You can check what BIOS you have now from inside the BIOS if you are not certain. Otherwise I guess you can dump the bios using fptw -bios -d bios.bin and check manually by searching for $SIG with a hex editor.

If you have indeed rolled back to F60 and the problem persists, it's some kind of BIOS corruption. Other systems are having this issue so it must be HP's fault one way or the other.

The Flash Descriptor is locked so we cannot reflash the ME Region just to test if that's the issue (don't think so, the problem occurred with a BIOS update at which the ME was not touched at all).

The only thing I can think of would be to reflash the clean HP BIOS region as I said here which I don't think will cause issues other than loosing some serial numbers etc but I cannot guarantee that.

If these do not bring results, only HP may be able to help.

Can I verify the driver in the device manager?

@ megatron:

You are right, you can use ME Analyzer to view your current firmware & driver versions. There is a separate tool provided called MEA_Info which does exactly that. You can run this via the MEA_Run executable or manually via a command prompt with administrator privileges.

It is possible that these monitoring utilities were sending commands to the MEI interface and thus you could not do both at the same time. Before flashing, it's always best to disable everything running in the background either way. Anything that could interfere and cause issues.
