Hi:

It appears that any HP AIO PC with a MonkD motherboard such as yours has, the latest BIOS update fails.

There has to be 30 - 40 posts about this problem in the last two weeks.

The only suggestion I can offer would be to read through this discussion and hope you can get your PC back up and running again.

There is supplemental information below.

HP Desktop PCs - Recovering the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) | HP® Customer Support

Last section.  There is a video at the very bottom of the page that describes how to do this on a notebook PC, and since it is included under the desktop link, perhaps it works the same way.

Install the BIOS recovery file

Restoring the BIOS with a Recovery Flash Drive on HP Notebooks

The easiest thing to try first would be to follow the instructions that show up after the USB recovery drive has been successfully created.

1. Power off the device to be recovered.

2. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port.

3. Power on the device.

4. The device may reboot up to 3 times with indicator lights on the keyboard flashing, or the screen appearing blank for short time.
