HP website does not have BIOS for HP Pavillion notebook 15Z-AB100.   It is American Megatrends F.45, does anyone know where I can download it?   Thanks.

It uses drivers for HP 15-AB100 series BUT it is too old now, no more support page, only

Thank you so much!  You are very knowledgeable on this, and I greatly appreciate your help.  I never thought I would be able to find this BIOS.  Before I flash this new BIOS, I have a few questions.

 

Is this BIOS the same as American Megatrends F.45, which I currently have?  How do I make sure that this BIOS matches my Automatic management Technology (AMT) ?  Is it compatible with system Board ID 80AF?  Will it update both the BIOS AND the BIOS DRIVER?

 

The problem occurred right after a Windows 10 update.  The odd thing about this problem is that when I do WIN +B, it appears to update BIOS, and even says "BIOS recovery is complete."  However, when rebooting it says "preparing automatic repair", but goes back to the blue screen and ACPI BIOS error.  Diagnostics show all hardware functional, including memory and hard disk.

 

Is it possible that it may be the caused by ACPI settings?   Should I disable Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) mode, or set ACPI mode to S1?  

 

Any comments would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have enough information. BIOS for HP Notebooks does not use SSID, only use machine series
