC power.

Does anybody have any ideas?

HP EliteBook 1040 G4: Black screen, capslock and numlock flash 5 times

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:08:34 -0700

I have an elitebook 1040 g4 that I got as a failed laptop, I had it working intermittently for a while, then it stopped completely.

When I started looking at the issue, I took the board out, found I had knocked a diode off the board.

I've resoldered the diode, seems to be connected and passes a diode test on the multimeter.

Frustrated, can't find a schematic, not sure what's what.
