laptop got bricked (freeze at dell logo) i managed to unbrick it but now am facing a problem...... let me explain what and how it happened.
the brick happened when i was installing win 10 using usb.
used rufus and officia microsoft.iso
it finished copying files from usb as in picture below. when it finishes it automatic restarts your pc mine did.

when it restarted it showed dell logo the blue bar filled up and froze.
could not enter to bios or pressing any key had no effect. (bricked)
i search online and found no information about this problem.
so i tougth motherboard was dead so i decided to get another one. besides i accidentally broke the fan socket
motherboard worked ok. i had to update from 1909 to 21h2.
instaled 21h2. run windows update and it broke stuff in windows so decided to clean install one more time and not use windows update.
so funny thing happened. it got bricked again yes what luck. doing exact samething it did to other motherboard. it copied files from usb restarted showed dell logo bar filled up then froze..... what.??
ok this time i search for an answer and came up to a guy in a forum that had the same model laptop as me and had the exact same problem as me.in his thread he mentioned he fixe it with ch34a1 programmer. and in there they provided both .bin files bios and EC. but i read that he was having a problem about intel managment engine in recovery at boot.
ok so i bought me a programmer. am a newbie. was trying to get it fixed as i do not have a job due to panic attacks. and already spent money on pc.
i asked for help but some stuff i didnt understand. so i decided to flash bios.
first i tried reading the old board chips and i did that. when i was trying to read on the new board i read 1 the other i could not as the clips would not grab chip anymore. i tried to grab it but by doing so i accidentally clipped 2 or 1 smd pic https://imgbb.com/w0SMKcF
smd have already been fixed. i used smd from old board and have them solder to the other.. (just want to make sure i tell all that happened)
ok so i decided to flash bios and fix the brick. read and watched many videos. the way i did this was to have same guy that solder the smd to desolder both chips and have them solder to programmer and again have them soldered back t motherboard.
tried asprogrammer 141 if am not mistaken. but couldnt find out how to verify it was flashed.
so used CH341A programm v1.29
had already back ups.. so read/delete/then write. both chips bios and EC.
have them back on the motherboard and put it back together... power it on
bricked is fixed. now i can enter bios and boot to windows (SORT OF)
these are the files i used. someone share dump files M4600dump.rar

Dell Precision M4600 Brooks 15 EVLT MBF Rev A00 Nvidia N12P-Q3-A1 Bios + EC
so i used the one from this forum M4600dump.rar
but the problem a facin is this.
clean install win10 21h2 boots to desktop all works. (create a restore point)
restart pc all ok... shut down pc. then turn on. won 10 logo spining circle it freezes.
enter advanced recovery.. enter safe mode.. then do a restart from safe mode.. boots to desktop all work. turn off then on. freeze at spinning circle.
enter advanced recovery.. use created restore point.. restarts.. boots to desktop all works.. trn off then off freeze at spinning circle.
now if am on desktop and update drivers for both hd 3000 and nvidia quadroo 2000m. do a restart all works. can run benchmark. but power off then on.. i get blank screen when windows starts to load.
so as long as boot from created restore point or enter safe mode and not turning off pc all is fine. but when i turn off and turn on then problem is it freezes using gneric drivers or updated drivers get blank screen.
i dont know if this problem is bios related.
