I just got an hp pavilion and I am trying to wipe it clean from the bios but every time it failed halfway there it an I have tried about ten times. So my question is how do I stop that and why is it happening so I can factory reset it.

I would try a different procedure.  Try using the Windows install media to do a clean install.

Use the Windows Media Creation tool to make the install media on a USB stick.
