Hp 3300 mt
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I have an HP 3300 mt with

G620 2.6ghz with 4gb ram and 500gb HDD Windows 10 H61mobo/Foxconn 17A0

So I decided to buy a get 1030 (I know it will bottleneck) but when I installed it got no display so I thought maybe I only needed to download to drivers so I uninstalled the GPU for now and use intel HD... after installing and all the stuff and ran the PC still no display, it turns out that I need a bios version of 8.0< but I  am still on 7.07 so I go online to install a much recent one but after clicking the I agree (in terms and conditions)  some errors pop up like

-Error 8716: Invalid usage

-Error 8727: Firmware update tool failed to get the firmware parameters

Or when I click hpinstal

-Proper command line parameters were not passed. No actions taken.

Bios that I selected was SP64125

would really appreciate the answers if someone can help fix me I can give you maybe ak47ft elite b. skin if you play csgo

 BIOS's  FOR THE 3300MT is SP60638 (win 7 64bit)

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp60501-61000/sp60638.exe

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pro-3300-microtower-pc/5099458

 

or,  SP64125 For win 8 64bit

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp64001-64500/sp64125.exe

 

 

 

your system only came with win 7/8 however i don't recommend trying either bios's windows update method

either use the USB key method by extracting the files in the SP64125's DOS folder (place DOS bios image and flash files on a bootable fat 32 key on usb 2.0 port) do not copy the DOS folder to the key, copy the files in the dos folder to the usb key

 

or through the Bios itself, (select update bios option)

again have the extracted SP64125 DOS folders bios image file placed on a non bootable fat 32 usb key

 

 

to extract the sp files either run the SPxxxxxx and when asked to install cancel, the go to c: and look for extracted SP files

or use winzip/7-zip/winRAR to extract files, read the included doc files!!

 

last you posted in the wrong forum, ........you have a consumer system please post future requests in the forum above this one

Well first sorry for posting in the wrong forums...

I moved the SP extracted files to a 8gb flash drive but when I startup the pc while pressing esc upon power on where do I go after opening up the HP start up and how do I update my bios there?
