Hi @benscar37,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're dealing with a serious BIOS issue on your HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-1137c. Here are a few steps you might try to resolve this:
Verify the BIOS Recovery Files:
- Make sure the BIOS recovery files on the USB drive are the correct ones for your specific model. The files should be downloaded from the official HP support site.
Check the USB Drive:
- Use a different USB drive to ensure the one you're using isn't faulty. Format the USB drive to FAT32 before copying the BIOS recovery files.
Recreate the USB Drive:
- Recreate the BIOS recovery USB by following HP’s official guide. Sometimes, the files might get corrupted during the download or transfer process.
Ensure Proper Placement:
- Plug the USB drive into a USB 2.0 port, as some systems have issues with USB 3.0 ports during recovery.
Perform a Hard Reset:
- Turn off the computer, unplug all cables, and hold down the power button for 15 seconds. Then, plug everything back in and try the BIOS recovery again.
Try the BIOS Recovery Shortcut:
- With the USB drive inserted, turn off the computer. Then, turn it on and immediately press the Windows key + B key together. This is an alternative method for BIOS recovery.
Check for Beep Codes:
- The beeping you hear might be a BIOS beep code indicating a specific issue. Consult the user manual for the meaning of the beep codes.
