Hi, I hope someone could suggest something I may have overlooked, after upgrading my HP 2114TX entertainment notebook to bios version 1C the latest available from hp's website i now get acpi blue screen errors when trying to boot either windows xp or windows 7 on my dual boot notebook, a dos usb boots okay to command prompt, any linux boot also fails, and phoenix crisis disk doesnt do anything, windows + B while booting it appears to scan the USB but won't trigger a reflash it simply restarts after a bit, i read about .sig files but dont have or know where to locate tgem for my model, which is 3659 i tried .bin .rom .fd is there something I have overlooked? Do I need to order a replacement bios any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance Blake
Please post the link to the BIOS you are using. I can check and see if you are using the right recovery name once I have a copy of the image.

Thankyou for your reply TheWiz this is my first bios update that has gone very wrong, here are further details as requested
HP Pavillion DV6 2114TX
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...98614#N695
Bios F.1C A direct download
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48501-49000/sp48953.exe
I have been trying the past few weeks to resolve it, I initially came across this thread as the bios is the same,
http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-Te...63CF1C-bin
I have even tried using camiloml's bios package without success, and unfortunately there are no dos based tools that will allow for reflashing, flashrom, phlash, flashit and uniflash.
Inside the bios download package are 2 .bin files, 363CF1C.bin & 3658F1C.bin, and if I am not mistaken one is for intel video and the other nvidia, mine is the nvidia, I have tried all possible combinations from the below platform.ini using .bin .fd .rom without success in the root of a usb stick, one interesting thing is with andy's tool it shows the recovery filenames as E.BIN C.BIN C.BIN.
I have also tried this without any luck, and I do not have or know where to obtain any .sig files or what the bios should be named exactly for the HP_TOOLS, Bios, Current, New, Previous method, as I can boot into the EFI System Diagnostics from a usb using F2 with the files present, any suggestions and insight are most welcome.
Thanks in advance Blake
