I may have bricked my bios
12-20-2019 01:11 AM - edited 12-20-2019 01:45 AM

I previously made some changes in the bios and after saving and exiting I got a black screen and couldn't get passed it so I shut the computer off and got a black screen with a long b loud beep so I turned off the computer then got a pending change is taking place but no matter which of the 3 I choose I continue to get black screen and a long loud beep.
Changes I made in the bios
Disabled runtime and sata power management
Disabled Amt
Is there something that can be done to fix the problem?

Hi
Hopefully one of these documents will cover (and solve) your problem...

Turn off the computer, and then connect the power cord.
Press and hold the Windows key and the B key at the same time, and then press and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds.
Release the Power button but continue pressing the Windows and B keys. You might hear a series of beeps.
The HP BIOS Update screen displays and the recovery begins automatically. Follow any on-screen prompts to continue the startup to complete the recovery.
HP BIOS Update recovery in progress
If the HP BIOS Update screen does not display, repeat the previous steps but press the Windows key and the V key. If the screen still does not display, your computer might not support the feature or there is a hard drive issue. Continue to the next step to install a BIOS recovery file from the HP website.
If the Power light turns off, the Power button was held too long. Repeat the previous steps, making sure to hold the button for only 2 to 3 seconds.
