Is this a Bios issue, or something worse?

This is my friends daughters computer, it is an HP laptop model 15-b142dx. The computer freezes up with a blue screen with lines on it at the login screen, after showing the following screens.

I do not have access to the computer right now, was wondering if this is a bios software problem that can be remedied fairly easily, or if it is something worse.

Pics of screens she sees:










Any help is appreciated. She needs this for school, and I am hoping that it is something like a bios update problem?

Do you know it happens during the BIOS update or before, or after? because from the last picture, the bios update was only going through 42%.
But try remove the battery to reset the laptop, if it does not work and ask HP for help.
