2.14 Bios Acer W700P bug

Hi, I've updated the bios for my Acer W700P, downloaded the file "BIOS_Acer_2.14_A_A.zip" and after the update process went well, now the windows Task Manager is always show 100% cpu usage that is not correct, because other processes such as sysinternals process manager explore shows the current CPU usage

does anyone else have this problem? I would go back to the 2.13 bios but the updater complains saying that he cannot go back to an older version of bios

BIOS v2.13 work very well, as the only issue was that the turbo boost throotling besides that everything was ok, so how do I go back to the bios v2.13

* Update *.

I found what was causing the problem, after the update to the bios that the registry someway got corrupted, so I did a full registry to restore from a backup in addition to 2 weeks and now it's just the way it was when installing bios v2.13

Task manager problem solved.

  • BIOS ACER v3 - 571 G problem!

    Hello Acer first of all, my English is bad. I have a laptop ACER v3 - 571 G with i5 - 3210M 2.5 GHz and GT 640 M + 8 GB of RAM and I am very disssapointed with my laptop.

    ACER with 2.21 bios is the worst bios that I've ever seen. Laptop has 85-95 C with this bios and it stops at stake, in surfing, any judgments just randomly.

    There is no option in this ridiculous BIOS, I can't set the fan speed and I can't disable disk or turn it off, and I can not start USB because the laptop does not react on F2 at startup only when I restart, but then, may not realize that it is the USB into the slot.

    1. the drive is 100% its first use 2-4 minutes.

    2. very unstable with very bad BIOS Acer laptop and I had Flash the BIOS of the random guy and the book it is 1000 times better as with Acer bios!

    3. the battery does not work with BIOS Acer but it works with modded BIOS.

    4. I paid 250 EUR for the new motherboard because the laptop is turned off and does not start again. The service said it was 'the unknown liquid' to the motherboard.

    So, now with the new motherboard after 3 months, he broke again and it randomly stops himself. It is not because as warm-ups it stops when I open video-game-chrome or something.

    What can I do? I really don't want to send the laptop to the service they will again tell me that it's my fault because they can't repair or accept my guarantee.

    Is this normal for 680EUR + 250 with new mothetboard? I thought that Acer is a solid company by comparing with HP/ASUS, but I made a huge mistake.

    THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY!

    This is what I said, turn off fast boot and you can access BIOS whenever you want. With this option enabled, Windows does not full stop, just a mix between the Hibernate and shutdown. Here is the explanation of this process, and how to disable this - http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6320-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-8-a.html after that you should be able to access BIOS even when you turn off your laptop. This is normal with Windows 8 and keep in mind after that this system will begin in a few seconds more.

    Also, I think you should check your HARD disk because it may be corrupted, download CrystalDiskInfo and check it. If so, try to check for errors like here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors if it was caused by areas defective Windows needs to get rid of it.

    I do not know what causes overheating, I've got 2.21 BIOS and no problem.

    Hello...

  • HP Envy 700-074 model BIOS corruption, or bug, etc.

    Hello

    My name is Patrick Barker, and I'm an analyst of the blue screen of death core Dump. During the last week, I ran into two users having a HP Envy 700-074 computer and experience the same exact bug check. The first time I met such a bug check, I imagined that the user may have simply received a system with a bad BIOS, things like this happen in computers all the time. Well, the user contacted HP and replaced it with the exact same model course, and he had the same problem.

    Right at that time, I discovered another user knows exactly the same problem as the previous user. With a consistency like this, I wonder if there is a corruption of the BIOS and/or the bug associated with this particular model?

    What is happening is that there is a frequency of verification of bug ACPI_BIOS_ERROR (a5) .

    This bug check indicates that the BIOS Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) computer is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification.

    Error checking A5, {1000, 0, 80001000, 25}

    The 1st setting has always been far 1000.

    1000 = ACPI_BIOS_USING_OS_MEMORY.

    ACPI has been a fatal error during the processing of a region of memory operation. The region of operation memory tried memory card which has been attributed to the use of the OS.

    This bug check usually appears in these 2 scenarios:

    1 BIOS bug / damaged and must be resolved with an update or go back to the manufacturer.

    2 Rootkit (not very common).

    In our case, it is #1. Exactly, what is happening? I can't be quite too sure due to having to have a version controlled ACPI.sys to debug such a question and with what is happening on another system user, I won't use them as guinea pigs. However, this seems a general problem from what I can tell about this model BIOS. For reference, a BIOS update is not currently available for this specific model, so not quite sure that the end user can do, especially if their systems of replacement of the same model have the same question over and over again.

    -----------------

    Two threads where it occurs, I will update if I see anymore:

    1. Windows 8 crashes after being in the mode 'sleep' - Microsoft Community

    2. brand new computer under Windows 8 - 2 accidents in first day - Microsoft Community

    Why I write this here? Well, on the one hand, I can't find a place to contact HP and / r supports directly without really own a HP machine. So, with that said, two questions:

    1. is there a way to contact HP directly on this issue?

    2. is it and/or any other person with this specific model of HP's have this problem?

    Kind regards

    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,

    This forum is mainly of volunteers, and HP has no official presence here.    I ask that your question is raised.  In the meantime, you or your client should open an official ticket with HP support.  These PC is still covered by the warranty.

    HP support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.

  • Android and Windows 8 DualBoot - Acer W700P

    Hi folks, I'm David from South America and I have this great Tablet since last year, that's great, but I would like to install android and Android, so that I can dualboot windows 8.

    I tried to install the latest 'android - 4.2.2_r1 - ia2"use"Generic UEFI Installer", I followed the steps as shown in the quick start page, but I found problems between the path, the first was a message while trying to start mode EUFI saying that the:

    DiskName % has been blocked by the current security policy

    then I read somewhere that the implementation of a supervisor password would allow me to change the settings of the UEFI, within those parameters has been an option for select trust uefi files, browsing the UEFI USB created in the quickstar page and select all the files in a folder called efi EFI, I could then start the first screen of the installer , and then you try the manual installation option gives me an error and get stuck there...

    I know that some people were succesfull install Android from the page open source intel so please could you share the steps to follow to install Android and have dualboot with the large W700

    Please share your comments, because for sure, there are a lot of people willing to try the DualBoot - Android and windows 8

    Disable your security strategy uefi on yout start menu, assign an administrator password and disable the security check. DualBOOT android AI on w700 has been done successfully.

    You are really funny to type cuban_cigar. And you are telling stories. But I want some of your stories were real and not made up from thin air.

    You posted links to the son how to get rid of the BIOS password ok that nice, but it would be nice if you had read EACH case before posting something like this. In most cases, the user has lost the password!

    I've got three different models of Toshiba laptops and set to update the BIOS on all laptops.
    Never ever had a BIOS password problem!

    I'm agree with Akuma and possibly that a single mobile model may be affected by unknown BIOS password problem.
    I noticed an assignment abut M70, but it seems that the ASP took free and new update of the BIOS should help.

    I also read in other forums that something like this happens also on mobile phones from OTHER manufacturers.
    So in your case, I would be very careful with some things that are not known to you or not really clearly for you because you confuse others here in the forum.

  • ACER ASPIRE 471 - E1: UPDATE THE BIOS CRASH

    HELLO, I NEED HELP ON THIS.

    I WAS updating THE BIOS ACER ASPIRE E1 - 471 VERSION 2.11 to 2.18 BUT GOT IN FAILURE, WITHOUT NORMAL MORE to IGNITE.

    WHEN UPDATING THE FILE ORIGINAL WITH THE HELP OF THE ACER SUPPORT WEB SITE, RESTART THE LAPTOP TO WINDOWS POWER ON A BACK PAGE AND DISPLAY IT ON THE SCREEN...

    UPTATING:

    TRUE BIOS VERSION: ZQS 2.11

    NEW VERSION OF BIOS: ZQS 2.18

    PROGRESS...: 0% AND SCOPE WITH A 100% SUCCESS

    AFTER THIS, THE LAPTOP REBOOT AGAIN AND POWER BLUE LED LIGHTS UP BUT NO SCREEN...

    AT THE START OF THE LAPTOP, HARD DRIVE MAKING NOISE OF POWER ON AND.

    NO SCREEN, THE COMPUTER PHONE IS FREEZE.

    ON THE BACK THE INFORMATION OF THIS LAPTOP, THE BOOK SAYS:

    Aspire E1-471-6683

    MODEL NO.: ZQT

    .....

    SNIDS: 31300078979

    So Original BIOS was ZQS but the model said ZQT?

    I have not found a repair for this model, so cannot move too much by myself.

    I found some instructions on the use of USB with the FCN + ESC + Power Buttom combo...

    The use of files with. FD extension inside the USB key.

    I tried 1 for the test and the thing happens as users said.

    Power Led flashes, USB Stick will blink for a few seconds, and then restart laptop.

    BUT STILL FREZZY.

    I think I use the wrog. FD file.

    ACER support website has none. This model in the FD file (or any other type of file, hit. EXE, a)

    You can with ACER Support me?

    Thanks, it is a client of the portable computer of mine, I'm kind of scared at the moment.

    OK, thanks for the reply.

    I got the sollution and will share with you now.

    [edited to conform to the guidelines]

    YOU WILL NEED TO FORMAT A USB STICK WITH FAT (16) PARTITION STYLE.

    -------

    NOW, THE SECRET OF. FD FILE

    YOU MUST PUT IN THE USB THIS FILE WITH THE EXTENSION. FD, BUT THE ACER DOWNLOAD SITE IS ENOUGH. EXE TO THE INSTALLATION, SO YOU GO ON ANOTHER COMPUTER (INCOMPATIBLE WITH ASPIRE E1 VERSION) AND RUN THE FILE...

    YOU RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE, BUT NOT CLICK NOW ON ANY BUTTON.

    NOW, OPEN WINDOWS EXPLORER AND GO TO C:\USERS\(USER ACCOUNT)\AppData\Local\temp\7zS4F0C.tmp

    INSIDE THIS FOLDER, YOU CAN GET THE ST. FD FILE (PERHAPS ZQS.) FD)

    THAT COPY ON USB KEY AND CLOSE THE ERROR MESSAGE. (FOLDER WILL DISAPEAR AFTER THAT)

    WITH THE FILE INSIDE OF THE SECONDARY KEY, FOLLOW THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

    BASICALLY:

    Steps for the USB storage device BIOS recovery

    To create a crisis USB key, perform the following steps:
    1. format the USB storage drive using the Quick Format option.
    2. save the ROM file (filename: ZQS.fd) in the root directory of the USB storage device. Make sure that there are no other file BIOS stored in the same directory.
    3. plug the USB storage on USB device.
    4. press the button, then connect power cable.
    5. the power button flashes once.
    6. press the Power button to start the CRISIS of the system mode.
    7. when the CRISIS is over, the system auto restarts with a possible BIOS.

    AFTER THAT

    8. update the latest BIOS version for this machine of normal BIOS flashing process.

    YOU MAY HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM LIKE ME, AFTER RECOVERING FROM CRISIS, BIOS NOW SEE THE ANY HARD DISK, SO YOU MUST UPDATE THE BIOS AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER TOOL LIKE HIRENSBOOT HELP FIXITURE MINI_XP.

    BUT IT IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION.

  • Acer Aspire 5742 G died. I think the BIOS is damaged because all I get is a blank screen.

    I was a heavy task on my other laptop and I wanted more RAM, so I decided out of the 4gigs of my Aspire 5742 G only to find out that this is not not a 4 × 1 GB of RAM (instead a 2x2gb DDR3). All I've done is out of RAM, I saw that it was only 2gigs and put in (nothing else, I know my way around computers quite). Then I thought to share work on the network, only to find out that my Aspire 5742 G will not start. Nothing. Not eveb the Acer logo appears. Access to the hard drive led is always off (not a single blink). Terrified. I thought it would be to display, but like I said the HARD drive light flashes once again.

    So I jumped to Google. Discovered it probably a BIOS problem. So I downloaded the BIOS Acer will, comes to be welcomed with a ZIP file of gibberish. I have no idead how to use this ZIP to update my BIOS. The exe file is not good as the PC starts no and all other methods seem unlikely given the boot selection is not yet possible.

    Can someone please guide me to the right maybe average to refresh my BIOS?

    Thanks in advance,

    It may be almost impossible to diagnose a problem remotely, I hazard a guess and suggest that your problem has nothing to do with your BIOS.

    Given your description of your actions, I would recommend you check and double-check your RAM seats. Also, make sure there is no damage to the socket. There is also the probability that static was able to destroy the RAM. You may need to try known good RAM to exclude this possibility.

    It is not always possible to update a BIOS if there is a hardware problem.

    Of course, I can't risk a BIOS Setup until there is absolutely no doubt that a problem does not exist elsewhere. If an update attempt fails, you might find yourself worse. In short, make sure that your RAM and the seating is 100% before looking elsewhere. Your choice of courses.

  • How to upgrade the bios on my acer 255th?

    I can't find the update for this netbook.  I could check the current bios Acer V3.14 (DDR3), 10/01/2011 but goes around and on the acer support site to find the update.  Help!

    It's a very good question, actually.    I would have to engage in conjecture about why this particular message would appear in your error logs.  It happened after a fall of some sort, but I don't know what actually caused the crash.

    You do not sound as if the system crashes constantly...

    We do not ship systems with a CPU that does not appear in the definitions of the BIOS.  It is possible that a later BIOS update definitions to include additional processors that we add to a template, but that shouldn't affect all systems before shipping.

  • Satellite A300 and Centos Linux - EHCI: transfer of the BIOS didn't 01010001

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba A300 - 211 PSAGCE.
    It has 32-bit Vista as the operating system.

    Now, it is dual bootable Centos linux with Vista and it does not start in Centos, displaying the message "EHCI: transfer of the BIOS has not (bug BIOS?). 01010001 "and it restarts automatically, without any statement by me. "Reboot" again and again.

    The same problem appears when loading windows 7 or windows 8. With windows vista, only it doesn't have problem. The only problem with Vista is that Skype does not recognize my toshiba webcam.

    My bios version is 2.2, and unfortunately, the TOSHIBA support site does not support the model of mylaptop with another more recent version of the bios. I tried to load the new version of the bios of other Toshiba A300 model, but my phone does not support the flash BIOS.

    Please help me! It is very important for my work to solve this problem.

    I wait anxiously for any help or idea or a new version of the BIOS.

    Kind regards

    Please give me a solution as soon as possible because I can't work!

    Thank you very much.

  • Update the video BIOS

    Is it still possible?
    I downloaded an acer for the same video card (HD 3650 512 MB DDR2) - and see via RBE (radeon bios editor), it is rather better. At least memory size detection is a matter essential to the games while with toshiba a I have no such results.

    Our configs with Bakk are same - proc and vcard are the same. Simply no OS.

    I just can't Flash this bios acer one due at least protection subsys (and maybe sth more than I do not know)

    + The message was edited: link has been removed - unauthorized +.

    Try to Flash the video card BIOS that was downloaded from another laptop to the manufacturer?
    Sorry, mate, but I doubt this does not work and I think that something like that could affect the functionality of your laptop.
    I'm not quite sure what might happen because I have never done something like this, but in my opinion you could damage the chip and the motherboard of m.
