Hi @abdallahm98

Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

I understand that you are looking for the Advanced Tab in the BIOS.

May I know what is the issue and which settings are you trying to change in the BIOS?

Thank you 🙂

Hi @abdallahm98

Your Notebook has already been set and tested for optimum performance.

HP does not recommend making any changes in the BIOS as this might damage the Product.

Thank you

@abdallahm98,

I read the post. thanks for the quick reply. As @KrazyToad is out for the day, I am responding on his behalf. Please load bios defaults and check if it works by performing these steps:

• Please keep tapping the Esc key gently several times as soon as you power on the computer.
• It takes you to the startup menu.
• Then press the F10 key to go the bios.
• Then press F9 load setup defaults and select yes and push “enter.”
• Then press F10 to save changes and exit and restart the computer and check again.
• Besides, as @KrazyToad mentioned the bios is designed for optimal performance and may not have options for modifications as it might damage the product might get damaged if customers change options in it.

This is really lame.  It's MY product.  I paid for it.  If I want to change advanced settings to my liking I should be able to do it.  If it damages the system, so be it, its my fault and no one elses.  I have been trying to figure out how to change advance memory settings in my H8-1414 but the "BIOS" that was included is nothing more than a system report and is totally USELESS.

Totally agree. I bought new gaming laptop without OS, and I have same issue, I absolutely don't know but much much horrible. Maybe somehow you can do it from RWEverything. Changing HEX codes, i mean programming/reflashing your BIOS/CPU Microcodes, but it's way too risky! you need to know where and how... Still i have same locked bios and still couldn't found solution, and having this inhumanly working "new gaming" laptop......

I regreat of every single hp hardware i ever had. They are all a piece of junk once you have ANY real support and HP makes your hardware fail intensionally and make sure you cant fix it on your own. Shame on us that spent money on this... mabe next time we learn the lesson and go to a Dell or Asus anf get rid of this BS!

You cant even buy a battery or a AC that is not overpriced from them...
