BIOS HP pavilion m7463 problem

Hello

I was given a hp pavilion m7463, who had died, so I gave him a new hard drive which works very well.  I even just got a new monitor as well.  Now this computer came originally with XP... but it wouldn't work on the disk hard that I added, but I got a copy of Vista to run.  Thanks to all that the computer worked well.

Earlier today, I tried to update the BIOS because installed was a bit outdated and does not support boot from USB drives.  The old BIOS version was 3.15, and I downloaded the new version (3.19) directly at HP.  After the installation of the new BIOS, the computer continues trying to start, but he can not find windows or a handle than some delivers so it restarts, then tries again and the process keeps going.  You try to run repair from cd vista did not help.

It seems that if I restore the BIOS to 3.15 so I should be able ti solve the problem, and I'm fairly certain that I can install the BIOS if I can get my hands on a copy.  The problem seems to be that HP has a TERRIBLE site when it comes to drivers.  I can find the drivers/BIOS current listed, but no where is I was able to find a list of Alumni BIOS/driver to download.  So 2 questions...

1. just install the old BIOS will fix my problem more likely?  If this is not the case, what I should try?

2 - does anyone know where I can find the BIOS HP version 3.15 for the motherboard ASUS P5LP - THE (and I need a version of vista/xp of the BIOS or is it important?

Thanks for the help.

It is possible, at a distance, you need to install the SATA ACHI drivers on this model.

See if there is a setting in the BIOS under storage options to change the setting from ACHI to IDE, if such an option exists to the controller.

If it is set to DCIS, is why you can not install XP without loading the AHCI drivers at the F6 prompt you get when you start the installer of XP.

Vista and W7 have these drivers as part of the Setup disk, where XP does not work as it was released before such things ACHI.

If you have such a context and can change to IDE or legacy, XP will load right up.

    Hello my dear, I have a laptop model

    HP Pavilion dv5-1020el

    I forgot the bios password for my laptop. If I reset bios password through Master reset code.

    When I enter the wrong password, I got system disable error and code 8-digit code is 84005191

    and I have also mentioned that the model number now if someone help me and give me the reset code, I'll be very grateful.

    To reset the BIOS password, you must clear the CMOS settings. To clear the CMOS settings, you must remove the RTC battery and place it after 2 minutes. Here is the link to the Service Manual of your laptop:

    The computer does not start in Windows now.  She keeps just recycling.  I have tried taking the cmos battery and the memory sticks, wait a few minutes, drain the power by pressing the power button.  Then I put it in.  That does not help either.  Where is the original Bios and how I put on my machine to make it work again?

  • Bios HP Pavilion DV6-1360EP problem

    Before you start, I don't know if I'm in the right section, so sorry to this topic.

    My friend has an HP Pavilion DV6-1360EP, he told me he did a Bios upgrade (but he has forgotten of me said if it install it successfully or if it failed) and now when you turn on the computer it gives 3 beeps if I am not wrong, the screen remains completely black, but you can still see the lights near SHIFT NUMLOCK and caps lock.

    I tried to do a hard reset and the key combination which is here, http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02693833, I want to do part 2 using a usb key, but since I can't access the HARD disk I do not have the HP_TOOLS or the bios (.bin? extension) backup.

    Any help how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    P.S. If any other information is needed I will answer you immediately.

    I downloaded this version and extract to the pen, to play with the platform.ini I found the name of the file fd must be the same name door in there something like:

    [Platform_Check]
    flag = 2
    PlatformName = 3627
    PlatformName2 = 3628
    PlatformName3 = 3629
    PlatformName4 = 3623
    PlatformName5 = 3624
    PlatformName6 =
    PlatformName7 =
    PlatformName8 =
    PlatformName9 =

    Believe in this, I made several copies of the FD file and rename them 3627, 3628, 3629, 3623 and 3624 and then copied these 3 times more and change they are extensions of .bin file to sync, ROM and the other without.

    In the end, I got 4 files with the same 5 name each.

    I just copied in pen incluiding others files (ie: insydeflash.exe) and tried with Windows + B method, it took 3 minutes, a beep every second, I assumed that the computer was looking for files on the right and then beeps decreased to 2 seconds, I think he was trying to install , after that he stop, after that I tried to start, but it was the same thing.

    In any case I think this method could work I just need to find the right version, how you think Zaq?

    While I wait for answer you, I'll try with the link that you gave me.

  • HP Pavilion P6 2055sc: Cant enter BIOS because graphic card problem.

    Hey!
    So for the moment, I try to turn on virtualization, I m able to boot the computer into windows but do not enter network boot (anti-spam f10 key before the HP loading screen) but because of the past problems, I struggle to get into the BIOS.
    It all started when I got a new (Asus Geforce GT740) graphics card and this caused my computer not being able to start, without forcing in the network boot.

    But like I said, when im trying to get into the BIOS, it gets to the screen where it says "Press Escape to access the Boot Menu" which, at that time, it ignores when I press ESC.

    I tried holding it, I tried all the keys F1 - F12, but nothing makes a difference, so im wondering if there is a way for me to get into the bios and work around this problem.
    I looked for so updates to the BIOS, but I couldn't find one so far.

    @alilleland, welcome to the forum.

    The reason for which the computer would not start with the GT installed 740 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  If you always use the GT 740, I suggest to withdraw to see if you can enter in the Boot Menu.  You can do that by typing the ESC key as soon as the computer begins to start.

  • Pavilion g6 - 2379sr: graph Pavilion g6 problem

    Hello!

    I have problems with my HP Pavilion g6 - 2379 sr video drivers.
    Windows 8.1 operating system (x 64)

    Graphics card: Intel HD 4000 + AMD 7670 M

    When I first installed Windows 8.1, my Intel HD graphics drivers and AMD, the two came via WIndows update, everything worked, except fans made a lot of noise even when the PC is idle. I was suggested that I should install the official graphic drivers by manufacturer. So I downloaded the AMD drivers (which should include the drivers Intel aswell)
    on the site of HP my laptop support specific. And now the fun part begins, applications that turned 55 frames per second before, now, is down to only 3 to 5 images per second, no matter what gpu are assigned.
    I have no object in the BIOS settings related to switching of graphs, and no BIOS update is available for my laptop running WIndows 8.1 (there are updates to the BIOS for windows 8, but I'm not sure if I should use this driver for the update).

    Device Manager indicates that two graphics cards work fine, but of course, they are not.

    Any kind of help would be welcome!

    Solved my problem!

    Apparently the drivers for HP support are not the best choice!
    What to do if someone has the same problem:

    1. download the latest drivers Intel HD of the Intel Download Center (make sure that the drivers downloaded matches your Intel processor generation).
    2. download the latest AMD catalyst AMD Download Center.

    3 disable internet access for the entire process stop windows update to automatically install the drivers. (do not enable internet access until all the drivers were re-installed manually).

    4 uninstall the Intel HD drivers via the control panel - uninstall programs.

    5. restart the PC.
    6. express uninstall all the drivers AMD via Control Panel.

    7 restart the PC.

    8 install the Intel HD drivers.

    9 restart the PC.

    10 install the AMD drivers

    11 restart the PC.

    12 turn on the internet connection.

    Now you should be fine, also fixed my problem whitch I previously had on fan makes a lot of noise all the time.

  • Pavilion g6-1d21dx: long time driver or BIOS on Pavilion g6-1d21dx number may not resume from sleep mode or Hibernate mode

    When my g6-1d21dx Pavilion was still fairly new, Windows 7 has started to hang whenever I tried to resume from standby or hibernation, and I couldn't get back to work until I held the power button down to force the computer to restart.

    Now, I did a clean install of Windows 32-bit 10, and everything works fine, except for - big surprise - repeated from the previous day and hibernation. Windows 10 adds quick start to the mixture, which also does not work properly, probably because it's a similar feature.

    HP already explained the cause of this problem, or provided a fix? The BIOS I have is F.49, but the projection of BIOS newer on the product page is a F.48. Maybe I need to reduce my BIOS? I saw a post where someone has talked to return to F.46 to fix very similar if not same problem on another model of Pavilion g6. In any case, anyone who is familiar with this issue?

    More details:

    If the quick start is activated, whenever I put him computer have a BSOD and reboot. Usually, the error is unexpected_store_exception but I also had kernel_data_inpage_error a couple of times. The computer appears in the standby mode and Hibernate successfully, but when I try to resume it turns his wheels for a little while and then just restarts, usually without error message. For the moment, I have quick start disabled and sleep and Hibernate in my power options.

    Thanks for any relevant information.

    The solution for me was to install F.46 revision of the BIOS. I got F.49, and the latest version available on the support site is a F.48. I don't know if there is a downside to this...
