    is there something wrong with the f21 bios? my dv5t shuts down after 20 minutes of use after I flashed it in. To top it off, the only reason i installed it was because a hp csr guy said it would increase battery life!

    How do i revert back?

    could you describe "shuts off". Do you mean it just like turns off as if you pulled the power plug or does it like shut off in Windows showing "Windows is Shutting Down" or something.
    And btw, you cannot revert BIOSes back, unless you send it back to HP for a repair, which I absolutely do not recommend
