Hi @Me082021,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

If you're experiencing difficulties updating your BIOS using the legacy flash method, there could be several reasons why the update is not completing successfully. Here are a few possible explanations:

Incompatibility: The BIOS update might not be compatible with your system or motherboard. Ensure that you have downloaded the correct BIOS update file for your specific motherboard model and version.

Incorrect flashing procedure: Double-check that you are following the correct steps for flashing the BIOS using the legacy method. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions precisely to avoid any errors.

System instability: If your system is experiencing instability or hardware issues, it could interfere with the BIOS update process. In such cases, it's recommended to resolve any underlying hardware problems before attempting the update.

Insufficient power or interrupted update: If there is a power loss or interruption during the flashing process, it can lead to an incomplete update or a corrupt BIOS. Ensure that your system has a stable power supply throughout the update process, and avoid any interruptions such as accidental shutdowns.

BIOS update limitations: Some older systems or motherboards may have limitations when it comes to BIOS updates. It's possible that the legacy flash method is not fully supported on your system, and you may need to explore alternative methods or consult our HP internal support. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
