My BIOS is corrupted on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 24-r159c and I am trying to recover it using the standard HP process. It gets to the BIOS recovery screen and begins copying the BIOS and gets to between 50% and 70% and then freezes. I end up having to do a hard shut-down.
I've tried:
- recovering from the original SSD (from the special partition)
- recovering from multiple different USB flash drives
- multiple different versions of the BIOS (there are 5 different ones available on the HP site for this PC)
- removing one of the two RAM memory sticks (tried with both, only the 4GB, only the 8GB)
Every time it does the same thing and freezes partway through. I also tried doing the "Clear CMOS" by connecting pins 3-4 on the motherboard to see if that would work.
Any idea what would cause this and what I can do to fix it?
Every time it does the same thing.
