Dear Everyone,

Please can you help me.

Issue:  Hangs at HP logo + Not allow me to enter BIOS + Cannot change boot order to USB 1st.

How It Happened:

I Updated to newest "BIOS Revision/Date  v80.10  07/03/2018"

:  BIOS update checked new BIOS integrity and 0 errors.

:  PC restarted turned on hung at HP logo, no loading circle animation

:  Waited 1 hour. Pressing ESC or F10 does not bring up boot menu or enter BIOS

What I have tried: 

:  When off,  Holding Power button (2-3 Seconds) + Windows button + B,

   PC makes 8 beeps and screen is black.

: When off, Pressed Power Button (for a moment), Pressed ESC button repeatedly, it   

  shows:

            : a black screen with white text saying -

            - Processor type Intel i7

            - Processor speed 2700Mhz

            - L1/L2/L3 Cache Size  32KBx4  / 256KBx4 / 8192KB

            - Memory Size:  16384 MB DDR3 / 1600 Mhz / Dual Channel

            Channel A: XMM!  8192 MB

            Channel A: XMM!  8192 MB

            - BIOS Revision/Date  v80.10  07/03/2018

            - At the bottom of the screen it says "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu".

>>> I have pressed ESC many times, and restarted and got back to this screen, and   

       still repeatedly pressed restart, nothing happens at all.

Please can you all help me. I really need your help.

Thank you in advance.

@JURASSICWORLD , welcome to the forum.

I am sorry that you are having problems with your computer.  Here is a guide to help you run the HP Diagnostics from UEFI (BIOS).  Follow the instructions to see what happens.

Hello,

Thank you for your very fast message.

I looked and did as the GUIDE said.

The Issue:

From off, Turning the PC on and pressing ESC many times, go to a black screen with the text, as in the last message about Processor, Ram, etc.

I then pressed F2 to see if it would take me there but it stayed on that black screen with the Processor, Ram info.

Please could you help me with your next steps.

Thank you again!

🙂

- Memory Size: 16384 MB DDR3 / 1600 Mhz / Dual Channel

Channel A: XMM 8192 MB

You are welcome, @JURASSICWORLD !

It would interesting to see if the laptop will boot to the HP Recovery media that you made when you bought the computer.  I would give this a try to see if it is a software or driver problem.  If it boots to the Recovery media and you follow the instructions, the hard drive will be wiped clean and you will lose your personal data if you don't have a backup.

Hello,

Thank you for your very fast message.

What I have tried:

  I have tried the "HP" "DISC 1 of 4"

: in an external USB "Blu-ray" drive (No Disc drive is built into the computer 😞 ).

: I tried it in all four USB ports (2x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0)

What happened:

: The computer turned on, and the HP logo came on and stayed.

: Nothing else happened, the logo stayed there even after 10 minutes of waiting (just in case of good luck).

I really like your expert views, I am happy to try more of your ideas.

Please may I request you give me more ideas to try.

Just say and I will try my best to do it.

🙂 Thank you in advance.

Hello,

We opened the computer at the back.

We saw:

:HDD 2.5 inch

:Ram 2 x 8GB

:CMOS battery

We removed the:

:HDD 2.5 inch

:Ram 2 x 8GB

:CMOS battery and left it out for 5 minutes.

Then we put it all back in and turned on:

: Same symptoms

: Turns on, stuck at HP logo

: Press ESC, and then bottom right white text appears saying "Startup Menu". Nothing happens, no menu appears.

Please can you help me with more of your expert ideas. We are happy to try your expert ideas.

🙂

Thank you in advance

You are very welcome, @JURASSICWORLD!

It is difficult to diagnose a problem when you can't enter the BIOS.  I would like to test the hard drive.  I am beginning to consider that it may have failed without any warnings.  However, that still doesn't answer the question, "why can't you enter the BIOS"?  I am going to ask another Expert to take a look to see if he has any ideas.

@erico, do you have any advice for this situation?

[JURASSICWORLD]

Hello,

i am very thankful of your fast messages, and expert help.

Still the same issue.

We have changed the HDD with a SSD that was kept as a backup drive, just in case.

Still the same issue.

I am so thankful to you that you are helping me, and asking another expert.

Thank you, thank you .
