  • Cannot change the BIOS settings

    Hi all, I hope someone can advise on this? I have a HP Pro X 2 612 G1that I am unable to change the BIOS settings on. I can access the BIOS, but the options are grayed out. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version without the determination of the question. Any information is appreciated.  Thank you...

    Hi, I have found the BIOS can not be change, unless an administrator password is set for the BIOS for a system used at home I have never set a BIOS password and think it should be owners choice but that I'm just a grain of sand in this big world! Thank you all

  • Changed some BIOS settings, after restarting, no visible BIOS on HP Envy h8-1514eo

    Product name: HP Envy h8-1514eo

    Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit

    I've been playing with some settings in the BIOS menu to activate the integrated Intel video card and at the same time to disable the nVidia card. I entered the settings menu to start, I think, and the 'advanced options', I chose 'Device Options '. I don't remember the exact path.

    In the "Device Options" menu, I changed the following (the previous values are in parenthesis):

    Embedded video: enable (disable)

    Configuration of the PCI graphics:

    NVIDIA VGA controller: No bootable (primary VGA device)

    Controller Intel VGA: VGA primary (unit Non-boot)

    After you save the changes and restart, I can is nothing, only a black screen, see until Windows 8 starts finally. Restart of Windows 8 and by choosing to enter the UEFI boot menu, according to me, it does, it's just that I can't see it. If for example I knocked right 'ESC' key and the 'Enter' key, it starts with Windows 8 new (what I guess, is that I first the "discard changes and exit" which I confirm with "Enter".)

    My question is: how to revert the changes I made in the above BIOS as I am unable to see the BIOS menu entries and do not know where to find the options I changed earlier?

    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards

    Veroslav

    Managed to solve it blindly as follows

    Hold down f10 during a boot for a while

    Assume that "feature" was selected by default.

    Has assumed the following file menu structure)

    Information System, about, Set Time and Date, apply default and exit...)

    Arrow down to x 4

    Enter x 2

    On the next reboot I got the (visible) start BACK menu.

    SOLVED.

    Hello

    What do you use for security?

    If you are using an Internet Security Suite, it will have its own firewall and disables the default Windows Firewall.

    And you should have only one firewall to avoid problems related to the operating system.

  • "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424 ' how to fix this?

    I get this error: "firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424"when I try to turn on the Windows Firewall (Windows 7).  I am also unable to start my computer in safe mode.  My computer has been infected by the virus 'Win 7 Security 2012', which is what caused this damage to my system.  The virus also seems to have removed all the system restore points before the infection!  I believe that I have the virus completely deleted.  I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, Kapersky Virus Removal Tool, antivirus Ati Avira (anti-virus program I was running when my computer has been infected by the virus) & Microsoft Security Essentials.  I ran the Scan SFC, a tool for emergency response Microsoft Support, Microsoft FixIt, ComboFix, & Tweaking.com Windows Repair all-in-One.  Repair Windows Tweaking.com seems to be turned Action Center back, where I now get a message that: "Windows Defender is turned off" & it does not seem to recognize MSE as my anti-virus program.  I need to know how to get Windows Firewall works again & get Action Center working properly again.  My computer has a partition with my Windows Recovery on it, but since I can't start in safe mode, I can not also start the restore partition to do a "repair" install, or even restore to factory settings!  Can anyone help?

    Also, when I use a search engine on internet, I get re-directed to a site that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the result of the research, and I click on... I am not that so that is proof that the virus is not COMPLETELY gone or not.

    Thanks Robear,

    Today, I just made "Reset PC" to make it back to my factory setting (even if I lost all my data, but I've got to the top of it). Then, I used "Norton Removal Tool" to remove Norton who was there in orginal factory setting.

    Now, I tried to run "Windows Defender" & "Windows Firewall" both are running without any problem.

    Thank you much for the help.

    Hello Derek

    Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and change the order of boot devices. This option is under the STARTUP tab. Otherwise, you can insert the recovery CD when the unit is turned OFF. Turn it on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a few seconds and unit is forced from the CD/DVD drive.

  • How to change the BIOS settings to read the Norton CD?

    In accordance with the instructions of Norton, I need to temporarily change the BIOS setting so that my computer will read the CD that has a Norton Bootable Recovery tool to start the computer. Norton's other attempts to remove the W32. SillyFDC.BDP worm failed, so they recommend using their recovery tool. How can I change the BIOS? Thank you.

    You may or may not need to change the BIOS settings.  Assuming that you have a bootable CD with this tool, put it in your CD drive and restart the computer.  One of the 3 things will happen:

    1. the computer starts from the CD and you can follow all instructions you have Symantec.

    2 watching very carefully that the computer starts.  You may see a message that says something like "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  If you see this message, press a key (for example, the space bar) and the computer boots from the CD.

    3. watch very carefully that the computer starts.  You will see a message that says something like, "to change settings, press F1."  The key that you press on will be different depending on your particular computer.  It might be F1 or F10 or del key.  Whatever it is, press this button and you will enter the BIOS configuration utility.  From there, you can change the boot order to CD first.  Directions to navigate the BIOS Setup will be displayed on the screen, but they will involve using the button tab, enter, and arrow keys, because your mouse does not work in this utility.
