I have exactly same problem after bios update since last night.

I saw bios update screen after reboot byitself.

No screen after few minute CPU fan running high speed.

 

So mostly HP 260 G2 mini bios is defect what i guess.

No other better solutions?

Absolutely the same thing. After flashing the BIOS got black screen and fan spinning at high speed. In the official HP service said they can't do anything about it (to be honest in such response i did't expected).Yes the warranty is over. Will soon give me it from service.
Bought a new one. Reflash the new bios to the latest version (in case it crashed). But another problem is blinking monitor. All monitors that are connected to this computer blink periodically. No driver updates and operating system have not helped. Passed it under warranty to the service center. Now waiting. Very interesting what they would said in this case. In general it is very sad that something is not right with these hp 260 g2.
At work I have another 10 computers (hp 260 g2). Went through the users and some of them also sometimes have blink monitors (except when installing updates on windows 10). This is all very sad...

Same situation,- after install BIOS 2.09 and reboot after complet, I have black screen and after few seconds CPU fan goes to high speed. Warranty for this 260G2 is over...
Any idea how recovery it? Win+B/Win+V with BIOS USB Flash don't helpfull.
May be reflash BIOS chip from other 260G2? Anybody try to do this?
Very sad too, look like HP developers put firmmware for this brick on official HP site without testing. 😞

 

Out of topic (my apologies): This PC looks good but have problems with grafic, when we had warranty we tried used 3 of them for security guys on our office who sometimes watch video from cameras and after one or two weeks all 260G2 was broken and HP replaced all 3 motherboards. This mini PC on Windows 10 works good only for office applications, like World, Excel or Notepad, and browsing Internet sites, but be carefull with Youtube. :)))

After firmware 2.07 this PC not compatible with some SSD like Samsung or SanDisk, but works good with same SSD on BIOS v.2.05.

I'm strongly not recommended BIOS upgrade for this unit.

I tried reprogram bios chip w25q64fvssig (on minipro tl866cs) from other 260g2 and it's not helpful for me.
