Hi
I've recently updated the BIOS to F.19.Rev.A via the HP Support Assistant. Since then I've had multiple 'crash screens' whenever I attempt to stream video in any internet browser. I noticed an error message appearing only with the Edge browser that indicates a problem with accessing the graphics card which never happened prior to the update. I'd like to know how to rewind the BIOS back to the previous installation. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
I see that you're experiencing display issue after bios update.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).
- Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
While you respond to that, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:
Recover the last working BIOS version:
-
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.
-
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 a BIOS recovery message repeatedly displays, continue to the next step to install an updated BIOS version.
-
If a message that the computer improperly shut down or a boot problem is detected displays, follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the error.
-
If Windows starts, update to the latest BIOS version. Go to HP Notebook PCs - Updating the BIOS.
-
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
