 It's stuck in "system bios update failed. Unable to open bios image file". I read in these forums about downloading certain bios file and create a recovery flash drive. I confirmed that it was the Monk board with SSID 86F3. So i did that and downloaded file SP141980 and was able to create the recovery drive from a different HP model. But i'm plugging usb drive and turning it on and it's still stuck in loop. I tried ESC or f10, and WIN +B multiple times but i find no way to exit that loop. Any help would be appreciated.

 Good afternoon. I tried resetting cmos. I removed cmos battery from computer and kept it unplugged for more than 10 minutes and held power button for 30 seconds to discharge it.. I managed to make the computer to make the 8 beeps while holding down win + B . It started installing  Bios Update from usb recovery drive i made. But after finishing writing new bios image, after verifying image it says "The system Bios Pending Image is being cleared.  The clear will take a few minutes to complete". "Clearing Pending image"...Then screen goes black for 20 seconds and it will show "system bios update failed. Unable to open Bios Image file". Again with the loop error.  I tried twice these steps with no luck.
