• Satellite L450-188 - how to disable ACPI.sys and update the BIOS?

  Hi, hoping someone can help me with a slight problem, I'll have

  I recently bought a Satellite L450-188 (number PSLY0E-03K019EN) running under Windows 7 64-bit

  I use the laptop with a DJ program called Rane Serato Scratch Live, I got latency usb problems, getting usb dropouts when I try to use the program on the smallest audio buffer position (which I expect to be able to do)

  When I contacted support at Serato team with my problem, they suggested that I run a program to check the time DPC on my laptop, when I presented the report to them, they said ACPI.sys was the origin of the problem and suggested that interest me to turn it off, but I wasn't too comfortable with that.

  The other suggestion was to try to find updates the bios for my laptop, but I'm not too set up with that sort of thing, and I'm worried I might damage the laptop maybe installing the wrong thing.

  Can someone give me advice on this topic, because I don't know what to do

  Thank you
  Jim

  Hi jimbob_1,

  Normally the ACPI means Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and control options for energy savings.
  So if something is wrong with the ACPI.sys file I recommend reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.
  By the way: are you running pre-installed Windows version or another?

  As Akuma writes that you can download the BIOS update from Toshiba Web site. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/ > support & downloads > download drivers

  Your laptop belongs to the series of PSLY0E, so you can download latest BIOS.

  Before you begin the BIOS update, close all running programs and extract all the files from zip archive. You start the update as an administrator and connect the AC adapter. Also, make sure that the battery is fully charged.

• Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) - how to use 4 GB and update the BIOS?

  Hello! I hope someone can answer a few questions for me.

  First of all is: How can I turn on my laptop to use all the 4 GB of RAM? OS is Win Vista Ultimate 32-bit with Service Pack 2. Now Vista all show the 4 GB of RAM, but don't use it. I activated the EAP in Vista, but still nothing. As I saw, I need to turn it on too memory remapping in BIOS but there is no option (my BIOS is ver.1.70).

  The second question relates to the BIOS. Because my version is 1.70 and there are more recent version 2.00; I get benefits if I update to BIOS? Someone has updated to version 2.00? And there are more options in the BIOS after update to version 2.00 (for example the memory remapping or a similar option)?
  I'm a little afraid to update BIOS, because sometimes my Toshiba freezes, and I would not hang during the update of the BIOS.

  And the final question is there any changelog to the BIOS? So I can see what is added and changed, and what's new in the new version of the BIOS. Because I could not find anywhere.

  Thanks for the responses to come.

  Hello!

  (1) you can use the entire 4 GB of RAM on a 32 bit OS. It is a due limitation of 32-bit technology. Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 may recognize the full 4 GB of RAM but not use it, more than 3.2 g.
  Here you can find more information about this limitation:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  (2) about BIOS updated I can tell only must be made only if you have problems with the laptop. A BIOS update should never be done just for fun, because it of still a little risky. In the worst case, you can destroy the ROM module or complete motherboard.
  Update the BIOS doesn't normally contain new features or options. It s bug just setting. In addition it can t solve the problem with 4 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit if you think that ;)
  If your laptop does not have 100% stable you shouldn't t update because it s too risky. Before the update, you should try to solve the problem of gel.

  (3) If a change log is available you can find it on the Toshiba site. If you can t find, there isn t available.
  That s all about this.

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye

• Yet WT8-A-102 stops suddenly and updated the BIOS

  I bought a Toshiba still WT8-A-102 (not part no PDW09E-00100EEN) to the end of 2014. I upgraded from Windows 8 for Windows 10 Home Version 1511 without any problem in 2015.

  I use it for a limited number of applications - Office365 and navigation, generally with Chrome and Hola VPN to access certain geographically limited websites, for example TV channels, watch movies and content recorded from my TV (these are generally. TSV format); I run the free version of Malwarebytes and AVG anti-virus.

  I have two problems I can solve t.
  
  1 stop abrupt
  For a few months now, it always turns off suddenly, always exactly 30 minutes after the start. There is no warning, the screen goes black and that s it. You can immediately restart and continue as before, but the same thing will happen again after another 30 minutes. It happens that it s plugged in or on battery power.

  I can find no reason for this. For example:

  • It didn't happen when I've upgraded to Windows 10 but a few months later.
  • The battery does not turn down.
  • The Tablet does not heat.
  • It occurs regardless of whether you ve been using the Tablet constantly for 30 minutes or simply turn it on and let it idle.
  • Sleep and stop times are set to one hour.

  I ve looked at event viewer and the only things there are a few system errors showing which means nothing to me (a server is not registered within the required). Certainly, there is nothing that happens in the few minutes before it turns off suggesting a reason.

  Any ideas please?
  
  Update 2 BIOS

  I ve installed the different Toshiba updates available for this model. However, the update BIOS doesn t work. She is currently the version 1.60. I ve downloaded the version 1.80 for this model on the desktop. The zip file is bios-20150722112320. I extract it and it starts the process. The Tablet goes on to say it's reboot and then a panel will appear that says:

  InsydeH20 Flash secure
  Invalid firmware image!
  Press any key to reset the system

  It s a Tablet! While they want me to? I ve you press buttons - Windows and volume - but nothing happens. If I just leave it, it turns off after 30 minutes and we re back with BIOS version 1.60 and I can work as usual.

  Although this seems excessive, but suggestions please?

  Thanks a lot for any advice,
  John

  It seems that your problem is similar to mine. I'm having the same random stop downs https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread...-Error-Code-10 also I have an error code 10 in Device Manager. The agenda called "Intel Trusted execution engine Interface"... are you facing the same error?

  I sent my tablet at the service of Toshiba, it has been over a month now and still waiting to be informed about the problem!

• Impossible to update the BIOS on Satellite A665

  Hello

  I desperately need help with update my BIOS on Satellite A665 that my battery won't charge and the site said to me updated the BIOS, but it is not letting me update battery is less than 10%.

  Please someone help me because I have no way to use the laptop without power still present.

  Hey Buddy,

  Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off? Usually battery LED should show you white and orange color to the loading process if the battery is fully charged. And then start the computer and update the BIOS.

• Split 13 x 2 can't update the bios

  I have a new split of HP 13 X 2 computer laptop / tablet. I have upgraded to Windows 8.1. Tried to update the system BIOS but it fails. I have Kaspersky Anti-virus turn off when you run the update and my account is Administrator status. Evry time I try and update the bios, I get an error "failure" and said copy update has failed. What should I do to fix this?

  Just flashed manually with a USB key. Appears the utility tries to copy the update to the bios on hp/efi/bios on partition 2, but I can't find how to go from Windows, even with hidden folders to display. The update tool the wish was easier and you can specify where you put the update from version 'dumbed down too low to be useful.

  Steps to Flash manually:

  1 use the bios tool to copy the files to a recovery USB drive. It will create a Hewlett-Packard folder. In BIOS and the BIOS update, but the update f19 falls within the bios/current.

  2. with your PSU AC plugged, reboot the computer. Once the screen goes black, start hitting ESC.

  3. even if it seems you can arrow down and press ENTER to select F2, press the F2 key... without the function key.

  4. Insert the USB key, select the firmware, bios update, select the usb drive and navigate to the folder of the bios/current.

  5. you will be asked if you want to update the current bios of 16 to 19. Click bios update (forget what it actually says) and sit down and let it do its thing.

  6. restart. If you have enabled as I do of bitlocker, now you must pick up the keys. After that is done, then you have a F19 X 2.

  Have not used enough to see if 19 solves this problem of the touchpad, but refuse to do workaround above.

• Update the BIOS on a booted TS140 UEFI

  Instructions to update the BIOS via BACK to call for the creation of a BACK with Rufus bootable USB flash drive. The flash player is likely to be a legacy MBR bootable.

  Is there a risk of harm a system UEFI boot from and update the BIOS with a disk MBR-started? I have to undo, redo, or whatever it is reset after perform the update?

  You should be able to update via the BACK without any problem and should not affect your BIOS settings.

• Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

  Hi all

  I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
  The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
  I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
  This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

  There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
  I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
  Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

  So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

  Thank you very much!!

  AJ.

  Hello

  I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

  But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

  Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

  Back to BIOS update:
  In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
  Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

• ProBook G3 450: I've updated the bios on my g3 Probook 450 and now potrs usb do not work

  I've updated the bios and after restarting the pc no usb port work and the usb serial bus is not listed in Device Manager. I have not received any error.

  Hi Richrob,

  Usually after the BIOS updates I recommend restoring the default BIOS because some parameters may change or managed power States must be refreshed. If you start at the F10 menu there will be a restoration of the default BIOS on the home page.

  If the USB bus does not return to the top after restoring default values, try to reinstall the USB driver. You can find the latest version for Windows 7 here.

• Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

  I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

  • BIOS: 2.05
  • ME: 2.1.5.73
  • BMC 1.7
  • IPMI 2.0

  Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

  As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

  HERE'S MY QUESTION:

  Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

  Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

  With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

  https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkServer-rack-mounted/BIOS-settings-blank-with-cursor-after-BIOS-UPD...

  Thank you to all those who commented above and especially to those who have sent me suggestions via PMs.

• Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

  Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

  If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

  Hello

  Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.
  The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

  The good BIOS and how to upgrade the BIOS information you will find on the page of Toshiba.

• Update the BIOS and system health report question

  I have two questions to ask you.

  1. I just bought a Quad DV6T-7000 a month ago. I'm unable to create a report of health system through the control panel > performance & information > advanced tools > generate system health report.  I get an error saying "cannot run" with no other information. It apparently came from HP in this way. Something has been corrupted? I have configured my laptop the way I like it and have installed all programs and applications of my previous laptop, so I hope that I don't need to do an installation of windows 7 to fix this. It is not really important. But it should work.

  2 HP Support Assistant automatically installs updates to bios, or is it something that has to be done manually? I am currently set to auto critical or important updates. There is an update of the bios (f.22 I think) available for my Pavilion DV6T - 7000 Quad Edition, however, I am wary to update my bios given the many problems that people have after doing an update their bios.  So far, HP support Assistant has not notified me of the update and I have problems with the problems it addresses. Should I be worried?

  Thank you, appreciate your making this feature expert day!

The files of your operating system will be inspected and the files that are supposed to be corrupted or damaged will be replaced with fresh copies of the repository own Windows file.  If this does not resolve the problem, then I suggest that you run Windows update. There may be an update that resolves this problem

  Does your laptop have a UEFI environment.  This in fact safe update the BIOS if you decide to do.

   

  You can set the HP Support Assistant to install updates or to notify you when updates are available.

  I recommend that you do not set automatically update anything. My preference is that the Windows operating system and the laptop / desktop only doing what I want to do and when I want them to... That way I don't get surprises not unexpected and mysterious death blue screens or black screens.

• update the BIOS of motherboard for HP Pavilion M7570n and now my computer going in circles

  I have a HP Pavilion - XP or version of the original software m7570n!

  Motherboard is HP/Compaq name: Leucite-UL8E

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00714544

  I downloaded and installed from HP website: update the BIOS of motherboard P5LP - THE

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-54482-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&...

  Now my computer boots into a circle.  It begins... window XP blink... I can see a quick blue screen and some info, but too fast to read... then at startup mode without failure, etc, etc, etc! Each option piced it goes back to the circle of frustration.

  I entered F1 and set it for return to the settings by default, but who has not set.  I see several suggestions to pull CMOS jumpers, but fear just start riders pulling and causing damage.

  Someone can give me a step by step repair to understand where and how update BIOS software... is so simple that all reinstall the same file again?  I have the origianl file downloaded on my USB key.  I'm not comfortable with moving forward in fear of more damage!

  THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCE!

  TIM

  NOW FOR THE FINAL SOLUTION:

  Google is my - so true!  I did google how to reflash the BIOs, but I kept? How I was going to do when I've never seen a 'USB key' as an option in the BIOs boot sequence.  I then looked to do the 'flash' of a CD - with the boot BACK on it, files but everywhere I read on line discussing this method - said most flash programs require you to save first the old BIOs files - you can't do from the BACK / BIO Flash or at least I haven't found a way to BACK startup disk!

  NOW, I'M TOTALLY FRUSTRATED!  Now what should I do?  I knew that the 'blue screen of death"contained the error message that I need to know! I just need to read it, but I couldn't because it flashes in a fraction of a second? GRRRRRRRRRR

  WELL!  I grabbed my digital camera Sony - put on 'SPEED' shot!  I started the computer and kept shooting until I captured the screen!  The error message was "0x0000007B"!

  I googled the error message and found this site:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/stop0x0000007b.htm

  I have read on the list of options and decided that the setting in the BIOs should be where I wanted to start.  I changed the setting for the "RAID" to FDI HHD... BINGO!  I'm back in the game!

  SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT FOR FUTURE TECH SUPPORT QUESTIONS!
