Hi @Death0402,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
Hopefully one of these documents will cover (and solve) your problem: Click here
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 the above steps do not work, better alternatives for you other than an F2 diagnostic.
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.
Then - Leave only the keyboard and mouse connected, and disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking stations, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat
AND/OR - Power on your PC, press Esc (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4-minute hardware check).
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
