My hp 650 windows 8 can't boot completely again. It displays. If I format it, how possible is it for me to update my drivers again?

To determine if your specific system is one of those that HP has tested With Windows 8 and to download the instructions guiding you through an upgrade please go here and enter your Product Number

There are two types of BIOS updates.

Windows 8 BIOS updates for the most recently shipping Windows 7 systems will support UEFI 2.3.1. Such systems would be capable of supporting Windows 8 features like Secure Boot and GPT drives (these features require a clean install of Windows 8).

Windows 8 BIOS updates for older systems are limited by the BIOS chip size. Such systems will not be capable of supporting Windows 8 features like Secure Boot and GPT drives. It is still recommended to update as they introduce support for the wireless button in Windows 8 and may have other fixes related to issues seen in test.

Windows 8 BIOS updates for products supporting UEFI 2.3.1

The list below covers initial Windows 8 bios releases. More recent BIOS versions may be available on the software download web page for your product.

Please tell me where you can download the BIOS for HP pavilion dm1 4000-er ? The site found only update the BIOS

Dragunov2 · ‎10-07-2013

I really want an updated UEFI for my Envy 17 2050eb

sbodea43 · ‎10-07-2013

Again those bio numbers mean nothing to me. I don't even know where you locate those. My Product number is EOJ81UA#ABA . It is a Pavilion 17 Notebook with Windows 8 64 bit. It is very unstable with the curser jumping, windows jumping, changing pages and when I am trying to post or send an email, the font changes, window size changes or sometimes the work completely disappears. I did put my Product ID number in and it said it hasn't been checked by HP. What is wrong with Windows 8 that it is so unstable. I have read the community posts on Microsoft and there are a lot of complaints about it. Microsoft's response is for those with new computers to check with the manufacturer. So, that's what I have been doing but I am not getting any answer. I have read reviews from various Tech sites including CNet and they aren't recommending Windows 8. However, too late for me. When the screen on my Windows 7 went out, I had no choice but to purchase a new computer. Windows 8 was all that was available. I liked Windows 7 so this is a real letdown.
