@shahidabbas2001, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
I understand how frustrating it must be to deal with repeated restarts, BIOS freezes, and overheating on your Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fa0031dx. You've already done a lot of great troubleshooting, so let's build on that and try to get your system back to working condition.

• Laptop stuck at BIOS or Victus logo
• Random restarts and freezes during automatic repair
• Processor overheating
• F10 BIOS access freezes
• Win+B BIOS recovery failed
• BIOS flashed to F.29 via external flasher
• Voltages on board appear normal
• USB/NVMe boot hangs
• RAM reseated and thermal paste reapplied

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide:

Perform a Hard Reset

Sometimes residual power can cause boot issues.

• Disconnect charger and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
• Reconnect only the charger and try powering on.

Check for POST (Power-On Self-Test)

• Remove both RAM sticks and try booting with one stick in each slot.
• If available, test with known-good RAM.
• Disconnect SSD/NVMe temporarily and try entering BIOS.

BIOS Recovery via HP Hardware Recovery

Since Win+B failed, try this:

• Turn off the laptop.
• Hold Windows Key + V, then press and hold the Power button for 2-3 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding Win+V.
• If successful, you’ll hear beeps and see a BIOS recovery screen.

Thermal and GPU Check

You mentioned overheating and a possible graphics issue. Try:

• Booting into Safe Mode (if possible) via Windows Recovery.
• If it boots in Safe Mode, GPU drivers may be corrupt.
• Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to remove GPU drivers, then reinstall from HP Support.

HP Diagnostics UEFI

If BIOS access is possible:

• Tap Esc repeatedly at startup → choose F2 for diagnostics.
• Run System Test and Component Tests (especially for memory and storage).

If BIOS is inaccessible, create a USB diagnostics tool:

• Download from: HP PC Hardware Diagnostics | HP® Support

Check for Shorted Components

Since voltages seem okay, but the system hangs:

• Inspect the GPU VRM section for burnt or shorted capacitors.
• Use a multimeter in continuity mode to check for shorts near inductors and capacitors.
• If unsure, share a high-res image of the board for guidance.

Consider EC (Embedded Controller) Reset

Some Victus models support EC reset:

• Hold Ctrl + Alt + Delete for 10 seconds while powered off.
• Then power on and check behavior.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
