Hello, I'm new on this forum.
I'm writing from Italy. I've bought a HP Z2 Workstation G5 in June which
worked perfectly until now.
Today, it seems that an update including the BIOS occurred and after that,
the computer doesn't startup while emitting three beeps (one about every 10 seconds).
The PC only has DisplayPorts which deny me the possibility of knowing
what's going on in the computer because BIOS is not shown through DisplayPorts.
I've tried everything suggested on your Blogs and Support sites (starting keeping pressed the power button for 3 seconds while also keeping pressed the Windows Key and B or V on the keyboard), including using the Recovery BIOS from USB solution, but nothing seems to work.
Now the computer boots emitting the same beeps and nothing on screen but I only managed to
make it start by pressing one time the right arrow on the keyboard and I don't know why, but this
makes it boot into Windows 10.
I'm gently asking for your precious help if you have any solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Gabriele
