Hi:

 

Your notebook does not need a BIOS update to support 2 x 2 GB of memory.

 

That is for the older dv6000 - dv6400 models with the older Intel 945 chipset.

 

Yours has the Intel 965 chipset.

 

You are only supposed to update the BIOS when running Windows Vista.

 

Running a BIOS update in W7 may wreck your PC.

 

Here is the link to the last BIOS update HP released for your notebook...

 

Info file:

Exe file:

HP removed the previous BIOS files--F.22/F.23

 

The BIOS file I posted contains all of the updates from the previous versions.

 

F.5A is newer than any of the ones you listed.

 

There is nothing further that I, or anyone else can do to help you.

Unfortunately, I would have no idea why your notebook isn't booting right into Windows.
