Turned on my desktop and it went into BIOS update. I was caught by surprise and thought maybe it was a virus and powered down. Now I cannot start up. When I power on there are loud beeps and black screen.

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

Powering off during a BIOS update is not good.

 

Try all BIOS recovery options at the following HP site:

 

Desktop PCs (Link).

 

You may need HP factory service if you cannot recover the BIOS.

 

Regards
