BIOS for dc-7800 badly installed version?

Hello

Recently, I installed an SSD in my dc-7800.  Before that, I went to the HP support site and downloaded the latest version of the bios and installed.  Now, I get a blue screen error on memory parity error.  So, read on what to do when we got this error, I started first tried all my connections on the motherboard.  The next step was to make sure I had the latest drivers.

By going to the HP support site I started to compare the versions.  I noticed that the version of the BIOS that I've been on the site for download is not a different version than what I had installed.  However, I remember installing a BIOS with a newer version.  I checked, and of course, I installed 1.32 being the most high for the DC-7800 1.24 RevA.

I thought, I'll just install the 1.24 RevA and it'll be cool.  Then, I remember this gem during the installation of the bios:

WARNING: After installing this version of the BIOS on the system, earlier BIOS versions cannot be installed on the system.

My question is this.  Am I out of luck?

Now a secondary issue is how hell do I have the wrong version?  I use your hardware software ActiveX detection to find which machine I (I do not remember that it was the dc-7800, the ActiveX told me that).  So, I downloaded the site cause he said it was the right one for my computer.

(oh and as a bonus, when I take my serial number that tells me that the ActiveX is my serial number and plug it in to check the warranty it tells me I have the wrong model and I have in fact dc-7900.  So, I feel like I don't want to trust the site for my drivers and BIOS updates)

Hello:

I guess that you are certainly a dc7800.

I have one, and my BIOS is v1.32 like yours.

The highest is v1.32 and nearby dc7800 at the link below (Windows 7) support page.

Yes, you're out of luck if you want to Flash the BIOS of an earlier version.

Alternatively, you can go into the BIOS and look at the system information screen and it will tell you what model PC you have.

You can also see this post on the memory related error.

    Hello

    Yes, you can install Win XP on this laptop with Vista BIOS.
    It might be possible that some features of the laptop do not work with Vista BIOS and therefore you could update the BIOS to the version of Win XP (if available) after Windows XP has been installed.

    Hello

    I have a laptop M205-S4806 Satellite with Win Vista & BIOS 2.10.
    I wanted to format the drive and install Win XP. However, the BIOS does not detect HARD drive when you insert a CD Win XP.

    In addition, anyone know if XP is compatible with the model above.

    Appreciate your help.

    Thank you

    The fact is that you have a model of cell phone US and everything you need you can find in http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp

    There you can select your model laptop and see what Toshiba offers. You'll find BIOS update 1.8 with support for Windows XP Home edition. Updating the BIOS will not help solve this problem with disk HARD invisible but you need this update of the BIOS for the full support of Windows XP Home edition feature.

    For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. Click on the link posted by the previous user.
    Just one last thing: for WXP installation using Windows XP Home with SP2 integrated.

    Good luck!

  • Version of the NEW BIOS for Satellite A200 PSAEC!

    They have posted a new Bios updates on the download page!

    5, 20 - WIN: this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!

    1, 80 - WIN: this Bios is ONLY compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!

    But I don't really know how to use it. Because I currently installed XP. Suppose that I update the bios with the XP version. What happens if I decide later to get the Vista? It would be impossible, because I have the BIOS for XP. And could not install the BIOS in Vista either, as I have installed XP...

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    It s not so tragically if you have a bios XP and vista installed. It will work but with many limitations and it won´t stable work, so it s best to have the version which is scheduled for the operating system you are currently using.

    Thanks for posting this news, I guess a lot of uses with this machine to enjoy some good news. :)

    Also, how to install it and how to check what is my bios version now?
    Thanks in advance

    First update the BIOS is unnecessary if your laptop computer is operating properly.

    On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find all the drivers available, as well as the newest BIOS available. At the moment, it seems to be a version of 3, 10 - WIN

    How to know the version of the BIOS?
    It's very simple, you need to access the BIOS, and then you could see the version of the BIOS.

  • It is impossible to update the latest version of the BIOS for Satellite L40-17s

    First of all, why is there so many BIOS updates in short time? I get my new brand L40-17 s (05/20/08) with the 1.70 BIOS, the software Toshiba Tempro give me the warning to update it to 1.80 which works very well, after a few days a new warning from the update 1.90 and now 2.00 in June! The problem is that I can't update more above 1.80, when I click on the winflash.exe only a short screen and then nothing.

    32 Windows Vista without SP1 operating system

    I really want to have the latest version of the BIOS before installing SP1.

    > Firstly, why are there so many BIOS update in short time?
    Who knows seems Toshiba releases the drivers and BIOS as own Microsoft Windows patches have you known a Microsoft patch day? ;)
    I think that it s something similar

    Another question;
    Is there something wrong with your laptop?
    If not, then why a BIOS update?

    I have a laptop that is about 3 years old and there are updates latest BIOS for my laptop, but I've never done an BIOS update.
    It of not necessary because the machine works without problem

  • Need older version of Bios for Satellite L30-113 PSL33E

    Hello

    Can someone please provide me with an older version of bios for my laptop (L30-113 a.k.a PSL33E).
    Now I recently upgarded to version 3.10 of the toshiba site and now my laptop seems to generate a lot more heat than before. Also some of my USB ports stopped working properly. The version that I was before was 3.00 I think or something like that.
    Also, look what I ve found:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=L30_BIOS_UPDATE _ 02132008.

    This is not because it is exactly the version 3.10 causes overheating. The thing is that I could not find a previous version of this BIOS so I'm asking you guys to help me.

    Thanks in advance!

    When the latest version is available that can not be downloaded more.
    I think that the old version, you can get to the authorized service provider. I checked several Toshiba support page but without success.
    Sorry, but I see no other way to get the old version of the BIOS.

    Hello

    OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

    An OEM license is not transferable.

    And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

    There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

    You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
