Hi @padmarajgl,

That message means the BIOS update/recovery didn't finish. Let's let it complete.

Option 1 – Let it finish

  1. Make sure the ProOne 440 G9 is plugged straight into a wall outlet (no power strip) and disconnect all USB devices except keyboard/mouse.
  2. Turn it on and don't touch anything for at least 10 minutes, even if the screen goes dark or it restarts.

Option 2 – BIOS recovery with Win + B

  1. Turn it off. Hold Windows + B and press the power button; release power and keep holding Windows + B until the BIOS recovery screen or beeps appear (HP guide: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_3966820-3438449-16).
  2. Let the recovery complete and restart.

If it keeps beeping and shutting off, count the beeps and contact HP: https://support.hp.com/contact-hp
