Make sure that FITC can access the XML file.

Try opening the .cap file with UEFITool.

Tried to flash full image and faced an error, then extracted ME from .bin that Ferrous privided and flashed it with no problem. Now it looks like laptop is working well even after 30 minutes, intel MEI is listed in device manager and meinfo is working.
I've suffered this problem for nearly 1,5 years but haven't had time until now for fixing it and this forum is the only place I've found solution. So thanks a lot!
UPD: FITC error was exactly because of Russian letters.

So I am in the boat as others here. Random shut offs without warning. I have a 2014 Yoga 2 Pro. Intel Core i7 4500U @ 1.80GHz, Haswell ULT 22nm Technology. Motherboard - LENOVO Yoga2 (U3E1). I am on BIOS version 43. All things tell me MEI does not exist in my BIOS. I tried FTK to back up from DOS and got the msg "FTK reading fw status failed". Then used Universal BIOS Backup tool. Ran ME Analyzer 1.18.0 DB r98 against the bin file. Got msg "Files does not contain Intel Engine Firmware". I am sort of lost on where to go next. I have been in I.T. for 30+ years but this is something I have not messed with before. I am reasonably technically competent and have done a ton of hardware work but not at at this level. Don't feel like bricking the BIOS and needing to replace the chip. Any help or direction would be extremely appreciated. Never met a problem I could not solve and do not plan on starting now. Not sure how to share a file here but have the BIOS backup bin if needed.

Doesn't look good. Got "Error 201: [FPTw.exe] cannot be run on the current platform. Please contact your vendor." Not that I expected a different result, I also booted up a DOS from a USB key and tried the DOS version. BTW, I thought it was version 9.5 and tried that before with the same result. So I am stuck with pinmod or a programmer? Which would be easier considering my lack of your skills? I'm guess the pinmod?

Try 9.5 or 10.0

I tried 9.5 with the same results but let me be 100% sure and try both 9.5 and 10. It is better if I do it in Windows of booted into DOS or does it even matter?

Jumpin' johosafat! "FPT Operation Passed"! (DOS tools) Thank you!

I have a spi.bin file. Now I am excited!

Ran it against ME Analyzer. Identical to yours except FD: is Unlocked

Now what?

The operation passed! Okay, now what should be the appropriate version of ME Firmware and MEI to install? 9.5? Is there anything else I should install?

I did run meinfo and says the GBE region does not exist. MEBx Version is 0.0.0.000. GBe Version is Unknown. MEI Driver Version is 11.5.0.10.11.

Antitheft is present/enabled. This should be disabled, correct?
Capable Licensing Service, Protect Audio Video Path and Dynamic Application Loader are all present/enabled.

Thank you very much both plutomaniac and Ferrous! The computer has been running for over an hour without shutting off. Looks solved to me! I will follow thru with the last set of instructions. You guys are awesome! Thank you once again.

Okay so I have read until eyes are blurry. There is a ton to take in to understand what is needed to disable EOL AT safely. I tried but even had issues with the flash tool. The warning and possible pitfalls scare me.. This is just way out of my depth. Important to understand your limitations, right?! Anyway, if you happen to have time, if you could provide that .bin file with the EOL AT disabled it would be greatly appreciated. I am very uncomfortable in trying it myself even after a few hours of reading.
