    I have an HP Envy 15 1100-CTO
    I just updated the BIOS I used to have the factory bios it was the old F.18 I updated to the F.2A everything was fine I did all the steps that it sayed didnt turn off, open a program anything waited till finished
    After that when I turned it On afther the flashed I cant see any videos!! BUT I can play games! But cant see any video
    When I want to see a video on Windows Media Player it just Show a Black Screen (On the video) the rest of the screen its fine its the video that shows black, I tryed with all players and no one works just shows a black screen on the video, rest of screen its fine
    This happen after the updated of the bios these are the stuffs that are wierd
    1) I can play games, but cant see any video (big problem for me)
    2) The CPUID doesnt show my graphics card but the GPU-Z shows all the info ok, and on the Device Manager shows my VGA too like everything its fine except the CPUID, CCC shows my VGA too
    3) When Im on the CCC panel on the section of VIDEO it doesnt show anything!! the little square its black and I cant configure it and something new appears on the All Setting Tab: Clone Mode that doesnt show it before; Theather Mode Settings that neither, and on Advanced Quality I cant move anything, if i move the value of the Edge-enhancement still remains on 1
    Please help does anyone happen this with the update of BIOS?.
