Hi, I'm unable to update my bios to F.18 Rev. (Intel i7 processor). I have downloaded the file from hp software and driver download site, not to mention the number of times I have tried to through the omen control center. Each time I get the same message when restarting BIOS image file can't be opened. I have disabled my anti-virus when attempting to update the BIOS but it just won't work.
Please Help
