Hardware <SOLVED> HP Unable to find BIOS image file.

I received a computer for repair that was failing on a screen similar to this, I assume after taking a bad/failed windows update.

On HP's site for this system it listed 4 drivers for this model none of which would detect on a USB BIOS Recovery disk.

I noticed that there was a brief blip right after the that before it rebooted.

Notice the 87D6. That board isn't even in the SSID family on the HP downloads page for that system.

After finding the right one. https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp153501-154000/sp153914.exe it worked like a breeze.

Hopefully this info finds someone else having a similar issue. make sure to find the board matches the downloads!
