BIOS 2.2 Error Code Cannot Boot

[User1122]

When updating the BIOS for my HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0020, the PC restarted, but there was no output to the monitor. I turned off the PC by holding the power button, and now it won't boot up. When first turning it on, there are 8 beeps, and then a 2.2 beep pattern (two long beeps then two short beeps). The monitor will not display anything despite using keystrokes (holding windows key and B or V) and a flash drive containing the BIOS update.

@User1122,

I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is not booting to Windows after a BIOS update and it is beeping.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you follow the steps in the below article and check if it helps.

Thank you for your response. I have already attempted to recover the bios using the steps in the article you linked, particularly the article called 'Recovering the BIOS'. I have attempted every step and alternative step repeatedly and thoroughly, including using a usb with a BIOS update on it to start recovery. Despite this, my desktop PC has not output anything through the monitor, so it is likely a hardware issue. How should I go about addressing this?

3)Enter the serial number of your device or select let HP detect your product option.

4)Select the country from the drop-down.
