Most probably, it interrupted the BIOS update.

Hi @decu2000
HP Desktop PCs - Computer beeps or a light blinks during startup | HP® Support
The red light blinks twice, and then four, short white light blinks (2 long red, 4 short white)
This condition indicates that the embedded controller is checking or recovering the boot block.
Allow the system to attempt to recover the BIOS.
Attempt Sure Start Recovery if the issue persists after waiting several minutes.
