Is it using 8400m gs?
If it is, only way to fix is replace motherboard, but the problem will occur again sooner or later.
This is nvidia fault.

The problem stem from HP poor design mostly... Just manage to repair one lappy, dv2x00... there is about a 1mm gap between the heat sink and nvidia's GC chip. HP used a "silicon pad like" thingy to bridge the gap. So for a year or more of cooking the nvidia chip it disassociate from the M/B.. All kinds of errors and symptoms associated with the GC will appear.

Reheating the M/B at around the solder melting temperature (around 200 C) may reconnect the disconnected connections. Manage to get one working again. With out access to a heat gun, I used the oven/baking method.

Used a thin aluminium shim to bridge the gap the heatsink and nvidia GC chip to ensure proper heat transfer.
