• Equium A60: After BIOS update device will beep several times and turns off

  Hello

  I downloaded the windows BIOS update for my Equium A60 (dated 11/15/05) and ran the executable by following the instructions, after ensuring that the current AC has been connected, etc.. The update has got a little more to halfway when the computer turns off suddenly.

  Now when I try to turn back on it just a few beeps and turns off again. It seems to me that the BIOS is screwed. Is there anything I can do to get my machine to run?

  Thank you
  Phil

  Hi Phil,

  Unfortunately, it seems that if the BIOS of your laptop is corrupted. Unfortunately, he didn't there has no easy way for you to correct yourself and you will need to take the phone to your nearest Toshiba Service agent who has the necessary specialized equipment to reflash your CMOS with a new BIOS chip.

  Kind regards

• After a fan failure, Windows is unable to turn off the fan?

  My Dell laptop is more than a year and out of warranty, so I was pretty shocked when my brother took an air can to the exhaust port and overspun fan and caused his failure. I bought a fan of alternative qualified from Dell and installed with Arctic Silver costs. However, even with the new fan, he would never turn up. I was looking at the temperatures to pull it up and and eventually shut down the system without even a glance of the fan. I even pulled the fan back out and double checked to make sure that the fan would turn with the applied force (I am an EE, food is very fine-adjustable). He does.

  I can control the fan with a 3rd party, i8kfan program. Problem is, the driver is not signed digitally, so it occasionally fails or it shuts down randomly.

  So, how does this apply to Windows? Well, as Dell technical support doesn't help if you are no longer under warranty, they don't tell me this - here are the fan control strictly controlled windows, strictly the BIOS or a combination of both? I was wondering if the problem threw a flag in Windows or the BIOS can't disable or something. I see nothing on the fans in my BIOS (another failure on part Dells - shitty BIOS), so I hope there is something small, buried in the windows that might help.

  I have no problem using the 3rd party controls. In most cases, this works very well. But there are moments when, particularly under heavy load, the program gets a lower priority, and fan just stops. In addition, the signed drivers beyond boring thing. As a little advanced Windows user, I'd love it if it could be disabled permanently instead of having to switch off whenever I start.

  My college got hooked me with a copy of 7, but I was saving it for my office that I'm building. I think that if this is a Windows problem, I'll just reformat this thing at 7 until I get my desktop built, and if all goes well, that will fix problems with fan. Also, I think I still have the Vista disc to this thing also, that's an option. If reinstalling Windows can solve this problem, I will def do this. I don't want to waste time to reformat if it does not solve the problem.

  Thanks for the comments!

  Hi Matt k,

  Fear you must contact Dell technical support as seems to be a hardware problem.

• DVD player doesn't work after installing SP3 for Windows XP.

  DVD player doesn't work after installing SP3 for Windows XP. That it disappeared from "MY COMPUTER". Device Manager sees it, but there's a yellow exclamation mark over it. See the BIOS of the motherboard and it still works in the BACK. I know SP3 is a collection of updates, but I'm not sure that is my problem. I suspect it's one of the more recent cause I have Windows automatic updates is turned on. Thank you.

• Problems after installing KB978338 on Windows Vista SP2

  I met a problem after installing KB978338. The update installs without error or problem, but the system is extremely inadmissible after the reboot. The "\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is not accessible" error, and the system is practically unusable. Normally opens the Task Manager and system seems inactive, but you try to start a new application from the Task Manager gave an error "hose is not valid.

  System is Vista Home Premium SP2 installed without any obvious problems before the update. Start the system restore and go back to immediately before the update of the results in the system back to normal functionality and responsiveness.

  I've never seen or either of these mistakes before and my research has not yet been able to find something similar, so I am at a loss to start this kind of problem with an update of troubleshooting.

  Please tell us how can I still troubleshoot or solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance.

  So I "hid" the update and you call this one closed without resolution.

  While the overall rating of gravity for KB978338 is moderate (critical vs), it of still a security update and must be installed.

• Windows detected a hard disk problem after factory reset?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, not old at all. I tried to download a game and then got the BSOD. I had to reset my PC, lost what I had, but ended up from scratch. Now, every so often, I get a message saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... ». I have right click the disk hard "defective" for the error checking, no errors found. I tried HD Tune Pro, and tells me 'Warning' for the State of health (05) reallocated sector count (failure) is red, and number of events (C4) reallocated (warning) is yellow. Does this mean I have to replace the hard drive? The computer was working completely fine until BSOD. Now it works and everything but I get this error message. The laptop is not only really old and never any injuries, but perhaps past warranty. I really have nothing left to save, because I lost everything when I have to reset it to factory State. Any advice?

  It's really up to you.  Sometimes there may be false positives, but it looks like your drive is really having some problems.  It was even the cause of the BSOD, who knows.

  You can follow the steps of my colleague here to check your drive for errors:
  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6221-chkdsk-check-drive-errors-Windows-8-a.html

  But really, I would take the advice and replace the drive.  Or at least be prepared for this 'die', then save your files somewhere else like OneDrive or something so you don't lose important information when it does.
