Bios E530 problem

Hello! I use a lenovo thinkpad edge e530.

I have a problem changing my BIOS settings after installing win8.1 and activation of bitlocker. I tried to reformat the partition, it's on, so I wiped it off with gparted and now all the settings in the bios are greyed out and I can't change anything. What can I do to be able to modify my BIOS?

I also have linux installed on my computer if I could do something there.

Note of the moderator; issue published; added system type

Solved the problem.

What I did to remove the hard drive, install in my office. There, I installed win8.1 again alongside my linux partition. After I put in my laptop and initialized in win8.1 where I have enabled bitlocker and then disabled. Now my bios are unlocked again.

  • Napa-GL8E Motherboard BIOS update problems

    Hi, I have a Pavilion Elite m927a and Sunday, this update of the Napa-GL8E motherboard BIOS wanted to install. I did, and then all the computer froze. I was like, oops. so I forced it closed (power button which took place) and rebooted, and the same update arrived. I though maybe if I get rid of the process would lead, it does not freeze? so I forced it shut again, and the entire computer is dead. Would not boot the computer and emitted a beep code in groups of two, given that the BIOS was not happy (couldn't get the MESSAGE). So, I would have reset the BIOS myself, ' cept that I just bought a month ago, and I didn't kill my warranty, so I called HP and got a technician of po as a side note, it took over an hour for a person pick up, and I've been waiting very unfortunately. Anyway, the Grinch came to a fixed rate (I don't know what he did I wasn't there), but it doesn't have me talk about the update, and now, she wants to always be updated the update even that caused all the trouble.

    My question is this; What should I do about it? I'm too scared to run it again in fear of having to w8 for a technician again.

    Ty! ^^

    Do not install it.

    Word to the wise, do not install an update of the BIOS, unless you have a problem or you need something like a new game or software.

    This hp article should help you remove the element of updates (especially the last two sections):

    My aunt was having problems with his A210, so she bought herself a new and gave me the old one. The problems that she has been seen was the computer kept stopping at random. I think it's an overheating problem because the laptop runs quite hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I thought that might help with this problem. in any case, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came.

    > Has anyone else experienced problems with the A210 of overheating? All solutions?
    Hi mate

    I m a Satellite A210 owner and to be honest, a higher internal temperature might occur if the laptop would not get enough air to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
    A few weeks ago, I used the laptop on the sofa I don't the opinion of t that the cooling that are placed at the bottom of the unit fans were clogged because of my position relax, if you know what I mean ;)

    After a short period of use, the laptop shut down automatically I was a little surprised, but I realized that air could not circulate, and so the laptop overheated

    Now, I m using the unit only on the desktop. This method is recommended, and it helps to keep the temperature at the lower level

    Thank you and I hope you can help me...

    Hello

    The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
    Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

    Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
    In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

    I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
    There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

    Hello.
    Find it me difficult to update the BIOS 1.90 because I got the message that I had permission to run the update. Of course, I executed the request made by the administrator and try several times to restart Windows (Home prem 64 - bit). The last time when I installed 1.80 BIOS update there was not this sentence. Attach the screen with the message from the application.
    Thank you very much.

    In my opinion, there is a problem with Win7 version you are using. Maybe it's not enough to run as administrator, but you must be logged in as an administrator.

    Please check it out.

    By the way: why do you need new version of BIOS? Is there a problem with your laptop?

    If you have downloaded the BIOS v1.90 so you need to unzip (uncompress) first of all, this package. Inside the packaging, you will find the BIOS190.exe
    You must run this exe file.

    You say that WinFlash.exe is running on the background. Well, try closing this process and start then start the update
    You can also reboot the device and might try to start the procedure once more

  • Portege 7020 bios upgrade problem.

    I have a Portege 7020 CT with docking station. For a year and a half I can't update my bios. The problem is that when starting the floppy (as in instructions) drive my docking station is almost all (floppy drive) is turned off. Or I couldn't upgrade through Windows Millennium Edition.
    Someone at - it had similar problems? And you have any ideas to solve the problem?

    Hello

    as far as I know, you need to remove your Portege. Plug the AC and connect the floppy drive. Laptop must be in boot mode and not recovery mode, and remove any PC cards.

    Then insert the prepared BIOS disc (create it as described in the manual) and boot from the floppy.

    Then it should work!

    Try and keep me posted.

  • Satellite C855 - 19 X - BIOS update problem

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite phone C855 - 19 X and the alert tempo TOSHIBA utility prompts me to update my BIOS. However when I am doing so I get the following message

    "Error".
    Flash process will end!
    Current platform have secure start capability, it must provide the location of storage NV by interface IHISI.
    Please contact BIOS OEM Engineer to add the feature.
    Without this IHISI interface, variables to authenticate will be modified or erased by flash process.
    If you understand the risk and want to keep flashing.
    You can add the following parameter in platform.ini to ignore the error.
    [EngineeringErrorDisable]
    SkipSecureBootProtectionCheck = 1"

    Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem? Should I add this parameter, or is otherwise around it? Because the BIOS will be affected I hesitate to do so.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    First of all, you should know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and using wrongly you can damage the motherboard. So be sure to always update the BIOS.

    Second, the update of the BIOS is not quite necessary in case your laptop runs correctly.
    You have problems using the laptop? Isn't it? Well, in this case I wouldn't touch the BIOS.

    However, the error message is telling as secure boot
    Secure boot is an available option in the BIOS settings. You should probably disable secure boot before running the BIOS update file.

  • Re: Portege R830 - 10 p - BIOS settings problem

    I tried to update the BIOS, I found the most recent BIOS, downloaded and run...
    Then, Windows display pop up message:

    + BIOS TOSHIBA package + Ver.4.1.2

    + BIOS Version: current Ver.2.10--> update Ver.3.50 +.
    + EC Version: Current Ver.1.10--> update Ver.1.30 +.

    + Because the Intel TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) is activated, the update of the BIOS and IT cannot be run. +

    I rebooted the machine, you press F2 to enter the BIOS, then... I can't change "Trusted Execution Technology" feature Enable, Disable may also depend on TPM. The same problem I have with virtualization can also modify feature.

    I don't really know why BIOS do this kind of jokes, a few days before I can change all the options and now I can't. Features described are on a black background and cursor jumps them...

    Hello

    Does this mean that you was able to change the TPM secure and Trusted Execution Technology in the past?

    Have you tried to set the BIOS to default settings?
    In the BIOS, press F9 and save the changes, this put the laptop s default BIOS.

    In addition, check the Toshiba HWSetup tool located in all programs-> Toshiba-> Utilities.
    Here you can change the settings of the BIOS too
