hi
there is no reference here with 8 long it goes up to 5
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_1997210-1528385-16
But 2 long 2 short
The red light blinks twice, and then two, short white light blinks (2 long red, 2 short white)
This condition indicates that the main area (DXE) of the BIOS has become corrupted and no recovery binary image is available. It can also occur when updating the BIOS.
Allow the system to complete its updates and any changes.
Attempt Sure Start Recovery if the updates are not installing as expected.
so Do you know if a bios update has been done?

You didn't update the bios, ok, but you're telling me that you wanted to use a bios recovery method, which caused this?
to fix corrupted bios on desktop computer is very difficult most of the time..
but tell me everything you tried, where the drivers come from, I don't understand how you can go from a simple driver download to this!
