HP Pavilion Gaming - TG01-0011nc

The computer will not start after the BIOS update. Just black screen, LEDs are on, ventilators working. No beeps.

Any idea how to solve?

Hi @Honza1111 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Pavilion Gaming desktop won't start after a BIOS update, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Power Cycle the Computer:

• Disconnect the power cable and any peripherals.
• Hold down the power button for about 15-20 seconds to discharge any residual power.
• Reconnect the power cable and try starting the computer again.

Reset the BIOS:

• Turn off the computer and unplug it.
• Open the case and locate the CMOS battery (a round, silver battery on the motherboard).
• Remove the battery for about 5-10 minutes, then reinsert it.
• Alternatively, look for a jumper labeled "CLR CMOS" or "Reset BIOS" and follow the instructions in your motherboard manual.

Try to Recover the BIOS:

• Some HP systems have a BIOS recovery feature. You can try this:
  • Turn off the computer.
  • Press and hold the Windows key and the B key together.
  • While holding the keys, press and hold the power button for about 2-3 seconds, then release the power button while still holding the Windows and B keys.
  • After a few seconds, you should see a BIOS recovery screen if this method works.

Check for Hardware Issues:

• Ensure all components (RAM, GPU, etc.) are properly seated.
• If you have multiple RAM sticks, try booting with one stick at a time in different slots.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
