Hi @KenCoq,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

I'm sorry to hear that you're facing an issue with your HP Pavilion while updating the BIOS. A BIOS update gone wrong can be a critical problem, but let's try some steps to see if we can resolve it. Please proceed with caution as updating the BIOS is a sensitive process that can potentially cause permanent damage if not done correctly.

Here's what you can try to break the update loop.

• Force Restart: Sometimes, the system might be stuck in a loop due to a temporary glitch. Try force restarting your computer by holding down the power button until it shuts down completely. Then, turn it back on after a few seconds to see if the issue persists.
• Clear CMOS: If the problem persists, you can try clearing the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) settings. This will reset the BIOS to its default configuration. To do this, you'll need to locate the CMOS battery on your motherboard and remove it for a few minutes before putting it back in. This process varies depending on the model, so it's essential to refer to your laptop's manual for specific instructions.
• BIOS Recovery: Some HP Pavilion models have a BIOS recovery feature that allows you to recover from a failed BIOS update. The steps for BIOS recovery can differ based on the model, so again, refer to your laptop's manual or visit the HP support website for instructions on how to perform a BIOS recovery.

Remember that BIOS updates should only be done when necessary and with extreme caution. If not done correctly or interrupted, it can lead to serious issues, so it's always essential to follow the HP instructions carefully.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
