The BIOS is the first software to run after turning on the computer. If the BIOS on your computer becomes corrupted, the computer fails to boot to Windows.

The BIOS can be corrupted during normal operation, through environmental conditions (such as a power surge or outage), from a failed BIOS upgrade, or damage from a virus. If the BIOS is corrupted, the system automatically attempts to restore the BIOS from a hidden partition when the computer is restarted. This document covers other steps to restore the BIOS if the automatic BIOS restoration does not work.

If you experience any of the following symptoms after restarting the computer, recover the BIOS.

• Windows does not start and the caps lock or num lock keys blink, or the computer beeps 2 times

• Power light or charging light continues to blink

• A message displays

• The computer stops at a black or blank screen when powered on

• The computer turns on and you might hear the internal fan, but the display is blank and Windows does not start

Note:

For business computers, your IT department or local IT service might manage BIOS settings. Confirm this if you cannot access BIOS settings or restore the BIOS.

Reset the Embedded Controller

In some cases, the computer cannot boot to Windows because the data in the Embedded Controller (EC) is corrupted. Use this procedure to reset the EC.

1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord.

2. Press and hold the power button for 11 seconds.

The computer turns on and the EC is reset.

If this does not recover your computer, see Reset the CMOS.

Reset the CMOS

In some cases, the automatic BIOS recovery fails because the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) data is corrupted. The CMOS stores BIOS settings. Use this procedure to reset the CMOS and recover the BIOS.

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Press and hold the Windows + V keys, and then simultaneously press and hold the power button. After 2 to 3 seconds, continue to press and hold the Windows + V keys, but release the power button.

3. When the CMOS Reset screen displays or you hear beeping sounds, release the Windows + V keys.

   At the completion of a successful CMOS Reset, a message similar to the following one is displayed.

   

4. Press enter to restart the computer.

Recover the BIOS

If your computer BIOS still does not reset, you can try to recover the BIOS using a key press combination or a USB recovery drive.

Recover the BIOS using a key press combination

Learn how to recover the BIOS using a key press combination.

Many HP computers have an HP BIOS Restore tool that might be able to recover the BIOS from an earlier version and restore basic function. This tool might not be able to recover the BIOS, depending on the cause of the corruption.

1. Turn off the computer and be sure that the AC adapter is connected to power.

2. Press and hold the Windows + B keys, and then simultaneously press the power button.

   

3. After 2 to 3 seconds, continue to press and hold the Windows + B keys, but release the power button. You might hear a series of beeps.

   The HP BIOS Update screen is displayed and the recovery begins automatically.

   

   If this recovery method fails, use another working computer to create a BIOS recovery flash drive to install the latest BIOS file.

Recover the BIOS using a USB recovery drive

If you are unable to recover the last working BIOS version, install a BIOS recovery file from the HP website using a USB flash drive.

Create a USB recovery drive

Use a second working computer with an active internet connection to create a BIOS recovery USB flash drive.

1. Get the product number for the original notebook that requires a BIOS recovery. This number is typically found on a label on the bottom of the notebook or on the box it shipped in.

2. Insert a blank USB flash drive into an available port on the second computer.

3. Go to the HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads page.

4. Navigate to the product page for your computer.

5. Select BIOS, and then review the details of the latest available version or the specific version recommended for the recovery. Confirm that it is the correct BIOS update before proceeding.

   CAUTION:

   Read the Details section to confirm that it applies to the computer. Installing the wrong BIOS could cause the computer to stop working.

6. Click .

7. Click Yes on the screen.

   

8. On the InstallShield Wizard window, click Next.

   

9. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.

   

10. In the HP BIOS Update and Recovery window, click Next.

    

11. Select Create Recovery USB flash drive, and then click Next.

    

12. Select your USB flash drive, and then click Next.

    

13. Wait while the BIOS files copy to the drive.

    

14. When message is displayed, click Finish.

    

15. If necessary, click Cancel to close the update utility.

    

16. Remove the USB flash drive from the computer.

Install the BIOS recovery file

Use the HP emergency BIOS recovery feature with the recovery flash drive to recover the BIOS.

1. Turn off the notebook that requires the BIOS recovery, and then wait 5 to 10 seconds.

2. Make sure that the AC adapter is connected to the notebook during the recovery process.

3. Insert the USB flash drive with the BIOS file into an available USB port on the notebook.

4. Press and hold the Windows + B keys, and then simultaneously press and hold the power button.

   On some notebook models, you instead might need to press and hold the Windows + V keys.

   

5. After 2 to 3 seconds, continue to press and hold the Windows + B keys, but release the power button. You might hear a series of beeps.

   • If a message is displayed that the computer improperly shut down or a boot problem is detected, follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the error.

   • If HP BIOS Update is not displayed or the issue persists, your computer might not support this function or there is a hard drive issue. Contact HP Customer Support for assistance.

   Note:

   The HP BIOS Update screen is displayed and the recovery begins automatically. Follow any on-screen prompts to continue the startup and complete the recovery.

BIOS is one of the most important components of your PC since it’s in charge of starting your PC and checking your hardware.

Unfortunately, problems with BIOS can occur, and they can prevent your system from booting.

BIOS corruption can be a serious problem, but there are few ways to fix that on your Windows 10 PC.

BIOS corruption, how to fix it on Windows 10?

Fix – BIOS corruption Windows 10

Solution 1 – Reflash your BIOS

If you’re having problems with corrupted BIOS, you might be able to fix the problem simply by reflashing your BIOS.

Updating your BIOS is advanced and potentially dangerous process, therefore be sure to check your motherboard manual for detailed instructions on how to flash your BIOS.

We also wrote an article on how to flash your BIOS on Windows 10, so be sure to check it out for some instructions.

Solution 2 – Remove your motherboard battery

According to users, you might be able to fix the problem with corrupted BIOS simply by removing the motherboard battery.

By removing the battery your BIOS will reset to default and hopefully you’ll be able to fix the problem.

In order to remove motherboard battery you need to open your computer case, and in most cases that will violate your computer’s warranty, so keep that in mind.

If your PC is under warranty, it might be better to take it to the official repair center and ask them to fix the problem.

If you decide to perform this process by yourself, simply remove the battery and wait for 5-10 minutes for battery to drain completely.

After your battery is drained, insert it back to your motherboard and check if the issue is resolved. Some users are suggesting to replace your battery with a new one so you might want to try that as well.

If you’re using a laptop, be sure to remove both your laptop battery and motherboard battery to reset BIOS.

Some users also reported that you need to set your HDD mode in BIOS to AHCI after resetting your BIOS, so be sure to do that.

Find everything there is to know about your motherboard with the help of these tools!

Solution 3 – Reset your BIOS

According to users, you can fix this issue simply by resetting your BIOS.

There are several different ways to do that, and probably the simplest one is to enter BIOS and restore it to default values. To do that, follow these steps:

While your PC boots keep pressing Del or certain F key to enter BIOS. Usually there will be a message saying to press a certain key to enter SETUP.

If you can’t find this key, check your motherboard manual to see which key is used to enter BIOS. Once you enter BIOS, look for Load Setup Defaults option.

This option should be located in the Exit section. Select Load Setup Defaults and save changes. Keep in mind that this process might be different depending on the version of BIOS that you’re using.

Another way to reset your BIOS is to change jumper positions on your motherboard. Most motherboards have a jumper next to the BIOS chip that allows you to reset it. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Turn off your PC and disconnect all cables.
2. Open the PC case.
3. Look for a jumper that has CLEAR CMOS or something similar written next to it.
4. Move the jumper to the clear position.
5. Turn on your PC and turn it off.
6. Now move the jumper back to its original position.

Keep in mind that you need to place the jumper in the appropriate position in order to reset your BIOS.

If you place it incorrectly you can cause permanent damage to your PC, so be extra cautions.

In order to avoid causing damage, we strongly suggest that you check your motherboard manual for detailed instructions on how to change the jumper configuration. Another way to reset your BIOS is to remove your motherboard battery.

We already explained this process in our previous solution, so be sure to check it out.

Solution 4 – Remove your graphic card

Many PCs have both integrated and dedicated graphic card, and users reported that you can fix the problem with corrupted BIOS simply by removing your graphic card and connecting your monitor to the integrated graphic card.

Keep in mind that by removing the dedicated graphic card you might be violating your computer warranty.

Solution 5 – Use Windows Key + B key combo

1. Turn off your PC.
2. Press and hold Windows Key + B.
3. While keeping these keys pressed, press and hold the Power button for 2 or 3 seconds.
4. Release the Power button but keep Windows Key + B pressed until BIOS update screen appears or until you hear a beeping sound.

5. HP BIOS Update screen will now appear. Wait until the process is finished.
6. After your BIOS is recovered, select Continue Startup button to complete the process.

Solution 6 – Use HP System BIOS Update Utility tool

According to users, you can fix this issue on HP computers by using HP System BIOS Update Utility tool. To do that, go to HP’s website and download the latest version of BIOS for your computer.

You might have to enter your PC’s model number or product number in order to download BIOS, so keep that in mind. After downloading new version of BIOS, you need to create recovery USB drive by following these steps:</p>

1. Connect an empty USB drive to your PC.
2. Double click the BIOS file that you downloaded.
3. InstallShield Wizard will appear. Click Next.
