I ran that exe and during the install it says this diaagnostics uefi is accessed by pressing f2 at the system boot menu.  i cant get to the system boot menu becaus eall it does is sit there in flash 5.2.  it doesnt boot for me to press an f2

All of this has been a complete waste of time to try and salvage this motherboard.  all it does is beep and flash 5.2 and nothing else matters to it but its incessant flashing 5.2

Colour me confused.
Since saying all it does is blink and give the code 5.2 you have posted a screenshot. Was that a different machine ?

i did update the firmware with the help of windows update
Sounds sketchy.

I think windows did this to my machine
Unfortunately that sounds possible if by firmware you / HP mean the bios.

Have you seen this:
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup/Failed-BIOS-update-of-EliteDesk-705-G2/td-p/8941846
and the page linked from there:
https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/ish_3932413-2337994-16
It suggests several things to try and gives details on making a BIOS recovery USB as opposed to doing a regular BIOS update near the end, I expect you should start at the top and work down through the options.
You could also try removing unneeded components and swapping others if you can, e.g. try different RAM if you have another compatible stick.
Going directly from an old to new BIOS can cause the update to fail, it says.

Yes I have an 800 g4 with 8500t and an Rx 560 and then I bought the 705 g4 2400ge pro machine that did work and rebooted into windows even after Windows updated the BIOS with Windows update that mysteriously started flashing the next day while plugged in and powered off.  all these things say to run this exe and it installs files onto the usb that you are supposed to put in the usb drive but none of them work because they all require you to prees this key or that key at strtup vbut i have no startup.  as soon as i plug in the machine it starts beeping and flashing red 5 times and white 2 times and none of the recovery tool usbs work unless your machine turns on and mine does not it only beeps and does the flashing thing 5.2

It says you power on while pressing keys, on the page I linked, not after it starts. You have to click the + to reveal the procedure when you get to section 3, Manually Recover The BIOS.

i had missed the post  i did look at it since.  i'll remake the usb again with the bioses from 2018-2019 since that seems to be the era of my machine...

this looks like the link to the 2018-2019 era computers


https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp105501-106000/sp105879.exe


and this is the link to the 4 in one tool


https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp153501-154000/sp153574.exe


as i understand it the 4 in one tool makes the usb ready and then i still need the older bios from the other link copied over into the root of the usb drive.

All I got is 5.2 beeps and flashes.  I followed the links and read the pages and pressed the keys.  Nothing changed.  The only time something changed was the time I removed the processor then I got a beep about the processor not being present.  Put it back in and went back to the 5.2 beeps and flashes.

Doesn't sound promising. The final suggestion on that page is to contact HP customer support, but it's unknown whether an older machine would still be supported. Possibly because that page is for laptops there's some different procedure. It sounds like at least some HP machines are designed to boot without a BIOS, so long as you have a "rescue" version on a USB or drive partition, and you can initiate the rescue mode by some key press combo at startup. There might be different keys to press on a desktop that are not listed on that page.  But there are more possibilities, that rescue mode must be dependent on some embedded firmware somewhere, in order for it to be able to read the drive in the first place, I don't know where it would be located, but say it was all built in to the CMOS / BIOS chip, and that chip or section of the circuit has electrically failed, then even the fall back method won't work. After all, I think you said earlier you didn't upgrade the BIOS and the upgrade failed, this happened a while later.

5.2 is no valid firmware detected right?
So it is booting enough to check the firmware on the disk, right?

It should  be able to see the firmware on the usb, even if you think it is not booting.

It does nothing but beep and flash 5.2.  no keyboard press or start button does anything.  nothing works.
