BIOS Configuration utility

• ProDesk 600 G1 BIOS configuration of the TPM secure through the BIOS Configuration utility

  We have a range of devices, computers HP desktop and laptops in our environment.  Devices are all running Windows 7 64 bit and should have Bitlocker enabled, but we found that some were not encrypted.  So I am trying to set up a remote BIOS and Bitlocker config activate software that we can get out via SCCM and then embed in a task sequence image for new machines.

  I use the Bios HP Configuration utility to check a BIOS password is set and then activate the TPM chip.  I took a BIOS config output of each of our models and created a settings file that has all of the TPM associated parameters of all models.

  At the moment I run Setup BIOS utility manually for testing.  On all models I tried that works very well, except for the 600 ProDesk G1 SFF.

  When I run the utility on the ProDesk 600 G1 MFS, it says that I have managed to update the settings, and when I check the BIOS, the TPM secure has been unhidden and the TPM Management was given to the operating system (two settings I change), but the TPM itself remains hidden.

  It's the release of the BIOS configuration utility (it uses the 2.60.13.1 version, which uses plaintext passwords.  I also tried with the 3.0.13.1 later version that uses password files - same result)

  C:\ > BiosConfigUtility64.exe /cspwd: "password" set: "TPM_Config.REPSET"
  
  < BIOSCONFIG Version = "2.60.13.1" Computername = 'HP600G1' Date = "24/07/2014" Time = "13:01:37 ' UTC '1' = >"
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Embedded Security Device" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [hidden device]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [device]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Enable security on the next boot" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "The BONES of on-board safety management" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SUCCESS msg = "Successfully set BIOS config." / >
  
  < information msg = 'BCU return the value' real '0' = translated = '0' / >
  
  < / BIOSCONFIG >
  
  C:\ >

  And after a reboot (where it should activate the TPM), BIOS shows as disabled built-in safety device (see attachment for the image).

  I have tried everything I can think of to get this to activate, including:

  • Different versions of the BIOS configuration utility
  
  
  • Remove the password from the BIOS and the application in the same order as the parameters
  
  
  • Different passwords
  
  
  • Reboot and allowing the machine to start completely to Windows before checking if the setting took effect

  I also tried to add the utility and the commands for an SCCM package and it works directly and as part of a sequence of tasks to see if that makes a difference, but nothing I've done has activated the TPM module.

  I know that the TPM module works, as you can turn it on manually and then Bitlocker can be applied to the machine, but with thousands of devices in our environment, I need to get this job without the need for manual intervention.

  Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?  Or has someone at - he managed to activate the TPM on the SFF of 600 ProDesk G1 using the BIOS Setup utility?  Any ideas / suggestions would be very appreciated!

  This problem has now been resolved by HP.
  
  They provided a replacement motherboard for the test machine I was using that solved this problem. I don't know what kind of motherboard failure could prevent the activation via the script TMP chip but not prevent activation through the BIOS menu, but as a replacement solved the problem, then it must be a hardware failure.

• HP Pavilion DV7 BIOS configuration utility - 2010ev:

  Hello

  I would like to ask if I can change the configuration to another utility or open the Advanced tab of the existing utility

  No I don't have InsydeH2O Setup Utility v. 3.5 (Locked - no Advanced tab)

  MOBO is Quanta or HP 3624

  HP Pavilion DV7 - 2010ev

  P/N: VC005EA

  I want to replace my CPU of Intel P8600 Q9100 Intel and Intel told me that the BIOS may not support the new processor.

  Then, it is not incompatible with the Quad Core CPU. I suspect that you have just a bad CPU it. I regularly buy with a higher incidence of disorders than processors, there is no other portable computer components. Sellers say they're working, but a significant percentage are bad on arrival.

• Acer Aspire V3 - 772G - BIOS setup utility menus have disappeared

  Acer Aspire V3 - 772G - BIOS setup utility menus have disappeared

  I have install this laptop brand new, pre-installed with Windows 8.1 for my sister-in-law who bought it.  The installation went well BUT the 16 GB USB device I bought such as advised by the literature of Acer to store the recovery partition was not large enough, 14.4 GB physical capacity.  Acer the book says to use a 16 GB or more, so I did.  I naively thought that a USB key which has been marked 16 GB would be appropriate.  Not the case.  I had to buy a bigger but am still waiting for delivery.

  So I decided to any HARD drive to save the work I had done, but found only the Acronis Backup and Recovery DVD would not start the image.  I went into the utility configuration and adjusted the start parameters to inherited and modified device priority.  Acronis wouldn't so I did not continue.  I went back into the configuration utility, use F9 to restore the default value and to my astonishment that the DUAL boot option was now gone and Windows startup option was also gone.

  This means that £800 this laptop is now unusable.  The installer standalone reconfigured without warning.  Nowhere is there at - it advice or advice do not use the Setup utility when it erases the features that cannot be recovered by using F9 to restore the default configuration.  If this isn't a serious design flaw, I don't know what is.

  I am deeply worried because the idea of a BIOS setup utility behave in this way seems so unlikely that I wonder if anyone will believe me.  How are the Setup utility has been designed to self-harm like this?

  Your suggested action works!  Thank you very much.  You saved my life.

• W520 Bios Update Utility 10 64-bit Windows

  Friends

  Earlier, I had a Thinkpad W520. Looks like a powerful machine. He already started level Win 10 Pro 64 bit.

  Now I tried to update the BIOS on this issue but don't know how to proceed. The current BIOS is:

  BIOS
  LENOVO brand
  Version 8BET55WW (1.35)
  Day 06/12/2011

  So, it is already 5 years old. I tried to find utility to update BIOS for 64 bit Win 10 on the Lenovo support site, but not been able to find one for this model. I find one for 64-bit Windows 8, but not to win 10.

  Can I use the Win 8 BIOS update utility to update my W520 at 1.42 BIOS? Or what are my options?

  Thank you

  Calle

  On machines like yours that were ever sold with pre-installed win10, I suggest burning to a CD and update the BIOS in this way.

• Unusable USRP configuration utility

  Hallo,

  I am trying to use the utility configuration USRP to change the IP address of my USRPs with LV2010 or 2012.

  Even when I press 'find the new feature' no USRP does. However, using a standard 'ping' command, or by using 'uhd_find_devices.exe' the USRP connected responds without problem.

  I can also work with examples.

  Now, why is it not possible to my USRPs using the configuration utility?

  It is really annoying because I would like to update the driver to 1.1. By doing this, I also need to update the firmware...

  really frustrating

  hoping to get some suggestions

  Best regards

  6-application Layer Gateway service
  Help, please.

  Hi Alaa' Kabbani,.

  1. did you of recent changes made to your computer?

  2. which antivirus app do you use?

  3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

  Method 1: Disconnect any new hardware

  If you have recently installed a new hardware device, the necessary driver so that the material can not be installed or the driver may be damaged or incompatible. To determine if this is true, follow these steps:

  1 unplug the appliance.

  2. restart Windows XP.

  If Windows XP starts successfully, there is a driver problem with the new material. Contact the manufacturer of the device for drivers updated to the device or to learn more about known hardware issues, so that you can reinstall the device.

  For information about how to contact the manufacturer of the device, refer to the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/vendors

  (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors)

  Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. These details may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

  If this method resolved the issue, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, go to method 3.

  Method 2: Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure

  If the system reboots continuously, do the following:

  1. reboot the computer.

  2. as the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

  3. use the arrow keys to select disable automatic system error rebootand press ENTER.

  4. If you receive an error message, follow these steps to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for useful information about the error message:

  a. copy the text of the error message.

  b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:

  http://support.Microsoft.com

  (http://support.microsoft.com)

  c. type the text of the error message in the Search box, and then type the name of the product you are using, for example "Windows XP".

  d. click on Searchand try to find an article that will help you solve your problem.

  If this method worked, you have resolved the problem of your computer restarts continuously. However, you can continue to troubleshoot driver problems. See the "Symptoms" section again and determine which method to use to solve the problem.

  If this method worked, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, please try Method 3.

  Method 3: Use the known last good Configuration feature

  If you can start the computer successfully, you can use the known last good Configuration feature. This feature uses information that was saved the last time that you shut down the computer before the problems started. This feature allows to restore your registry settings and drivers to the previous information.

  If you are not completely sure what that means, don't worry. None of these reviews will damage your computer. However, you should be aware that if you do this, any changes made to your computer after the date of last known good configuration will be lost.

  If you have recently installed a driver and know a configuration problem, this method will probably work for you. Unfortunately, this feature does not solve the problems caused by missing drivers or corrupt or files.

  To use the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

  a. restart the computer.

  (b) that the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

  c. use the arrow keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.

  d. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system and press ENTER.

  If this method worked, your computer is restored to a good working state. You still have to investigate on what caused this problem. To do this, please see the "Next steps" section for troubleshooting resources more.

• Launch the Configuration Utility 4.9 x

  I'm launching Configuration Utility 4.9 x.  I get the box, select Local computer, click OK and then nothing is displayed.

  In the HP. File Dss.ConfigUtility.CrashDump.log, I see a warning message: Unhandled Exception has occurred in the DSS service.  Message: Failed to create 'serviceconfigurationwindow' failure, defined in Assembly...

  I tried to run it as an administrator as suggested, but nothing helped.  I am looking at different security settings, but can't nail the right pair for the moment.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• System Configuration utility

  I had a hotline to change how windows starts and clear my system for viruses etc.

  I have no w received a message on my pc every time you start by saying that the system utility is in diagnostic or selective startup mode.

  I need to choose normal startup on the general tab mode to start windows normally and undo the changes you made by using the system configuration utility. Help!

  Where is THE general tab and that make the changes I need to do when?

  That's why using msconfig to deal with start-up problems is the wrong way to go.

  To answer your specific question, click Start, then click Run, type msconfig in the box "Open", and then click OK.

  Running msconfig starts the System Configuration utility.  It has several tabs, the leftmost is the general tab you're looking for. Click the general tab and then click on the 'Normal Startup' radio button.  And then click OK.

  When you restart, you'll be in normal mode - but probably some problem has prompted "phone support" to run msconfig first place will return.

  If you want to fix things rather than simply hide them with msconfig, please post describing the problem that comes up when you restart in Normal mode.
