@BossmanSam,

Thank you for posting on HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I see you are having issues with the Bios update. Don't worry I'll be glad to help you.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Have you recently made any changes on the PC before the issue started?

Are you referring that the computer shuts off while updating the Bios?

Could you tell me if you're facing any issues with the notebook due to which you're attempting a BIOS update? 

Have you attempted the steps mentioned in "Updating the BIOS when Windows does not start (Windows 10, 8, 7)" from the HP document?

In the meantime, let's try these steps here: 

Perform a Hard reset on the notebook: 

Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the amount of power stored in hardware components. Decreasing stored power is sometimes referred to as a "Hard Reset". Use the following steps to perform a hard reset on a computer:

1. If Windows is open, click Start and then Shutdown.

   If Windows is not open and the computer has power, press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts off.

2. With the power off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.

3. With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.

4. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.

Let's rollback the Bios to the previous version, for more assistance, please follow this link: HP Notebook PCs - Recovering the BIOS

Step 1: Verify the current BIOS version installed and the correct ROM Family SSID for your PC 

Step 2: Find the BIOS updates 

Step 3: Download and install the BIOS update 

For more details: Click this link and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Then check the version of the bios. If this does not work, please download and run the HP support assistant to detect the bios and other drivers and install it. Please check this link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03467905 Please follow the steps from this link and follow the option under “My Devices - Specifications, troubleshooting, and device specific information” and “Checking for HP updates” This should do the trick for you.
