• Aspire m3420 bios update help

  Hello. I'm trying to update the bios on my aspire m3420 so that I can run an evga gtx 750ti. Current BIOS is P01 - A1 on a mobo aahd3-vc. I tried to use the updates from the website of acer but after reboot, flash does not stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  If your bios is P01 - A1, you as far as you can go. Notice P01 - A1 is not in the list of the Bios. P01 - A1L is, but this isn't your bios. You will also notice the size of the BIOS there are bigger than yours and the new Bios must be the exact size as yours to install.

  I think you should wait 60 days for version 10 of Windows to see if it can solve the problem.  10 Windows will automatically make sure you have good drivers (course to 99%).

  It is possible that he is in fact a BIOS problem.  But all the advice I would give risk possible to break your computer permanently, and I don't want to do that because there's a pretty good computer (with the exception of windows xp).

  I'm guessing Windows 10 retail copy will be cheap enough to buy.  I can't say with certainty that your computer will be in charge of windows 10, but I think it will be.

  Also, even if it has nothing to do with your current number, you can not simply exchange cpu like this safely without applying new thermal paste.  There are a few videos on youtube from the manufacturers of motherboards that show you how to clean the old thermal paste and apply new thermal paste.  Make sure that the videos that you watch come from a motherboard manufacturer, not some Joe Blow.

  And then if Windows 10 doesn't fix it, you have to decide at that point, if you want to take the risk of bricking messing with the BIOS of your computer permanently.

  I'm sure you know that Windows XP is not supported and that there is a security risk.

  Good luck!

  Edit: Here's an alternative to Windows XP that works well for older computers of XP.

• Aspire ME600 BIOS update has made the system useless

  In January 2013, I bought what I thought, it was a solid through Amazon, an Acer AME600-UR378 product. Has a fast processor and lots of RAM. As a tech geek I was sure that I made a good purchase. It wasn't super smooth, but I have advanced and added an SSD as my Starter/primary OS drive. Everything was peachy... until now.

  This week, I tried to put in place the support dual monitor. When the new connection of video card was not recognized, I decided to be smart and ask help from Acer chat service before mucking around too deep into the system myself. They chatted amiably far and suggest I should update my BIOS from the system and even gave me a direct download link to the file.

  The zip came with a simple pdf page and so I gave it a go. Five easy steps, flash, reboot and my machine has now been rendered useless. I now get the blue screen of death, with errors such as "start your PC configuration data is missing or contains errors." To try a refresh/reset, I get an error saying that the drive is locked. On trying to use the recovery disc I made when I got the system, it is said that this is not a recognizable disk.

  I got a few things to try friends of IT operations, but none have worked. SanDisk support suggested, I update the firmare on the SSD, but it does not solve the problem.

  Despite all is based on the file and the recommendation of the Acer support, I am now told by 4 different representatives (so far) that my system is under warranty and they would be happy to help once I gave them more money. I am angry and disgusted by the present, in addition to being frustrated that I can't find a solution to this day. Hours and hours of googling and research have given ideas, but none that worked.

  So, I throw myself at the mercy of this forum, in the hope that someone who has some kind of idea on how I can bring my pc back to life.

  Thank you, in advance!

  EEK.

  I turn and watch the bios options.  The tab at the end should be called something like 'Boot' opposite of what it is now, I would like to put the startup mode option: legacy / UEFI.

  I would also check the bios options for all which allow change of disc HARD Sata IDE to AHCI mode/Mode, ideally, you should be set to AHCI.  But keep in mind you can have a Raid option, too.

  One of these "could" solve your problem.

  What blue screens you get exactly? What version of bios go you to? What are the first 10 digits of your serial number of computers?

• BIOS Update Fail - Aspire XC - 603G Win 8.1

  Hello

  I have searched here for a few days and read a bunch of messages - which some I tried.

  I don't mean to come down in Win 7 (even though I really like Win 7)

  I'm trying to stick with Win 8.1.

  I was running BIOS P11 - A1 and suddenly started having trouble with the USB 3.0 controller.

  I read some posts here and on other forums that I should see if there is a BIOS update.

  There are in fact four for this machine and so I started with the oldest a P11 - B0L

  T

  To be honest, the instructions in the file Readme PDF weren't that useful

  but I found some great data on the site of the FRIEND who helped me to put up-to-date to B0L - P11.

  I ran the BIOS BACK. BAT file first, but got this error: "4 - error: file ROM ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID.

  So I advanced and run AFUDOS file without any parameters in the command and all set file to update correctly.

  But I still have problems with the USB 3.0 controller and the process just seemed to be relatively complex.

  As well my HP and three other Dell had programs BIOS Flash, or simple instructions which worked without any problems.

  I was just lucky with them and there are some hidden secret ritual UEFI and/or MS-DOS that I'm missing here?

  Am I possibly using the incorrect day BIOS file - and if yes which one should I use?

  Thank you

  -Bil

  If your computer came pre-installed with windows 8.1, BIOS correct would be P11. B2 (to the best of my knowledge).

  'L' versions are for Linux.

• bios update wrong

  I have an acer aspire xc - 603, who had the newest bios update for my p11 - b2 model.  I acidently updated my bios version p11 - B4, which is intended for sucks it xc - 603 G.  How would I fix this?  Flash the bios with the original version of p11 - b2?

  If the flashing allow you to go back to a previous version, Yes, try it. (not always the best thing to do, returning to a previous BIOS version)

  If not and your system is stable, I would leave it as it is.

• Clocked at 20 degrees warmer since putting on 3.87 Rev A Bios Update on Z420 Workstation

  I have a question:

  Not too long ago I put the Bios Update on A Rev 3.87 was considered to be as critical an update on my workstation Z420 (running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit), and lately I've found that the CPU idling at about 20 degrees more hot than before.  I used to hear creaking noises coming from the computer I learned normally come circuits on the motherboard power delivery, but as long as I heard those CPU would be on average around 50 degrees C at idle.  I hear these noises and now the CPU is on average around 70-75 degrees C at idle.  Not sure what the connection is.  HP performance Advisor tells me I'm in the normal range, but I want to just make sure that with programs like Autodesk Maya there, she become too hot and stop the machine.   I don't know what the temp high-end is considered maximum security.  This change could have due to the update of the Bios?

  Thank you for your response and suggestions.  I check in my BIOS power management settings has been developed the extended mode, but the temperature has always hovered around 70-78 degrees at idle.  I checked Intel spec for this (E5 - 1650 6-core xeon) processor, clocked at 3.2 Ghz by heart, and although he said nothing on the TMax, he mentioned that the TCase (which he defined as the maximum temperature allowed integrated processor heat sink (IHS)) was 64 degrees Celsius.  Now my temperature of the case, according to my HP Performance Advisor version 1.7.7517.0 is only about 24 degrees C, but I put my fan a little higher CPU, about 2009 rpm speed.  This makes a little more noise, but my CPU temp has dropped to about 49 °.  "" Before the change of the fan speed has been slightly more than 1300 RPM while the Advisor I have always said that it is in the range "normal".  Is it good to get the speed of the CPU fan like that or do I have to go a little lower?

• Satellite X 200-20 s - LAN does not work after BIOS update

  Hi all

  I've updated the BIOS version 2.7 and NIC LAN just disappeared from my list of device. The wireless network card works fine however. When I plug the ethernet cable, the green light turns orange not, so I guess that it is not broken, as it worked fine before the BIOS update.

  I tried different drivers lan Windows XP and still nothing. Any ideas please?

  I have Windows 7 x 64 installed.

  LAN option is listed in the BIOS boot menu?

  If you have tested with Win7 and WXP maybe you should do finally test and install recovery image original Toshiba that you got with your laptop and see what happen when you use the laptop with the factory settings.

  However, it fails with the error "the BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack installed. »

  Please help me!
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  It seems that the OS Vista was preinstalled on this laptop.
  This means that you have installed the Windows 7 system to your own hand.

  The point is that BIOS update requires a few essential tools of Toshiba.
  For example, the package of value added is an important software package and must be preinstalled on the laptop.

  VAP is installed?
  If this isn't the case, install the PPV before trying to update the BIOS.

• BIOS update failed on Tecra R10 with Windows7

  Hello

  I have problems with the update the BIOS of my Tecra R10J. The current version is 1.4, and I want to upgrade to 3.0, so I downloaded from the Toshiba web site the good file named "P006Cv300.exe" 2009-11-04 released. It is an update of the BIOS online in a real session of Windows 7. Simply right click the compress exe, click Run as admin and that is all, but... for me, he said:
  * "[Error] the start of the service was abandoned. The user doesn't have administrative privileges. "

  See below:
  http://perso.Orange.fr/100Mo/bioserror.jpg

  I tried with:
  -closed AV, firewall, etc...
  -turn off UAC
  -Run as administrator
  -Tried with another admin account
  -Safe mode (update of the bios doesn't support safe mode)
  -lead the local administrator session

  No change. Always the message "user lacks administrative privileges."
  Need help please, found nothing on Google (similar but not resolved Bios problem!)

  Thank you

  Hey ignore them,

  As Akuma has already written the added value Package must be installed for BIOS update for the BIOS to read system information correctly. Besides, the VAP is needed for special functions such as the FN keys so it must be installed.

  It would be interesting to know what is happening with the factory settings. I guess that your computer laptop wasn t ship with Windows 7, but with Vista and you should try it with Vista.
