@MNASIRdkn -- exactly which model do you have? Each model might have a unique BIOS.
Why are you trying to update the BIOS? What problem do you think that will be solved by a BIOS update?
I have seen far too many posts on this forum like "BIOS update failed, my computer will not start".
I recommend that you NOT try a BIOS update.
What is the real problem that you are trying to solve?

@MNASIRdkn -- someone tell me to update BIOS, and this problem will be solved.
Can that person help you locate an update for your BIOS?
is this your computer: HP Pavilion g6-2205ax Notebook PC | HP® Customer Support
It reports "no available downloads" -- which I interpret as not having any BIOS updates.

Unfortunately, since laptops do not have graphics "cards" but instead, use graphics chips soldered to the mainboard, you are stuck using the OEM's video drivers. If you download them from elsewhere, like NVIDIA or AMD, they sometimes will work, but most of the time, will not.
I really wish folks would quit expecting BIOS updates to be "miracle cures" for anything that ails a PC! Flashing the BIOS is a very risky action and can easily turn your laptop into an "electric brick".
In addition, HP only provides video drivers for specific OS versions. So, if your PC came with Windows 7 (for example) and you force an upgrade to Windows 10, the video drive simply might no longer work.
