Rollback BIOS version

[AndreasValiant2]

So i have this problem, my gaming laptop, Victus 15 Fa0000 just updated the BIOS. But after the update i got this randomly glitch and artifact in all games. When i see in CPU-Z and other GPu test. My GPU now glitch after reach 65 degrees celsius. It never happen before, probably hardware issue but i suspect its the BIOS since it control almost everything. So can you help me rollback my BIOS? (i dont have advanced option in BIOS mode). Thank you

Hi @AndreasValiant2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Since your HP Victus 15-fa0000 started showing GPU artifacts after a BIOS update, and you confirmed that the glitches appear after 65°C, a BIOS rollback is a solid troubleshooting step.
 

Let’s go step-by-step to help you safely roll back your BIOS. 

Option 1: Use HP BIOS Recovery Tool (Preferred)

1. Turn off your laptop.
2. Press and hold Windows + B, then press and hold the Power button for 2–3 seconds.
3. Release the Power button but keep holding Windows + B until the BIOS recovery screen appears.
4. If available, select Rollback BIOS or Previous BIOS Version.

If this screen doesn’t appear, proceed to Option 2.

Option 2: Manually Flash an Older BIOS

1. Go to the official HP support page for your model: 📎 Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fa0000 Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
2. Scroll down to BIOS section.
3. Download an older version (e.g., F.04 or earlier).
4. Insert a USB flash drive (FAT32 formatted).
5. Run the downloaded BIOS file and choose to create a recovery USB.
6. Plug the USB into your laptop and repeat the Windows + B + Power method to boot into recovery.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the older BIOS.

Option 3: Reset BIOS Settings

If rollback isn’t possible:

1. Restart your laptop and press F10 repeatedly to enter BIOS.
2. Look for Restore Defaults or Load Optimized Defaults.
3. Save and exit.

I hope this helps.

Take care, and have an amazing day!

Okay, but the idk the previous bios version, the last time i check with tech guy is F.18, after i updated to the newest BIOS (F.20) for my laptop Victus 15 fa1072wm. Problem still persist, like freeze and constant crashed, except CS2 (running with dx12). But recenlty i got this temporary fix, i limit my fps all games below 50 around 30-40 fps. It can run games but i dont wanna run games in 30-40 fps only (even low end games). Like i said, GPU doesnt wanna run 100%, and i think something wrong like a "killcode" if gpu higher than 65 degrees celsisus, because previously is normal to reach above 70 degree celsius of below 80.

Hi @AndreasValiant2,

Thank you for letting me know. To find if all components are working correctly request you to please try running the test on the Pc and share the result.

Extensive Test -

1. Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer. 
2. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key. 
3. On the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu, click System Tests. 
4. Click Extensive Test.

Please try and keep me posted.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
