TPM chip not found

What is TPM-NOT-FOUND?

The TPM-NOT-FOUND error is categorized as a medium-severity hardware BIOS/UEFI issue that can significantly impact your PC's stability. Windows 11 or BitLocker does not find the TPM 2.0 module. When experiencing the TPM chip not found fault, users often report sudden system crashes, unresponsive behavior, or a blue screen of death (BSOD). In most diagnostic scenarios, this problem is directly triggered by underlying hardware or software complications such as tpm disabled in bios, missing physical tpm and old firmware. To permanently resolve the TPM-NOT-FOUND issue and prevent further system degradation, it is highly recommended to follow our step-by-step troubleshooting guide below, ensuring your hardware BIOS/UEFI components are functioning correctly.
