Fix For The F.57 BIOS Bug Which Causes Windows 10 & 11 Installations To Freeze On Just A Moment

[pcgraphix]

Mossy0752, I just emailed the BIOS F.55 bin file.  Good luck! Let us know the final outcome.

I just followed the steps you outlined, worked perfectly! I'm back up and running again. Clean install of Windows 11. What a hassle to have to go through.

And I do see the 57 update in the "optional" system updates. Definitely avoiding that one. I don't understand how the bureaucracy works. There isn't any official support offered for machines bricked by a bad firmware update. Fixing the problem independently involves some really annoying hoops. And on top of it, HP can't be bothered to remove the bad update from Windows Update? Definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyways, thanks for your help!

Hello i followed this process to fix the BIOS issue. When the update process complete and computer rebooting, the computer is just producing beeping sounds like 8 of them and the power button flashes followed by 3 short beeps again and nothing happens. No screen display. How do i fix this and get back to install Windows 10 64 bit?

Hirens.BootCD.15.2.zip gets marked by my Windows Defender as Ransom Ware.

I also don't see how to turn this into a flash drive, as it contains a disc .ISO file.

Can you elaborate more on this process?  

I downloaded a separate BIOS file from HP and tried to use it, but I'm getting a Signature Failure error when I attempt to install.  Is there any way around this?

This describes my exact issue.

I have a HP Pavilion 590-p0057na, AMD Ryzen 5 with Radeon Vega 11 Graphics, nothing fancy and this issue is happening to me, I've checked the BIOS version and the dreaded .57 is there. Gonna go through this forum and see if there's a fix I can try, but posted this so you know it's not exclusive to the Gaming range, my computer froze on shutdown and restart so I tried a clean install via USB and you can guess where I am. Comforting to know it's a BIOS issue and not hardware, maybe a fix will come out soon, fingers crossed.

Tried the steps on creating a Hirens drive etc, can't find the BIOS file on the HP website, the only option I have is for HP Consumer Desktop PC BIOS Update ROM Family SSID 8433 - sp101891

Followed all the steps, it didn't work for me, I get 30 - Error: Unable to open specified file

Hi @tsteff63 

Hiren's includes a Windows product key retrieval tool. Defender is probably flagging this. Temporarily disable Windows Defender. My anti-virus software detected this tool.

Hiren's provides an .ISO to bootable USB conversion tool https://www.hirensbootcd.org/usb-booting/ 

The signature error when attempting to install a previous BIOS version is one of the reasons why you cannot roll back the F.57 BIOS update.

Hi I reloaded Hirens but cannot find Defender, if it helps I reset my PC because the machine froze at shutdown or restart, I’m stuck at the just a moment screen it freezes every time no matter how many times I install windows from usb media.

Should I just buy HP recovery media, because community suggestions aren’t working.

Hi

It would be best to find a local PC tech if you are having BIOS version rollback problems.
