HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec1000 Laptop PC (1A210AV)

I have this issue that is crippling my Laptop from booting

When I power it on the screen says "BIOS corruption has been detected" to start the recovery. But 3-5 seconds later, the pc restarts (i know it restarts because the fans blow hard at start up) then says "Bios recovery files cannot be found or the files are corrupted"

I tried installing bios update on a usb drive but the issue persists the same with nothing different

 

All of this happened out of no where, after I reinstalled windows 11 and used it for 2 day

Hi @SpookyFy28 

 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

The BIOS is the first firmware to run after turning on the computer. If the BIOS on your computer becomes corrupted, the computer fails to boot to Windows.

 

The BIOS can be corrupted during normal operation, through environmental conditions (such as a power surge or outage), from a failed BIOS upgrade, or damage from a virus. If the BIOS is corrupted, the system automatically attempts to restore the BIOS from a hidden partition when the computer is restarted. 

 

The below document covers other steps to restore the BIOS if the automatic BIOS restoration does not work.
