HP Recommended
Product: HP500-549 Pavilion
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP500-549

http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-500-Desktop-PC-series/7477729/model/7519...

 

Originally came with W8.1

Upgraded to W10 64bit almost a year ago. Never had any issues.

 

BIOS ver was "original":

80.02 Rev.A HP Consumer Desktop PC BIOS Update (ROM Family SSID 2B35)

 

Yesterday, updated BIOS to "recommended" rev:

http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-500-Desktop-PC-series/7477729/model/7519...

A0.07 Rev.A HP Consumer Desktop PC BIOS Update (ROM Family SSID 2B35)

 

Immediatelly PC went into 8 beeps and "HP BIOS UPDATE":

- The System BIOS is being recovered

- The System BIOS recovery is complete. Upon restarting the screen may be blank, etc.

 

Goes into BLUE Screen: A System BIOS Recovery has occured. BIOS Recovery (500). ENTER - Continue Startup. For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

 

I've tried so many options:

- Created a USB drive with latest BIOS. The update goes smoothly as above, then on reboot beeps 8 times and goes into Recovery again

- Tried to press Esc to get into UEFI - no luck. Wanted to get to "Rollback" option

- When i tried to flash with the original 80.02 Rev.A firmware - it "did not pass validation", or would simply say that BIOS recovery Failed.

- When i flash BIOS with A0.07 Rev.A - everything goes normal, but on restart it beeps 8 times and goes into loop.

 

MayDay! SOS!
