BIOS/CMOS Reset

[powerdivine7]

My laptop just updated, today, as I was logging on to use it. It gave me a notification to restart my laptop. I restarted it and now, I only get a black screen. The fan is on; you can hear that CD ROM go through it's detection and that's it - it just keeps doing this and it does not respond to any of the Hot Key presses to bring up BIOS portal. I would like to know is there a way to reset the CMOS/BIOS in this situation and where I can find the steps and or instructions. I am computer savy, so as long as I am able to read the directions, I can follow them. 

Thanks for any help that I can get!!!!

If the issue persists, after the above steps, try the below:

1. Turn off the notebook.

2. Plug the notebook into a power source using the power adapter.

3. With the notebook off, press and hold the Windows logo key  and the B key at the same time.

      NOTE:

   On some notebook models, it might be necessary to press and hold the Windows logo key  and the V key.

4. While pressing those keys, press and hold the Power button on the computer for 2 to 3 seconds, and then release the Power button but continue to hold the Windows logo key  and the B or V key until the HP BIOS update screen displays or you hear a beeping sound (usually 8 beeps).

   The HP BIOS Update screen displays, and the BIOS update begins automatically. This might take several minutes, and you might hear additional beeping sounds.

   • If the HP BIOS Update screen does not display, repeat the previous steps. If the issue persists after repeating the steps, skip to the next step to Download a replacement BIOS file.

   • If the Power light turns off, the notebook has turned off because the Power button was held too long. Repeat the previous steps, making sure to hold the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds only.
