If not in warranty then do steps 1, 2 and the first part of step 3 in the below instructions

If the above does not work then use a 16gb or larger flash drive and download the previous BIOS

Use a USB that has an LED so you can see if the bios is being installed.

follow instructions to run sp149171 to create the USB flash recovery

it is explained in the second part of step 3 where it say

"Recover the BIOS using a USB recovery drive"

let me know if this works
