Hi, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I have HP ENVY 17-2100e 3D Edition Notebook PC, first I render an architectural files, 15mb then it freeze & hang-up, I hard OFF & I turn it ON again, then I enter my password in BIOS & it don't accept it 3times then it say " System Error" I forgot the number, then I hard OFF again & turn it ON, all LED lights up from keyboard, sound & wifi key, caps lock only off NO BIOs just BLACK SCREEN. I remove even the RAM & the coin Battery. I heard only CPU fan working & the CD ROM, nothing HDD LED flashing. I use external monitor & pressing F4 still no BIOS window. I already change the HDD, also the OS to Win8, the HP_TOOLS is already gone, so I downloaded the HP System Environment and install it to USB, I download also the BIOs file in the HP download pages and I get this file inside SPXXXXX.exe 0159BF1C.bin I use Phoenix Tools to get the .DEC & .SIG file. I rename both like this: 0159BF1C.bin 0159BF1C.sig and I put it on Current & Previous Folder pressing the windows + B key, 5mins to an hour, nothing happen or sound.

"Just Freezing or bootLOCK" Any Help astovl
0159B.bin 0159B.sig edit: the real problem is he needs to reflow chipset or replace bad hdd. (test S.M.A.R.T. for your brand disk) first I render an architectural files, 15mb then it freeze & hang-up. = created lots of heat and BGA desolder a pin or 2 and now it locks up. easy test.. clean fans and heatsink too. if same issue occurs then find chipset location on mainboard and press on it with light pressure and see if it locks up then. or check ram and clean them with a pencil eraser
Tnx bro, I check this one... ...for my freelance job I use my Notebooks for modeling and rendering. tnx bro. I already do this bro but still. any different idea bro? I upload some video, you guys can see it: Just remove space 1. http: //youtu. be/T0tU1kKGxwU 2. http: //youtu. be/HptSQjEtoT4 3. http: //youtu. be/XB80XWRXikw and also not booting in USB. tnx
I think LatinMcG put his finger on the problem I had an HP DV7 once with the same symptoms I thought it was the infamous bga failure, so I replaced the motherboard didn't fix it then I replaced the cpu, that fixed it I'd change the cpu first. ...T
tnx bro... last nyt I disassemble again & changes the 3months old thermal compound I clean it until it shine then I put new thermal compound, after that I assemble again and when I hit the power button it blinks once, every time I press the power button. It is possible the CPU have problim?... when I check it to HP Code CPU not functional... 1yr & 10months only and his dead...
yes, it's clean... ..every time I press the ON and OFF the CAPS LED flash & HDD LED too... lastime I don't see that flashing... only the F9 & F10 keys are ON... any idea guys...
push on 3 chips 1 at a time with no power.. still pressing chip power it on. retry with cpu, and 2 main chips near it. if it works then u have to reflow (resolder them)
i try tomorrow... for now i stop accepting freelance job, more on in the office... i already push the CPU gently, but the Graphics Chip not yet... ...soo reflow is the best way? I heat up with the hair dryer? Edit: I try to push the chip but still no luck...
