Hi x_LUIS_X and
Have you tried tapping the Del key when you power up?
Not all computers have the same BIOS set up so check http://www.hiren.inf...bios-boot-cdrom for the one you require.

just freeze and the screen go black but the cpu lights on and start to overheating

Can you hear the CPU fan functioning at any time?
I will be offline for a few hours shortly but will be back later so if you post back we can move on, possibly starting with cleaning out any heat trapping dust in the laptop.

Hi x_LUIS_X

and yes i try to get to the bios be pressing ESC

Not ESC the Delete key or are you saying that you have tried both!
Unfortunately if the operating system is damaged you will need a disk to reinstall it, you may be able to purchase a system restore disk from Hp for this. What OS was installed on the HDD?
Overheating is a well documented problem with the Hp DV7 http://www.google.co...iw=1264&bih=716
