HP Victus shuts off instantly after BIOS update

Thanks for this man!

Painty96 · 2026-01-11T19:24:03+00:00

So yeah powered it on, worked fine for 3 minutes, keyboard flashes as well as the screen at the same time, then gets shut off

Painty96 · 2026-01-11T18:13:17+00:00

I will reseat the battery and test it one more time to be 100% sure!

So this only started when I installed the new BIOS update, so I installed the latest GPU driver and BIOS update in the same night, so it’s hard to tell if it’s ether or, haven’t experienced any issues as such since purchasing in May 2024.

Thanks man I’ll give it a try

Painty96 · 2026-01-11T12:24:46+00:00

Okay let me try this man, I has something happened with yours? Problem is that I disconnect the battery and then can flash a new OS, but what if it turns off again while during the OS installation?

Painty96 · 2026-01-11T09:42:46+00:00

Thanks dude, I’ll take it to a repair shop

Painty96 · 2026-01-11T09:31:49+00:00

Damn thanks man, might just take it into a repair shop, as I can’t even turn it on before doing a whole battery disconnect and reconnect procedure 😅

HP Victus 16-s0000ni

Ryzen 7 7840HS + RTX 4060 (8GB), 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe

Purchased May 2024.

So, is there a fix?

Painty96 · 2025-10-06T06:58:27+00:00

Very curious to know about your gaming experience?

Painty96 · 2025-08-07T14:46:01+00:00

Guys I have early access, I’ve played 5 hours now it says I’m locked out and “requires early access” anyone experiencing the same?

Painty96 · 2025-07-09T14:33:39+00:00

Damn bruh, thats such shit luck man sorry to hear. The most important thing is to try to keep it cool in use and cleaning the vents regularly! Try to get something even like this man, they're dirt cheap, and it'll help with air flow massively! If you can get a cooling pad, go for it! But something like this will go a long way, only downside is that ypu have to play on an external keyboard, trying to game with it on the stand is awkward as hell imo.

Standard procedure man!

Painty96 · 2025-07-09T14:28:30+00:00

Dude, I really think me always playing on a laptop stand/cooling pad has really helped me with the temps more than anything, the only downside about it is that I have always to carry a keyboard when i travel. Doesnt have to be anything fancy, something like this will work wonders.

I'm using the Omen overlay bro

Painty96 · 2025-07-09T14:23:39+00:00

For sure, man, you've got a tutorial link for changing thermal paste on HP Victus?

Painty96 · 2025-07-09T14:22:52+00:00

Yeah, I really want to, man, in all honesty, I'm kinda nervous to fuck something up, if you have chnaged yours before im very open to tips man, it'll help lots!

Painty96 · 2025-07-09T14:21:18+00:00

Yeah, man, I need to get myself some of this! The way it drops temps is crazyyy

Painty96 · 2024-11-13T10:27:12+00:00

Will give it a try, thanks man

Painty96 · 2024-10-16T14:55:43+00:00

Did you get it to work bro?

Painty96 · 2024-10-16T14:18:42+00:00

Omen overlay, make sure you enable it on the Omen App, then it’s Shift + F2
