  Inspiron 15 3551

  BIOS Rev A00

  14.04 Ubuntu preinstalled by Dell.

  My laptop is brand new. I went through the initial setup in 15 minutes approximately. This has worked well. I rebooted several times without problem. At this point, the boot options are (if I hit F12 at startup):

  Tittle: Startup Mode is set to: UEFI with legacy OPROM: secure boot: off

  THE LEGACY OPTIONS:

  Hard drive

  UEFI OPTIONS:

  PEBOOT

  Ubuntu

  HDD1 - OS UEFI (TOSHIBA )

  Please note that I never really used the start menu. I just use the default value.

  After a few days, I tried to change how the function keys worked, so I restarted and is gone the BIOS, change this setting, then choose 'save changes and "Reset". Restarted the laptop, but couldn't find the good disk (or partition, or whatever - not sure of the exact terminology). A flashed on the screen error: couldn't open '\EFI\BOOT\fallback.efi': 14

  Then the only choice I give myself is to boot from the recovery partition, forcing me to do a reinstall full - 15 minutes more loss of all data.

  If I hit F12 at startup while the laptop is in this State, the boot options are as above, except lack the "ubuntu" option, as follows:

  THE LEGACY OPTIONS:

  I ran the ePSA assessment system, and it shows no problem.

  This problem is reproducible. I've walked through the entire sequence 3 times.

  So, what gives? How can I change the BIOS settings without losing my OS partition?

  Thank you

  Today I received my 3551 Dell with ubuntu.  I am facing a similar situation.  If inherited boot mode, then something happens to the boot process for the uefi firmware.  I'm trying to understand uefi starting the process as well as the Partion of EFI (ESP) system works.   A good place is-

  www.happyassassin.NET/2014/01/25/UEFI-boot-how-does-that-actually-work-then/

  Once something bad happens recovery dell comes into play and reinstall everything.

  Another problem that I face is that the process to create a recovery on a usb flash drive media fails. I used different usb pen drives but runs aground with each of them.  The recovery flash drive me would be useful if the computer is required to be returned to factory State.   Please inform your experience with it.  I wonder what partition used by the dell recovery program.

  Also inform if drivers for Windows are hidden somewhere on the hard drive.

  Thank you.

• m8100y stopped no boot, no beep, light food. No software or BIOS changes.

  Hello

  I have a m8100y PC which ceased boot, no beep or any other activity (spining hdd or all other front panel lights) light on power visible from outside is light up. There is no software or BIOS changes. He used to work fine and the next day it does not start. I spent the cord with my monitors cord to make sure it's good. Also open the front panel to ensure that the contact of the switch is good.

  What would be my next steps to identify I have

  (1) power supply is ba

  (2) card mother or other components are a problem

  It is a machine for 3 years and older, can the CMOS battery cause me to not start? What does the beep System x many times to warn that. I hear no beeps and the CD wont open, so I know that there is a power problem. But the power supply has an outside light that truns when I plug in the power band.

  You will appreciate a help about what my next steps should be to identify the problem.

  Thank you!

  NB.

  Naimy, welcome to the forum.

  I think you may have a defective power supply unit (PSU).  Are the replaced component in a computer.  You can disconnect all unnecessary items, for example, hard drives, optical drives, USB devices, etc.  After these items are disconnected, try to start the computer.  Here's a guide to troubleshooting of the PSU.

  If you need to replace the power supply, I like Corsair and OCZ.  I normally recommend at least 550W for peak power needs.  I suggest to measure the existing PSU and comparing them to the one you choose.

• EliteDesk 800 G1: EliteDesk 800 G1 does not boot UEFI disks immediately after-> UEFI BIOS change

  I am changing our configuration of the BIOS boot in the UEFI. I tried to simplify the problem.

  I boot via PXE BIOS of SCCM task sequence and perform following actions:

  1. Apply UEFI Secure Boot configuration with BiosConfigUtility (enable Secure Boot, boot which is ignored anyway... order)
  2. Fixed disk partition type as TPG
  3. Create Fat32 partition to boot EFI and an NTFS volume for the data
  4. Apply WinPE to NTFS and copy the boot (bcdboot) in Fat32 files
  5. Set the volume to Fat32 as ESP
  6. Reset

  Now BIOS does not allow me to start this disc. Disk appears in 'Device Configuration', but not in the boot order.

  If I start again to PXE (now in mode UEFI) and check the contents of the disc, everything seems in order. If I reapply my script to repeat steps 4 and 5, and then the next time the disc will apper in the boot and boot order.

  If before the first attempt of UEFI, I put in a known UEFI boot disk, the system does not start it no more.

  I think that there is a bug in the BIOS.

  I saw something similar with Z620. When to apply some config past to the BIOS, the system is no longer shows startup valid drives in the boot order (this attempt was in BIOS mode). Emulation of the RAID controller is switched back to AHCI has worked around him then. But this time I'm not emulation of the controller.

  As BiosConfigUtility reports that it has fixed start changes but when reading them back (before or after the restart, they are the same). It's not as important, but

  BiosConfigUtility 4.0.15.1

  BIOS final v2.68

  My repro led nowhere (successful boot) but I was hired by HP support and all by responding to their email, I accidentally found the question.

  My BIOS setup script was a command to disable temporarily BitLocker if configuration is repeated his request for a system that is already deployed.

  manage-bde-protectors-disable c:

  However, this had inexplicably FAT32 partition become encrypted. If I started to UEFI PXE SCCM WinPE on the next boot, silently erased WinPE encryption and system would be on hard disk again, causing confusion.

  But when, for a test, I booted a Linux LiveCD, it showed encryption.

  I guess it's been like this for a while but only in this case C: was be the UEFI boot partition (usually it's system partition). In hindsight, my repro of WinPE image have also components BitLocker...

  I deleted command BitLocker and now it starts normally on hard drive after the configuration change. Detective Conan for time to engage the support of Microsoft and HP...

• Satellite X 200 - 24Z - BIOS change to 64-bit?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite X 200 - 24Z with BIOS 2.50 win32 running Vista Home premium 32 bit and my CPU which is an Intel T9300 supports 64-bit, I want to know if I can change the BIOS to 2.50 64-bit and then install Vista and Windows 7 64 bit in dual boot.

  Thanks to anyone who can help me on this issue.

  Ahmed

  Hey Buddy,

  Why it shouldn't be possible?

  So I see no reason why you shouldn't t install new BIOS 2.50 64bits. I think that this update would be necessary if you are using a 64-bit operating system, so you can do it!

  But in my opinion a dual boot with Vista and Windows 7 makes no sense because they are similar
  I checked the Web from Toshiba site and there is no drivers for window s7 64 bits for you to use the 64 bit Vista drivers or you install 64-bit Vista only ;)

• BIOS change upgrade to 16 GB of RAM

  I am trying to install Crucial only 8 GB DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204 pin Notebook Memory CT10246 1.35V/1.5V... in laptop HP Pavilion dv7 - 3183 cl. I have the latest version of the BIOS, but at startup, I get the BSOD. Various other forums noted that I might need to change the speed or the voltage in the BIOS, but I'm locked out. My laptop is an Intel processor and theoretically can support 8 GB modules. The HP Pavilion DV7 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service guide c02842278.pdf says:

  Supports the following configurations:
  ● 16384 MB total system memory (8192 × 2)
  12288 MB ● total system memory (8192 × 4096 + 1 × 1)

  The number of spare folloing is supported in the form of installation: 634091-001: 8 GB (10600, DDR3 1333 MHz, for use only with models equipped with one computer
  Intel processor)

  According to the manual, I should be able to install up to 16 GB of memory.

  1. I can?

  2. the parameters of the BIOS maybe adjustible? for example can I have a copy of the unlocked bios?

  3. If the timing is speed is really the question, should I return the current memory and get the slower, mentioned in the manual?

  Thank you

  Hi Peter,.

  The problem I encounter is due to AHCI HARD drive setting and only after WOL.

  If you do not use AHCI 3, 4 & 5 will be AHCI / IDE HDD SATA not.

  You can change the BIOS setting followed steps below:
  1. power on the system and press 'F1' enter the BIOS utility.
  2. go to the "Device" option, make sure that "Enable the SATA AHCI" change to "disable"(if you don't use AHCI, pls ignore this step).
  3. go to the "Start" option, select "Boot Sequence"
  and ensure that the IDE HDD: is not in the section 'Excluded from the boot order' to [Primary] start sequence screen.
  4. press "2" to enter "start sequence screen [automatic],
  and ensure that the IDE HDD: is not in the section 'Excluded from the boot order' to [Auto] sequence start screen.
  5. press "3" to enter "start screen for sequence [error],
  and make sure that the IDE HDD: is not in the section 'Excluded from the boot order' on-screen of start sequence [error].
  6. press "F10" to save and exit the setting.

  Make sure that the HARD drive is not in the list of the excluded for all 3 optios. Primary, automatice & error.

• HP Envy 700-430QE: the BIOS changes made by windows 8.1 without my knowledge

  I am currently having dual boot in my office so that I can login to 8.1 Windows or Ubuntu Linux. Everything works well except something very strange is happening. In my BIOS - boot order through Windows. Even if I load ubuntu first, then Windows boot loader. First time it works... it over ubuntu... later if I opt to go for windows... windows simply modifies this sequence such that windows boot manager will be loaded first, then ubuntu... whereas if I opt for ubuntu it works normally.

  It seems that windows does not want to live in peace with other operating systems.

  Windows should not update the BIOS settings in the first place.

  Background:

  I installed Ubuntu LTS 14.04 on a partition of an external drive connected to my HP desktop computer.

  Secure boot is disabled; QuickStart is disabled; Legacy boot is disabled. When I boot Ubuntu and reboot into Ubuntu, grub-efi allows me to choose if I want Ubuntu or Windows. However, if I go back to Windows and restart, Windows always changes my boot order, placing ubuntu last in the list. I have to always manually change my settings for UEFI and put Ubuntu on Windows, if I want to come back to Ubuntu. This seems to be too much work. Is it possible to keep windows do this?

  Working with HP for the past 2 days... all... tried re-installing Linux and Windows too but no help. HP support trying to find an excuse so they can find some basis does not help me.

  AshuSharmalnia, welcome to the forum.

  I don't know why this is happening.  However, I strongly suggest you to use a second drive for Ubuntu.  I double started with Ubuntu for years; never with Win 8.1.  I found that by using a second drive for Ubuntu solved all my problems similar to what you are experiencing.  In addition, www.ubuntuforums.org is a must for all those who use Ubuntu.  The members are extremely useful and not very well know the operating system.

  Note: This is not normally a problem dealing with the HP Customer Service.  They deal with software and HP components.

• Alienware Aurora R4 will not save the BIOS changes

  Guy g ' Day.

  I recently changed on a motherboard in an Aurora R4 and now it will save some changes to the BIOS, but not others. For example, he remembers the time and if I set a supervisor password, but remember changes to the boot order.

  A battery low motherboard? Remember that your PC can be created automatically sync date/time on the internet so date/time are not necessarily an indication that the BIOS remembers those...

• I think I have a virus that modifies my boot sequence in the Bios. It only happens some of the time when I re-boot. I have to go in and change this back to fix it.
