Updating bios issues

[Electorates]

Hello! I have been wanting to upgrade my servers cpu (HP Pro 3300 series MT) but it needs a bios update to at least version 8.xx and currently I am sitting on version 7.16 . All of hp’s bios updaters for this PC are broken and do not work . Does anyone have a working bios upgrade tool? I know it was stupid of me , but I have already bought the cpu😢.

happy holidays

@Electorates,

I can assist you with this.  Yes, HP made this a little tricky.

Go to this website: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-pro-3300-microtower-pc/5099458?utm_source=chatgpt.com, and choose Windows 8 (64-bit), then "Submit", and click on the "BIOS" tab where you'll find BIOS version 8.13 Rev.A you are looking for:

Kind Regards,

Thank you for your response.I downloaded the file you told me to , ran but , unfortunately, it seems like this installer/updater for the bios in my system is also corrupt/doesn't work.It shows me this:

After following the prompts, a cmd window appears saying this:After following all the prompts , a cmd window appears showing this, then dissapears.I have also tried all the other updaters, even ones from other HP pc's which had the same motherboard, to no avail.Do you know what i can do?

Kind regards,
