• Aspire 5742G BIOS update

  Hello guys. as the title know I have Aspire 5742 G and on the download section of the site, I see theres a BIOS update. Now I have the old aspire 5315 and when I tried to update my bios on it I almost he bricked. So my question is: is it safe for update my BIOS on the 5742 G and going to improve my performance of the laptop. Right now, I feel the audio offset at random times (sometimes when I listen to music or watch film of any browser and sometimes using office applications online to watch movies offline). Also when I shift + del too fast (if I close the combination within 2-3 seconds) it does not read my shift (it shows the msg to send files to don't bin not permanently remove). Tried updates of windows, restore points, driver updates, driver rollback, windows cleaning install (more than 10 times), different windows (from windows 7, windows 8 and even I tried Ubuntu). Went to assosiated local tech with Acer and they said that they are unable to find the cause of the problem. So as a last resort im concidering to BIOS update

  I would say that you can create a USB bootable flash BACK drive with Rufus:

  http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/?locale=en_US

  Plug in your USB key, start Rufus and then set it as on the screenshot (FAT32 or FAT doesn't matter)

  

  Once done, copy the contents of the BIOS BACK folder at the root of the USB flash drive.

  Turn off your laptop, start by pressing F12 and select UFD as a boot device, once in the DOS environment type

  Update.bat

  Follow the instructions on the screen.

  Please make sure your battery is charged to 100% and your charger is plugged.

• BIOS update help stuck!

  Hi, I have a Pavilion dv6-3040us and when I turned on my laptop, he asked me if I wanted to do a bios update then I did and press ENTER.  Now its impasse on 'New BIOS Image Verification' block 34/512 for almost an hour now.  What can I do? Thank you

  Update - seems that my laptop failed finally battery and extinction.  During the reboot, the update of the bios went quickly without any problems. Don't know what was wrong before, but maybe I just needed taken power.

  You are very lucky that it does not corrupt your computer. Having plugged adapter is one of the terms when you Flash the BIOS and most likely, that's what he expected.

  The BIOS is a specific set of instructions that are stored on the motherboard and not on the hard disk, the BIOS is not a program or a driver. When these instructions are altering the processor, video card, etc. can properly interact with the hardware on the computer.

  Most of the time it comes to send back to HP to fix this problem. There are a few things to do, but they are not very successful.

  Next time don't let HP update BIOS, if everything works fine, do not update anything, especially the BIOS.

• HP Pavilion G7 1316dx Notebook: BIOS update help

  I have a laptop running updated windows 10 how to update the bios? I still do not see an update for windows 10. So, how to upgrade the bios? Or if I should wait for all drivers to be supported with windows 10?

  If there is no update on your Support page, it means generally that no BIOS update is needed. I assume that you have the latest version of the BIOS on your list of Windows 8?

• 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?

• Latest version of the bios update help (dv6700)

  Hello, I have recently updated my OS to Windows 7 on my laptop Pavilion, which is a dv6700, with the number of product KW097EA #UUW and with an AMD processor. His version of bios is F.34, and I would like to know if this is the latest version of the bios. Unfortunately I can not find my model on the site, so I need your help. In addition, the last bios will allow me to install more ram? I currently have 2GB.

  Hello:

  Yes, F.34 is the latest version of the BIOS, and if you have installed, all right.

  I'll spare you to go through your laptop for parts of the Strip and throw in the trash if you try to Flash the BIOS after installing Windows 7.

  DON'T FLASH THE BIOS IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED WINDOWS 7.

  There is 100% chance of completely bricking your laptop if you do.

  Here is the link to the support page and driver for your specific model of laptop.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=3717145&CC=US&DLC=en&LC=en&os=228&Query=KW097EA&sw_lang=&Tool=

  As long the BIOS of your PC is F.27 or newer, there is no reason that you can not install 4 GB of memory in your laptop right now.

  I have a dv6810us with the same hardware as yours and I am under W7 64-bit with 4 GB of memory (2 x 2 GB of PC2-6400), and it works fine.

  If you need Flash the BIOS (which you shouldn't ever need to), you will need to reinstall Vista and reinstall W7 flash.

• Acer aspire T160 bios update failure

  Thanks in advance

  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.

• Portege Z835 - need help with BIOS update

  Hello.

  I have a Portege Z835, with a battery problem: do not load. The battery indicator says "3% connected load" but it doesn't load the battery.

  Some forums said that the solution is updating the Bios. I have a Bios Update v.1.60 ready to install. When I try to install, we get the message "the battery power is not enough.

  My power cord is still connected. If I unplug the power cord, the laptop is turned off.

  Please, what can I do?

  Thank you.

  F.

  To be honest I don't think it's the related issue of the BIOS. AFAIK battery must be charged, even if the laptop is turned OFF so why BIOS update if the battery can not be charged at all.

  To me that sounds like hardware related issue.

  How old is your Portege?
  Warranty is still valid?

  Maybe you should contact Toshiba service and ask for help or even their opinion.

  Hi dude

  That s a pity :(
  The update of the BIOS is always a tricky process and there is always a small piece of risk.
  Usually, if the BIOS update has failed then you need a help of a technician of the ASP.

  The point is that you would need an update of the traditional BIOS to reflash the chip for the BIOS again.
  But the Toshiba driver page provides only the victory of the BIOS which can be updated only from Windows OS-based.

  Therefore, you will need to contact a local ASP which might help you.

  Dude good luck

  On how to solve the problem of Intel VT - X on the BIOS, even if I enable vt - x on the BIOS it doesn't allow me to install HAXM. So I decided to update the BIOS. My BIOS version was F.66 A.

I tried to install the F.66 A by downloading its download file, but does not have that, the update of the BIOS in the installer option has been disabled.

  Tried to install A F.66 via external USB using HP_TOOLS and create image files. But during the installation it management through Firmware utility, it says "Unable to BIOS Open File signature."

• 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.

• PLEASE HELP WITH THE BIOS UPDATE!

  Hello, I have a hp pavilion g6 - 1202sa laptop, I installed windows 7 (64-bit), I was wondering if I can update my bios of f.35 to f.43 without any problems?

  the reason why I ask because on another forum a guy said I have to uninstall windows 7 and install windows vista and then update my bios and after that re-install windows 7, if I don't like that while he says I will brick my phone.

  could you please let me know if this is true or is it aload of shit.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can see on the HP document under this Bios version f.43 is supported for Windows 7 (both 32-bit or 64-bit versions).

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100657-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4063&product=5182525&sw_lang=

  The only point I would make, as there is always the potential for something to go wrong when the bios update, is unless the new version fixes a problem you already have, or add the features you need, I would not disturb no risk.

  Kind regards

• BIOS update is not possible for Portege M700

  I tried to update the BIOS to my M700-110 PPM70E-02302DEN from 1.60 to 1.80 (P005Bv180.exe).

  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. »

  In the "more information", I have read "OS independent.
  This is the Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 unsupported?

  What is the problem?
  What BIOS is right for my system?

  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.
