why not forget BIOS, if the RTC battery is good so is BIOS leave it alone until boots fail ok>  your battery  and PC are near new.

w8 ?

so step one was skipped I see, no screen photo full shown. (to see the NIC ICON dead or good in task bar)

(THE NETWORK IS FIRST) on same DM screen click network.

first is internet connected,   is it? if yes all you do is click that first line of endless errors and right click update  that line.

my Z600 old as heck installs fast and clean  on w10 even the MS PNP works OOBE.  

sorry all I have are questions😁

you found this PC with w8 dead like this,  ? a wrecked install by someone else? or off what media (bad)

HOw did you find this PC like this (history)

this PC have old data not backed up or APPS expensive and no license saved?

for sure w8 was installed wrong, that is FOR SURE.!

why not do this,?

connect Ethernet cable to your router from this PC, DIRECT wired. CAT5/6 cable.

AND FRESH LOAD W10 FOR FREE, TO THIS pc, some PCs that are w8 PCs even free ACTIVATE To w10.

AND ALL that dead stuff seen there are working now.

just 1 step, put on w10  .  (came with w8 or w10 new ) is w10 is free, the license for w10 is stored in the BIOS.

btw all errors there 8086 means intel chip drives missing big time and mean the installer failed (person)

error one decodes to

Xeon E7 v3/Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Integrated Memory Controller 0 Channel 0 Thermal Control

that V3 Xeon E5 runs and loads clean on any  w7 ,w8 or w10 installer so is install.

or using bogus install media not from HP or not from Microsoft.com DIRECT.

that is it, just to a fresh install clean.

btw HP may have  clean w10  free install image just for you , ask, (outside my pay grade that)
