We've seen this problem with the nVidia chipset in more HP laptops than we care to remember. As to the dv2125 bios issues, a bios can have a problem, which is why the manufacturers update those updates. Generally speaking with a bios I would never update it unless there is a problem. The rule “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” definitely applies. With the corrupted DLL file - That’s more of a general computer issue than a problem specific to HP laptops. DLL’s can become corrupt from many things, bad hard drives and viruses for starters. The easiest way to fix a corrupted DLL file would be to reinstall whatever program that it belongs to. If it is a Windows specific file, then reinstall Windows. The issue you are having with the dv9260 is a common issue.

The 9260 has the classic NVidia failure. the 2125 has what appears to be both a bios problem and corruption of a dll file on the hard drive. Are these common issues?
