HP Elitepad 900 HSTNN-C75C running in boot circle after BIOS/Firmware update

Thanks for all your time mate. In the end I chose to give up on this. A fix for one thing led to an error in another... Never solved the touch function so the tablet is just a very expensive cutting board atm 🙂 Cheers!

If it's anything like our company's HP Eliterpad 900 G1's, then I suspect you've hit the Intel Thermal Driver Framework [terrible] driver upgrade that causes "shutdown after boot/login."

If you have a restore point prior to the Intel Thermal Drive Framework, restore to that, check for updates, HIDE the [terrible] "Intel Thermal Driver Framework" update, and complaint to M$ / Intel that this hasn't been bleepin' fixed yet, years later.

I really hate that [BLEEP]IN' driver update, and just ran into it again today.

If this helps anyone, great. 🙂

Not 100% sure if related or not...

also, someone had said that if you didn't have a Restore Point prior to the Intel Thermal Framework driver update, you could go into Safe Mode and "roll back" everything under the "Intel Thermal Framework" to the "prior driver version" and that might fix the shutdown on restart issue? But, if it tries to update the driver again in Windows update, you'd want to hide it.

As to touch screen issues, that I don't know...?

Have you installed HP Support Assistant, updated it to the most current version, and checked for any updates?
