Hi all,

Long story short got this laptop which is missbehaving :)

Its Vista HP Pavilion Dv 2500. My customer FLASHED BIOS and updated NVIDIA Graphics card. Since then it doest boot into normal mode. Blue screen with error 0x00000124 comes on. I know its NVidia issue so i removed the drivers and it boots up fine on standart VGA. But every time i install drivers same happens again. Should i just Trash and reload or any of you guys know how to fix this issue?

Let me know if u need more info

Thanks for your help

I assume, there were more errors, but all the same, about nvlddmkm.sys?

Where are you getting the driver from, HP, or nVidia?
What was the reason for flashing BIOS?

[LarryCCC]

There was only one error.

I tried both HP and Nvidia drivers and it was still the same.

Yesterday I flashed BIOS again and it seems it cured it for now.

I thinh flashing bios is part of HP updating software on some laptops thats why he done it. Knowing him (SPECIAL) he must of turned laptop off while flashing Bios or smth.

[LarryCCC]

Same issue came back up again after few hours.

Restoring to factory settings

This drives me bonkers :(

I've never heard of such a thing. Flashing BIOS is very rare and it's done only under certain circumstances.
Keep us posted, though...:)

[LarryCCC]

Flashing Bios is not automatic update. Its some software whith HP laptops which recommends you to update BIOS after some time.

By the way i reloaded the laptop to factory settings and theres still the same issue :(

Laptop just goes to sleep mode at random times and then resuming windows. Very very strange.

By the way Broni i found your posts on the same error as mine on Geekstogo website and by the looks of it that guy gave up aswell.

Im not giving up just yet.

[Broni]

In any case, BIOS flashing should be only used, if necessary, for some reason, not just because some time passed by.
Did you eventually restore the laptop to factory settings?

[LarryCCC]

Hp knows about hardware issues with this laptop so they released BIOS update to fix it. And of course it only made it worst. Anyways they are bunch of retards. I did reload the laptop back to factory settings but it still decides to hibernate for no reason whatsoever.

Hp Pavilion range is just crap tbh. Motherboards keep overheating on every 2 laptops we sell. They even extended the warranty like XBOX 360.

Thanks for your help Broni.

Laptop has been collected now.
Sure think I will not miss that laptop


Weeeeekend

[Broni]

Alrighty then :)
