BIOS update from 1.3 to 1.44

[Peterhof]

When running SP #99989 to upgrade from BIOS ver 1.3x to 1.44 the install proceeds as normal.

When the computer re-boots to install the new BIOS it just freezes and does nothing.  

Rebooting and pressing the ESC key aborts the process, and computer functions normally, but BIOS is still not updated.

TIA

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately that did not work.  

Currently installed BIOS is 1.39 and even when trying to re-install it machine still hangs.
