How did you perform the update with the black screen problem? I have the same thing, but I can't disable anti virus or go to update because of it

I was having 90b fan error issues with my HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop and for whatever reason updating my BIOS fixed it! Thanks SO MUCH

What to do if Bois advance is lock?

[@migueldelcastillo7269]

I have this model of hp computer and tried swapping out and cloning my original m.2 with a new one that has 1tb of space on it. Long story short it didn’t clone over and had to install windows 10 again but I don’t have all this HP support stuff on it and it has been doing some funky things like not opening the windows “window”(?) Or other little things like the calculator sometimes haha. Also it always tries to make the 1tb hard drive the primary drive or something and I’m not sure what’s up with that, as if it doesn’t recognize the m.2 as the primary windows device sometimes. I’ll try installing the hp support info like this, it’ll probably fix a lot of issues, (I’m assuming?) thank you for your videos, they are extremely helpful and informative with great narration and production quality!

[@accessrandom]

Thank you. It sounds like the two boot partitions are interfering with each other. When there are two of them in the system, I find that the BIOS/UEFI sometimes registers the wrong one. What you could do is physically remove the 1TB drive from the system and see if it boots properly from the SSD - if it does, you can wipe the HDD clean on another computer (if possible), then re-attach it to the HP in order to use it as secondary storage. I would recommend creating a rescue disk from Macrium Reflect in case you run into any problems though. I show how to do that in my cloning video.

@@migueldelcastillo7269 Yes, this video covers the manual way of updating the BIOS, and is for those who may have uninstalled Support Assist and other pre-installed HP software (to remove the bloatware).

I tried to download the updated BIOS firmware from the HP site, but the only options available are for Windows 10. Unfortunately at some point my HP Pavilion was updated to Windows 11. Am i stuck with the BIOS firmware I have(F.11-06/11/2018)?

[@Noon1263]

When I got my pavilion the PCU fan wasn't working, after the Bios updated its self it fixed it, that was in December of 2020, its almost 2021 now and my pc has done nothing but lag and run slow. Why?

[@accessrandom]

Was the CPU fan rotating at all before? It sounds like the speed is being throttled for some reason (maybe the rpm of the fan is too slow). You may want to contact HP support directly to explain your problem with a specific BIOS update version and model number.

Hello I have a problem where I download the update bios file and when I go through all the steps of doing next or pressing Yes for agreeing to the terms of service I dont get the Wizard tab that is suppose to pop up after so I can create my usb recovery flash drive any reason why it doesnt pop up?

[@accessrandom]

Do you mean the screens after the TOS screen at the 5:16 mark? I would check to see if your anti-virus is still running. If it's off, you may want to contact HP support directly since those steps are actually part of the wizard.

[@amorpadua9223]

Product: Pavillion 14 Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-Bit) I updated my bios thru official HP page. I didn't get a power cut. How would I know if it is compatible to my HP Pavilion 14 and working properly. Does updating bios from f.22 to f.47 will give me issues in the future? My laptop is working well after I update it but I am scared to encounter damage and issues in the future, I updated it without flash drive and now it is updated but I am using the laptop now nomally. I am just scared because I thought that an update would be necessary but I realized that it is for hardware that late. Is my bios and motherboard fine that I can use my laptop so well today? Thank you for help.

[@amorpadua9223]

f.47 provides enhanced security so I updated it and I just accidentally updated it. Am I lucky that the update was successful? I'm scared. Did I damaged my mobo?

[@accessrandom]

If you're able to boot into your computer after the update and everything works as before, I think you'll be fine. In most cases, companies will test cumulative upgrades before releasing (especially something as critical as a BIOS update) - otherwise, they would probably mention it in the release notes. If you are in doubt, you could contact HP support directly.

[@sumansouravbiswal5525]

Did the same mistake today🤦🏻‍♂️. I installed a new SSD in my laptop, was checking it's using Samsung magician software and it was close to 71°C. I googled the issue, read a blog that said updating your bios might fix that issue...blah blah blah and without a second thought I downloaded the BIOS and installed it.

[@sumansouravbiswal5525]

My system reboot was successful. Hope it doesn't create any issues in future. 🤞🏻

[@bruhmoment3528]

Hey i uptated the bios withiut knowing any of these steps cause it said windows update. I went to shut down and it went to that screen bios update. I thought i got some virus and freaked out. Luckily i let it do its thing and it was very loud with the fans but it ended up just tirning off after it finished hopefully when i check it do you think something will happen since i hadnt followed the steps?

[@accessrandom]

I would just verify that you have the latest version as shown at the 2:21 mark, and compare that to the latest on HP's website. If they match, you should be ok. Instead of the manual method that i show in this video, HP's Support Assistant probably updated it for you.

[@TheHumbledon]

Hi, my laptop completed the update but it froze on the HP loading page and it’s been stuck on that for awhile. Do you know what to do? Thanks

[@accessrandom]

Was the update downloaded from HP's official support site? I haven't had any reports of a failed update, so you may want to contact HP support directly.

Hi, Access R. I recently have purchased this used HP pavilion G-60 and in a working condition. However: I purchase it with no hard drive and memory ram. I am trying to used the HDD[which is uploaded with windows 10 pro., with all of its updates] and memory ram from my last Unit: a HP pavilion G60 too._ with this new unit. but after there I insert both 4GB memory card and HDD into its slots and secure it. the recent purchased laptop: keeps giving me a blue screen with beeping. and when I finally gets to the sign into windows page. I go through a hard time signing in. because the keyboard keeps typing[on it owns] these vertical lines and won't let me sign in. would that be a BIOS or drivers issue? awaiting reply. Thanks in advance.

[@accessrandom]

This sounds more like a Windows transfer issue, or possibly a Windows license issue (where licenses are not transferable between OEM machines).

[@gempakstarz2319]

Sir, can you help me solve my problem? Actually, my laptop is running Windows 8.1, so I want to upgrade to Windows 10, but it says something like this: "The HP Pavilion Notebook Bios needs to be upgraded before you can upgrade Windows."

[@bbbobbbo77]

Hello! Please can you help me because I'm at a real loss here... I've got an HP Pavilion 17 Gaming Laptop and try as I might I couldn't get it to update the bios. So, I have downloaded the BIOS update from HP website for my laptop model (carefully checked model serial), but it won't let me install it from windows (bitlocker and windows security disabled). I also tried several times the 2 nd option i.e. manually from a flash drive but upon reboot, after hitting the ESC key and getting into the menu with F1, F2, F9, F10 options there is no way anything like "update bios" or "firmware management" will appear. What am I doing wrong? :((

[@accessrandom]

You may want to try contacting HP support directly - I noticed there were quite a few versions of the BIOS for some Pavilion 17 models. The only thing I can think of is for the Windows installer not working is that there's possibly some dependency on a previous version of the BIOS that requires an incremental update. Another alternative is to install Support Assistant and update it that way.

[@bbbobbbo77]

@@accessrandom Real thanks for your helpful reply - I did just that and the HP staff were really kind and acted so professionally, guiding me patiently and step by step till the issue was solved. No damage was done, thank God! So in case this helps someone else: First off when the BIOS update process failed, the laptop froze on the HP BIOS UPDATE display at 31 % on the progress bar, with full blast both fans, keyboard lit and... it stayed like that forever, nothing else ever happening. One hour later I tried to forcibly turn off the laptop but, alas!, the power button didn't work anymore... Being afraid to both unplug it or remove the USB memory stick out, I left it like that till the next day (so at that point I still hadn't removed the AC power charger or the memory stick with the BIOS update firmware, either), and still no change. It was the next day that I contacted HP support who first told me to relax as they were pretty sure neither the mobo nor anything else (e.g. the BIOS chip) had been broken. Next they suggested I should use Windows key + B key combination to restore the old BIOS firmware. The only thing was that in order for that key combination to work, the laptop had to be completely turned off, but as mentioned above, the power button was totally unresponsive no matter how many seconds I had it pressed (I had tried several times keeping it pressed down as long as 5 minutes, but to no avail!). Called HP support again, and this time around they advised me to remove the USB memory stick and unplug the laptop and leave it draining the battery out until completely shutdown, and only then plug it back in and attempt restoring the BIOS using windows + B combo. Before that, however, they suggested I should reset the CMOS using a similar combination - windows key + V. So I did the following: unplugged the laptop, removed the USB memory stick and waited for the battery to die out. When that was accomplished, I plugged the laptop back and attempted the CMOS reset as described above. To this moment I don't know if I really reset the CMOS, but it didn't matter anymore as the computer started with its old BIOS restored, and, as it seemed, everything was like before, working as it should! I don't know if this be the solution for other laptop brands and I hope no one will brick their hardware using the steps I did (especially the one where I unplugged the device and leave the battery to die out), but it seems modern laptops have improved protection and don't get bricked like they used to back in the day. Cheers all!

@@bbbobbbo77 Thanks so much for the detailed write-up. Do you mind if I add it to the description, not as a definitive solution, but as one anecdotal response from their support? I would preface it with the suggestion to contact HP support for the reader's specific model.

[@bbbobbbo77]

@@accessrandom Not at all, go ahead, by all means! That's the reason I took the trouble to write all the details, because I remember how desperate I was and frantically looking all over the net in hope for a workaround, in my mind always the horrific thought that I had just thrown away 900 euros... (bought it on a very good offer, priced down from 1400 euros).
