As your PC's most important startup program, it performs a POST (Power-On Self-Test) to ensure all connected devices are operating correctly before loading the operating system. BIOS also handles low-level system functions like: Booting Hardware initialization System clock and time Hardware component configuration System security

Answer (1 of 2): Thanks for A2A. If your F10 key is not working then F2 and F12 is the key for bios setting and also the Del key. But i prefer for F2 or F12 because some motherbords didn't recognise Del key for bios setup.

r/techsupport on Reddit: How can I access the BIOS on this new HP laptop I just bought.
January 24, 2024 -
I just bought a laptop through Amazon, which came with Windows 11 installed.
I want to get rid of that. I have an Ubuntu image burned onto a USB stick, but it won't boot from that by default.
When I reboot the machine, it shows no instructions for accessing the BIOS, just the stupid hp logo. I tried tapping both del and f12 repeatedly, to no avail. A quick google search suggested using f2 or f12 upon seeing the logo screen. I did try both, but to no avail.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Start up PC to windows. Then, hold the shift key down, click the shut down icon, and click restart. Hold shift for a few more seconds for good luck while it restarts. You'll get a menu of options, you want something along the lines of "boot options"

r/Hewlett_Packard on Reddit: HP Laptop not loading BIOS Recovery, black screen.
December 18, 2023 -
I have an HP Probook 450 G1.
The laptop does not want to turn on, I can hear the fan spinning but there is no display (black screen). The wireless button is glowing orange and the caps lock light is continuously flashing. After some troubleshooting I discovered that the continuous flashing is a BIOS error, I replaced the CMOS battery and tried to turn it on again, it does the same as before - fan spins, wireless button glowing orange but no display.
The difference this time is that the caps lock button only blinks 3 times. I did some further troubleshooting it appears that the blinking indicates a corrupted BIOS.
I followed HP's advice and downloaded their BIOS update and recovery software and loaded it onto a flash.
They say that you should hold Win + B keys in while the flash is connected and press the power button, this will load the BIOS recovery program from the flash and restore the BIOS.
The problem is that none of the key combinations are working, I tried Win + B, Win + V and just the B button (these other 2 combinations from a YouTube video), it does not work.
Another suggestion was to connect a bootable flash with an OS on and try to enter the BIOS that way but that also did not work - the display remains black, I cant do anything.
Another thing to mention is that after a while of trying to get the recovery mode loading the caps lock stopped blinking 3 times. It does not blink anymore with a normal boot, or even with the USB drive in.
Now it's just black screen and orange wireless button. I though maybe the screen just died but I am not sure how to test that properly, tried VGA and HDMI cable to an external monitor but it just says "no source found".
It's worth noting the laptop came with Win 8, but it currently has Ubuntu installed.
other things I tried:
•hard reset
•boot without battery
•remove and reseat RAM.
•boot without HDD instated.

Als je HP-laptop niet eens in BIOS-recovery komt en je alleen een zwart scherm ziet, dan lijkt het erop dat hij al vastloopt tijdens het vroege opstartproces, nog voordat er überhaupt beeld wordt weergegeven. Dat kan verschillende oorzaken hebben, maar meestal zit het in iets basaals aan de hardwarekant. Denk aan een probleem met het geheugen, een slechte verbinding van de SSD of harde schijf, of een fout in de voeding of het moederbord. Als er geen BIOS-scherm verschijnt, gaat het vaak mis nog voordat het systeem echt kan initialiseren. Wat veel mensen als eerste proberen is een volledige power-reset: alles loskoppelen, de laptop spanningsloos maken, eventueel de accu verwijderen als dat kan, even wachten en daarna opnieuw proberen op te starten. Ook kan het helpen om met zo min mogelijk hardware te booten, bijvoorbeeld door één RAM-module te gebruiken als er meerdere in zitten. Een defecte geheugenmodule kan er al voor zorgen dat je helemaal geen beeld krijgt. Een extern scherm aansluiten is ook een simpele check om uit te sluiten dat het probleem alleen bij het interne display ligt. Als al deze stappen niets opleveren en je nog steeds een compleet zwart scherm hebt zonder piepjes, foutcodes of duidelijke signalen van leven, dan wordt de kans groter dat het probleem dieper zit. In dat geval kom je al snel uit bij het moederbord, de BIOS-chip of de voedingssectie, en dat is lastig zelf te testen zonder vervangende onderdelen of meetapparatuur. Wat heb je tot nu toe al geprobeerd en zie je helemaal geen activiteit bij het opstarten, zoals lampjes of ventilatoren, of lijkt hij wel te starten maar zonder beeld?

Hi Himanshu
I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this.
Start your laptop, then on the HP logo screen, repeatedly press the Esc key or Fn + the Esc key
On the resulting menu, you should be able to access BIOS on that laptop by pressing F10 or Fn + F10.
If you still cannot access BIOS, what error (if any) are you seeing?
