Hi @G-a-z,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding BIOS issues for HP Notebook!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Steps to Resolve BIOS Recovery Issue:

Perform a Hard Reset:

  • Turn off your computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
  • Unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery (if accessible).
  • Press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds to discharge any residual power.
  • Reconnect the battery and AC adapter, but leave other peripherals disconnected.
  • Turn on the computer.

Clear CMOS:

  • If the hard reset doesn't resolve the issue, clearing the CMOS might help.
  • Access the CMOS battery, remove it for a few minutes, and then reinsert it. This may reset low-level system settings.
  • Follow the specific guidelines provided in your maintenance guide for locating and removing the CMOS battery.

BIOS Recovery:

  • Restart the computer and quickly press the F10 key to access BIOS settings.
  • Use the Restore Defaults option to reset the BIOS to its default settings.

Reseat Memory Modules:

  • Reseating the memory modules can sometimes resolve hardware-related issues. Ensure that they are correctly seated.

Use BIOS Configuration Utility:

  • HP provides a BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU) that generates a configuration text file, which can assist in identifying BIOS settings issues. More information can be found in BIOS Configuration Utility User Guide.

HP Support Assistant:

  • Run HP Support Assistant to check for software updates and potential fixes that could be deployed.

I hope this helps.
