So after some random windows update that happen recently. Somehow the last one doing a BIOS update i just know it when after restarting it states a BIOS update like when u do any bios update on hp laptop. Then it says success and auto-restart the laptop after like 10 secs of waiting (coz i didnt press continue and the counter goes to zero and auto-restart). Then Blackscreen is going for about an hour after that success update by me leaving it just like that. Then i lose patient hold down the power button to force it off, just to make it going blackscreen again but now with Caps-Lock Key blinking (the light goes something similar to SOS sign : Long-Long-Long-Short-Short repeatedly) and somehow the fan and hdd still spinning (from what i hear)

Turn off the computer, and then connect the power cord.
Press and hold the Windows key and the B key at the same time, and then press and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds.
Release the Power button but continue pressing the Windows and B keys. You might hear a series of beeps.
The HP BIOS Update screen displays and the recovery begins automatically. Follow any on-screen prompts to continue the startup to complete the recovery.
HP BIOS Update recovery in progress
If the HP BIOS Update screen does not display, repeat the previous steps but press the Windows key and the V key. If the screen still does not display, your computer might not support the feature or there is a hard drive issue. Continue to the next step to install a BIOS recovery file from the HP website.
If the Power light turns off, the Power button was held too long. Repeat the previous steps, making sure to hold the button for only 2 to 3 seconds.
If in doubt please ask.
