HP Pavilion 500 series: updates Bios

HI I was wondering tonight in my hp support center was a significant update of the Bios I was wondering if I could please get some advice on the question of whether it is a good idea to Bios if there is nothing wrong with the Bios in the first place.  Why should I update the Bios or should I not update the Bios for my hp Desktop.

Thank you for your time and help

In general, I agree with redshore.  I'm used to be of the opinion that if everything worked as planned, then leave it alone.  Since I use a HP ENVY laptop with Windows 8.1 one year, I noticed that the HP helper has done several updates that I probably have on my own, especially updates BIOS.  I don't know why there would be many updates to BIOS, so have to asuume engineers tried to fix a problem that had been reported.  As redshore, you always stand the risk of bricking the unit with BIOS update is bad and if you read the forums here, there seems to be more those happening.

Some units now have a feature where a regime of BIOS recorvery is integrated, a good idea.  You might wise to explore your PC to see if the model you have this feature for a while where you might need.

  • HP Pavilion 500-320no: updated BIOS for HP Pavilion 500-320no

    Hi HP!

    I have the same problem with the installation of update of the BIOS as other users.

    1. I have to use the update of the BIOS on an HP Pavilion 500 - 320no sp70148.exe? I tried five times through the support Wizard - but it does not work.

    Hello, Anis, my advice to you would be to let your PC as it is until HP finds a solution for this. I don't want to try what I did if they feel uncomfortable or find confusing.

    You have any other problem with your HP computer, or you just want to update the BIOS?

    If your PC works well otherwise I think it would be much safer to wait.

    I know that computers can be frustrating, but if one little thing goes wrong, when updating any BIOS of computers it will be unusable.

    For someone else think to try what I did, I advise you to wait as I said above to ANIS.

    My pc works always fine, no problem * knock wood * , but my experience goes to work with BACK & before the BASIC programming in the 1980s. If the environment was not alien to me.

    I do not know HP will find a solution before too long.

  • Pavilion 500-046: update BIOS on Pavilion 500

    Reviews of need for "HP consumer Desktoop PC BIOS Update (ROM family SSID ZAEO)." Downloaded the update, but when I tried to install, the screen went black for ten to fifteen minutes at that time, I panicked and shut down my computer. She started very well, but I am concerned about the update. Should I try again? Really should the screen be bleak for so long during the installation? It's VERY annoying. What can happen if I just don't install the update? My computer is a pavilion of 500, model 500-046.

    You are the very welcome.

    A doorstop, this is what your PC is only good for after it no longer works.

    I read a few posts from other members of the forum about the failure BIOS flashes after notification to support assistant.

    Maybe they are the same model as yours. They were recent messages last week.

    In any case, given that your PC works, I would leave it be.

    The fact that the update has been downloaded and is on your PC should be of no interest.

    It does not work by itself.  You have to find it in the folder of the file and double-click on and run the installer again.

    But if you get any more notifications of the wizard to support updates to the BIOS you can ignore them.

  • Pavilion 500-336: updated drivers audio HP Pavilion 500-336

    Here's the audio that I have on my computer: IDT 92HD65C

    Looking at the Device Manager, I see that the driver date is 07/11/2013.  Where can I find the updated drivers for this?

    The version of the driver I have right now is 6.10.6496.0

    Is there still a good reason do not update the audio drivers?

    Hello:

    The audio works fine now?

    If so, I would not update the driver.  Many problems with W10 and IDT audio.

    There is an audio driver IDT W10 on your PC support page if the Beats Audio doesn't work properly or not at all.

  • Pavilion 500-150: HP Bios Lock-Down?

    Hi all

    So I was looking for forums and thought that I had asked here: so we got a new machine and the kids want to play games, but some games do not allow internal graphics. I want to install a graphics card but do not know if it will allow the motherboard (Bios). It has a PCI slot for one but don't want to buy and install have the fans turn but have the Bios block.

    I have the power supply to upgrade the installed plant. I intend to buy XFX Radeon R7 240 2 GB DDR3 PCIe 3.0x16, video Cardinal any who think that a time I unstall drivers for the graphics of the plant and install new drivers, Bios it hangs in? Thanks in advance.

    Hi _driver51,

    I can not find the product for your model specification, are you sure it's 500-150? or it's 550-150.

    I can suggest you only focus on the speed of PCIe, the BIOS is not a problem when changing the graphics card, but you must make sure that your motherboard has the correct port for the graphics card. In this case, chetanrao_tech GeForce GTX645 sugested that is PCIe 3.0 x. Looking for a Radeon R7 240, which is also PCIe 3.0 x.

    I was looking for your model and I found 2 options:

    • The closest is the Pavilion 500-164, it supports the PCIe 2.0 x and the before mentioned graphics cards are * NO * supported, be careful.
    • The other model near your is the Pavilion 550-150, this one has a PCIe 3.0 connector x available. and previously the two mentioned graphics cards are supported completely.

    Can you take a look at your model number again just to be sure it was OK?

  • Pavilion 500 series: printer does not complete the print job & error message

    Got a HP Deskjet 2542, but recently bought a new HP, Pavilion of the 500 series desktop computer.  When you try to print a document that is located at 3 pages, it will print the first page, and then part of the second page, then an error message appears.  Went to the HP troubleshooting & tried everything, but nothing seems to fix the situation.  Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi @Themommy,

    I saw your post about the error message that appears when printing with your HP Deskjet 2542.

    I need a little more information to give you the best course of action.

    What is you receive the exact error message?

    Without this error message, I suggest trying a free tool called HP Print and Scan doctor to diagnose and troubleshoot printing problems. I recommend you to download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor, if she doesn't fix it automatically let me know what errors or messages that you receive.

    You can always try to uninstall the printer software and then by downloading new firmware for you printer. Click on this link to get the all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540 Printer series full feature software and drivers.

    Just note that you may not be able to download the software right now. If you click on the link above and you get this pop-up window, you may need to try the page later.

    Please let me know if these steps solved your problem, or you receive the exact error message.

    I look forward to hear from you!

  • Pavilion 500-339: update video card for a 500-339 Pavilion

    I have a HP Pavilion 500-339. AMD A10, processor 3.5 GHz quad-core with 8 GB of RAM, running windows 8.1, 64-bit. It came with a Radeon R7 240 video card. I know that physical space is limited inside the computer case, but what could I upgrade to that would fit? While not the biggest PC-gamer out there, I do not play a bit and I would like the best features. Thank you!

    Hello

    Without replacing the power supply, the NVIDIA GTX 750 TI would be an excellent choice. Choose a model that does not require a 6-pin auxiliary power connector.  Open your Pc and do some measures so that you know for sure that the GTX model 750 will be fit. Most should adapt to certain expectations.  Know what the return policy is before you buy.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • Pavilion 500-339: update video card for a 500-339 Pavilion... room with Ram?

    I posted a message here a few days ago because I wanted to find a possible upgrade for my graphics card. I have a Pavilion 500-339, 3.5 GHz with 8g of RAM. The video card is a Radeo R7 240 and I want to upgrade. Big_Dave said (thanks for that!) but I am facing another problem. The motherboard is good, but compact and I fear that new video card (because it is longer) pretty much sitting on top the RAM (if it fits in all). I know that my computer is not a "PC game", but would that be a problem? One more time card would still hold? What choices do I have? Thank you

    Hello

    Aries won't present a problem of heat for the graphics card.

  • Pavilion 500-368na: update the BIOS, do not install via HP Support Assistant.

    I tried four times to install a BIOS update (SSID Roma family 2AF7;) Version 80.20Ap1) provided in the Support Wizard, the update only installs on every opportunity. I get no error message. Restart the computer, but the version remains (FRIEND 80,19 (2014-07-18)) previous BIOS installed.

    I tried to stop my antivirus program, but that did not help. I noticed that hangs the command screen with a blinking cursor, but no statement is visible, and then my computer restarts.

    Is it possible that the update is corrupted? Any advice on how I should proceed would be welcome.

    Yes, HP has indeed pulled the update.  Human system is in danger and you can continue to use your computer.  Everyone here is always on my list of contacts as events change.

  • Pavilion 15-e034tx: update BIOS to F.27 of F.26!

    Recently, I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my laptop and also used the F.27 of BIOS downloaded via HP Support Assistant version.

    After installation, I forgot to install HPSA, but was still my product page are looking for updates and drivers available.

    I donot know why my laptop is not supported by Windows 10, although it it works perfectly fine... So I had to go to the download section for Windows 8.1.

    And there was a BIOS update

    Now, after my little knowledge, I know that it is absolutely wrong to downgrade the BIOS but still downloaded and gave it a try when the following screen appears

    I know that something is not here... Any suggestions?

    Whose use HPSA on W10 for this model, do not update the bios to HPSA.

    You have the latest available bios version and will probably be the last ever output version, Windows updates will find new updates of pilot, so HPSA is no longer needed on this model, uninstall it.
