Hi @bwil4,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I understand your HP OMEN needing a motherboard (BIOS) update. Let’s go through a few checks.

Before we proceed:
What exact OMEN model do you have, and what BIOS version is currently installed?
(To check, press Windows + R, type msinfo32, and look for BIOS Version/Date.)

Meanwhile, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Confirm Current BIOS Version

• Press Windows + R.
• Type msinfo32 and press Enter.
• Note the BIOS Version/Date.
• Also note the System Model.
• You’ll need this to compare with the latest version.

Step 2: Download the Correct BIOS Update

• Go to the HP Support website.
• Enter your exact OMEN model number (not just “OMEN”).
• Select your Windows version.
• Open the BIOS section.
• Compare your installed version with the latest available.
• Download the newest BIOS if it is newer than yours.
• Only install a BIOS update specifically for your exact model.

Step 3: Prepare the System Before Updating

• Plug the PC directly into a wall outlet.
• Close all open programs.
• Temporarily disable third-party antivirus.
• Do not interrupt power during the update.

CAUTION: Do not shut down the system while the BIOS update is running.

Step 4: Run the BIOS Update

• Double-click the downloaded BIOS file.
• Follow on-screen instructions.
• The system will restart automatically.
• Allow the update to complete without interruption.
• The system may restart multiple times.

Step 5: Verify Update Completed

• After reboot, press Windows + R.
• Type msinfo32.
• Confirm the BIOS version now matches the updated version.

I hope this helps.
