Hi @Chapo1127xd
Power loss during a BIOS update corrupts the BIOS. Try all recovery steps at this Site but I don't think they will help.
You are in a Catch 22 situation. I am guessing you have no video and no USB function which means your PC is "bricked".
Your Options if the above recovery steps fail are:
1. Contact HP Support. HP may reprogram the BIOS or replace the MB.
2. Have a local PC tech reprogram the BIOS using a Serial BIOS programmer and a recent BIOS executable file. The BIOS file should be available at your specific HP PC's Support site.
