Hi @Pradeep001 ,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with updating the BIOS on your HP Pavilion Gaming laptop. A sudden shutdown during a BIOS update can be a critical problem. Here are steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Ensure Sufficient Power:
- Make sure that your laptop is connected to a reliable power source during the BIOS update. A loss of power during the update process can cause the shutdown.
Check Battery Level:
- If you are using a laptop, ensure that the battery level is sufficient. It's generally recommended to have the laptop connected to power during a BIOS update to avoid any interruptions.
Update BIOS from Within Windows:
- Instead of using a bootable USB drive, try updating the BIOS from within Windows using the HP Support Assistant or the official HP website. This method might be more stable.
Use a Different USB Port:
- If you are updating the BIOS using a USB drive, try using a different USB port on your laptop. Sometimes, issues with specific USB ports can cause problems during the update.
Update BIOS in Safe Mode:
- Boot your laptop into Safe Mode and attempt to update the BIOS from there. This can reduce the chances of interference from background processes.
Disable Antivirus/Firewall:
- Temporarily disable any antivirus or firewall software on your computer before attempting the BIOS update. Sometimes, security software can interfere with the process.
Update in BIOS/UEFI Environment:
- Some systems allow you to update the BIOS directly from the BIOS/UEFI menu. Check your laptop's user guide for instructions on how to do this.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.-
