HP Pavilion Laptop Model 15-EG0108TX 2R8B5PA#UUF
After a failed windows update, getting bios 500 error
Screen is black after boot, with fan running
Tried doing the Recovery using USB bios recovery method, it is able to load into the BIOS recovery page, successfully write and verify and go into the countdown restart page.
But after that, it goes back into the BIOS 500 error notification
followed by black screen.
Not able to access to UEFI menu, the BIOS menu or the boot menu.
