    after attempting to upgrade the flash bios of my HP Pavilion dv8327cl I got the notorious "blue" screen with the following stop message:

    STOP: 0x000000D1, (0x00000081, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x86987888)

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL...
    I powered down and my display kept the image..
    I had to disconnect all power and pull the battery.

    Now when booting up I have no display at all..
    Anyone out there have an idea what it will take to "fix" this mess I'm in??? :eek:

    Try re-flashing to the origonal BIOS? or call support.


    Edit: you could also try using an external monitor, maybe it just your screen

    The unit has a "Don't boot" "play" feature that allows you to play DVDs without booting...no luck there..I'm flying blind

    this all came to be when trying to update the factory bios using
    sp33713.exe from an HP product site..Release Date: 2006-09-12 Version: F.17 A ...after following the 'directions' implicitly...I noticed the BSOD. the aforementioned STOP msg and the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL... message. I tried to power off the unit but unit would not 'shut down'..until I pulled power and the battery....BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE
