HP Notebook X7W81UA #ABA: HP BIOS recommended update: should I update?

Hey guys. I just bought a new PC for the school and the HP Support Assistant program recommends an update the BIOS. Now, I know that the update is available, but I also know that you should only update in general if there is a problem as the BIOS update is risky if not done correctly.

Now since is a recommended update, I tried the update and there not twice. I don't want to keep taking chances to spoil a whole new machine just for an update which may even not been necessary in the first instance.

What I would like to know what exactly this release Add/fix on this machine? I already searched the Internet but have failed to find a description for this particular update. If someone could please take a look at the attached screen shot and let me know what this update is for, I would be very grateful. At least then I could make an informed decision about the weather or not, I will try again this update.

PC model: HP Notebook X7W81UA #ABA

Current version of BIOS: Insyde F.09

Suggested BIOS version: F.13Ap1

Thank you.

  • HP 15 Notebook G9D64UA #ABA TS: HP Windows 8.1 randomly restarting after updating the BIOS of HP Support Assistant

    Hi, I have a laptop HP Windows 8.1 and I noticed after I did the update to the BIOS of HP Support Assistant, it restarts randomly without any error message.  Is it possible to restore the BIOS if it is a BIOS problem?  The computer works fine but it restarts randomly each time than in quite awhile.

    When you restart the laptop you see error messages?

    You can restore the BIOS to the previous version by using the firmware management option in PC UEFI diagnostics.

    Plug the AC adapter and press the power button.

    Immediately, press the ESC key to call the start menu.

    Now, press the F2 key to enter the diagnosis.

    Choose firmware management.

    In the management of the firmware, you should see the option to restore the BIOS. Select it and let it do its job.

    To try to resolve some problems, that I pointed out, HP (by e-mail) Technical Support told me to update my bios and provided a link to do this. Utility Wizard help indicated 1F. B has been installed; the description accompanying the linked file is 1F.C.

    I downloaded the file, closed other programs, then run the file using administrator mode. After a few moments, the PC restarted. When I checked then the theaters help, there still reported that 1F. B has been installed. I ran the executable file again and seen on screen for messages. There is no error message. The system restarted, however the Assistant to help still reports it as 1F.B.

    I don't know if it's important but: Although this update of the Bios on the support page of the HP web site for my computer model, it does not appear as an action item when executing Tune Up from HP.

    Should what steps I take in order to successfully install the newer version of the Bios?

    [Since this is an obvious question, let me say: I have reported what happened to the HP support (by e-mail).] In their next response, there was no follow-up on this point. In my next response, I asked specifically this update failure, but their response has completely ignored the problem.]

    This is the link of BIOS that you use correct: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-115758-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5171043&sw_lang=

    If so, try the device, then execution of the BIOS updated new cyclical food.  Cycle of power, just remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC and let rest for a minute, then reinsert the battery and the AC adapter / CC and turn on.

    My Hp Support Assistant wants me to update my bios...

    I have two questions regarding this.

    1. the software to Flash the bios is not compatiable with windows 10.  It will be safe to run anyway? (Yes, I have installed a free update to windows 10)

    2 sp71055.exe f42.ap1 (corresponds to the file, it is recommended to run to my i7 from intel, patch notes (always never enough information) provide that it restores or that it provides the original bios.)

    My bios version connected is

    BIOS version / date f/34. 12-19-2014

    On a previous occasion, I thought I already flashed the bios and I was wondering if I need to restore to the original version, or it turns out is a bit 'off '.

  • Pavilion 15 M1Y29UA #ABA: manual Bios Update p78

    HP Support Assistant says update BIOS version p78 is available but fails during installation.  I downloaded the update to the BIOS (SP75294) and ran that manually, but it says the BIOS update is blocked (on Windows) and only gives me the option to create a recovery USB disk or copy the files to another location. I created the recovery USB and followed the instructions on the site to update the BIOS via the HP boot configuration utility, but it is said to use the bin file corresponding to the ID of the system board.  Unfortunately, the ID of the card system on this laptop is 8093 and bin files are:

    • 08092.bin
    • 0809B.bin
    • 080A0.bin
    • 080A9.bin

    Anyone happen to know which of these files is the correct bin file (if any)?

    Thanks in advance.

    -DJ

    Hello @desk_jedi

    Thanks for the reply!

    Try to download the new revision which was transferred yesterday and create the media as stated in the document of restoration of the BIOS, which would be the second safest way to update the BIOS. The safest way is to let the BIOS update occurred on its own thanks to the Assistant de Support HP, which may or may not have the new revision again as the site.

    I hope this information was useful!

  • HP G71 Notebook PC: problem changing BIOS

    Hello

    I just posted a question about having 4 GB of memory and the computer showing only 1 GB of physical memory.

    I saw through a post that someone recommended to go into the bios Setup and check a box and type 4096.

    The computer then rebooted and I had problems since.

    I need to be able to come back in my bios and change the setting to the value of the original.

    How do I do that?

    Thank you

  • Presario SR5100 - CPU fan failure / BIOS firmware update

    My SR5125CL Office does not start even after replacing the CPU fan. Error: The CPU fan has failed.

    Some sites, I searched recommended deactivation/check the fan under the hardware > monitor in the BIOS.
    Cannot find this menu in the BIOS. Attempted to upgrade the BIOS from:
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=2093&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=3460...

    use a different PC and it just tries to install on this PC. No options to create an update CD. Looking for other sites, same lame upgrade that involves running the OS. Even if the PC boots long enough to upgrade the firmware, it is now Windows 7 and the patch is only for Vista.

    I'll win the volunteers here and explain others to profit from my mistake. I took out the old fan to match. When I installed the fan nine days later I have it plugged into the outlet of case fan. For a CPU fan, it is not the BIOS. In any case, similar problems on the forum gave me the idea to look for another job from outlet and it is.

    Thank you

    In my opinion, this has nothing to do with the BIOS and don't think that BIOS update is a solution for this...
    However, have you intsaller the VAP (value added package) for this model of laptop computer?

    As far as I know that this is necessary in order to update the BIOS!

    Also, make sure you have disabled any software Antivirus and other security software and options!

    Hello!

    The CD/DVD drive is listed in Device Manager? You see an error code?
    If the drive is listed in Device Manager, you should try to remove it, and then restart the laptop.

    Try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

    I have a Satellite P300 (PSPC4A-03P01P)
    Currently 2 hard drives, both are partitioned.
    Disc 1 - C and D
    Disc 2 - F and G
    Current operating system on the C drive is OEM Vista 32-bit HP
    BIOS version is V4.20. 05/01/09

    I want to upgrade the Win - 7 HP 64-bit operating system
    I know that this will require a format the C partition.

    In preparation, I downloaded all the drivers for Win 7 64 bit

    My Questions:

    The BIOS will require the update to support 64-bit?

    If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
    Or these partitions will also require formatting?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    There is no relationship between the BIOS and the operating system. Thus, you need not upgrade Bios for Win 64 bit.

    > If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
    > Or those partitions will also require formatting?

    You can install the Os on C: and it will be able to read information on other partitions too.
