    This isn't really a Windows issue as it is an HP issue. I'm betting you had a corrupt BIOS flash, or you have a bad network card. Moving to the HP forum where you'll hopefully get more expertise.

    What bios was it running earlier? Did you install any third party wifi/WWAN card? The error message you are seeing is due to the HP whitelist which blocks the use of any 'non hp approved' wifi/WWAN cards. If you have no issues with opening up the notebook, try removing the wifi card & see if the system boots.
