Greetings Salvo2,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

You may be able to flash the BIOS (Link to BIOS update) by following instructions here (Link). Note, this BIOS update is also supported on WIndows 7.

 

Check BIOS update instructions when Windows does not start.

 

You may have to contact HP Support if flashing the BIOS fails.

 

Regards

Hello,

 

I experienced the same problem, only working solution was the one I found here: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup/Black-screen-after-BIOS-update-on-280-G1-MT-Bu...
