• HP Envy x 360: updated HP Notebook System Bios (Intel processor)

  I updated my BIOS version before (about a month) but I just found out that the HP Notebook System Bios Update (Intel processor) would have been forgotten. I actually cancelled this update and when I tried to do it again once it does me no more. I contacted the HP Chat Support at that time here and they said that my laptop was very good. I got a blue screen of death once and that's all. It was the only issue I've had with my laptop. After that I have updated to the latest version of the update of the birthday a week ago w10. I don't have any problems with it, my laptop works well. I have not encountered any problems. I just reccently bought this 2 months ago.

  Well recently, I got an update in the HP Support Assistant about an update to the Intel 10 series driver. I contacted HP Chat Support and they said that my laptop doesn't have the driver. It was an update General and not directed to any specific PC. Long story short, he said as I have no need, I don't need to update and that my laptop was fine. The Windows 10 anniversary update... Well updates everything that said the tech.

  I was just wondering:

  1. is the HP Notebook System BIOS (Intel processor) update updated CRITICISM that I really need to find a link or something to update?

  2. is it harmful that I have doesn't have the update?

  3. do I really need updating?

  4. is this the reason that the HP Support Assistant advised me on the Intel 10 series driver?

  My Version of the Driver is: 20.19.15.4377

  I hope that I have provided all the information that might help you to help me solve my problem.

  Answer all my answers and also explain are GREATLY appreciated.

  I thank very you much in advance!

  @PaulineTan

  Thanks for the reply to my post,

  And Yes you have covered everything, I hope!

  The 10-anniversary of windows update would install all updates driver concerned as well, so the BSOD issue you referred previously.

  (1) Although the update is not important, you can go ahead and install it as at the moment (this is optional).

  (2) Yes, you can, basically, there is nothing to worry about.

  (3) No, it is not critical.

  (4) No, it will not damage your computer.

  More updates to the bios contains a fix for the specific issues, published by the manufacturer of the motherboard (bios) and at this point because you don't have any problems on the computer, you don't have to install it.

  Let me know, if you need anything else!

  Kind regards.

• HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p204: UPDATE of HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT HP BIOS update for Intel processor (F43) - SHOWING AGAIN

  Hello

  I am new to the community of HP.

  I'm having a problem. Well, I can't really say it is a MAJOR problem because there is no threat to the system or anything, it's just one of those little annoying things.

  Yesterday, I updated my BIOS F.43 after being invited by HP support assistant. Update succeeded, charged back up the laptop, and the watch update STILL not installed on the HP support assistant. I reinstalled it and it still shows the same thing.

  It's just a bug and it is really installed and the wizard of support has not been updated?

  Thank you

  Hi @GarethWilliamss,

  Thanks for posting in the Forums of HP and welcome.

  I read on the HP Support Assistant and prompt you to download on your HP Pavilion Notebook 15 - p204. As you can imagine this is a glitch. Ignore the update.

  I hope this helps.

  Please let me know if this help solve the problem by marking this post as accept as a Solution.

  Thank you.

• Product name: HP Pavilion 17 N: HP Support Assistant > HP updates > update BIOS (AMD processors) - clear update reminder?

  Hello

  I got a recommended set the HP Support Assistant program to update update for HP Notebook System BIOS (AMD processors).  I installed the update to the BIOS but the HP Support Assistant still says I need to run the BIOS update.  So I ended that run the BIOS update 2 times more but it prompt update with the exclaimation point in the promgram HP Support Assistant to delay the update of the BIOS is always there to want me to install the BIOS update.

  How can I clear this reminder of update of the HP Support Assistant program?

  You are welcome!

  1. If machine BIOS update after downloading, it will automatically start the system and show you the whole process and progress.

  2 just by downloading the BIOS update does not update. However no Expert here don't advise update BIOS to do as a routine, including through HPSA.

  If an UPDATE of the BIOS damage your laptop computer, you will not be able to turn on the machine - in short - it'll be no more than an expensive paper weight.

  3 If the BIOS has been updated successfully, then you go and not be able to on & do your work in portable as usual.

• Laptop HP G60 - 538CA: update BIOS

  Hello

  I have a 32 bit OS and want to update the BIOS for my computer.

  When I look at the drivers and software page for my computer (located here), there only updates of OS 64-bit, including the update of the BIOS. I installed a lot of downloads on this page indicating that they are for 64-bit operating systems, and they work. I was going to go ahead and update my BIOS with the download on this page as well, but knowing that install evil can cause problems, I wanted to make sure.

  I just want to know if it is recommended I have install the update to the BIOS listed on this page? Thank you!

  I also want to add that information on my computer which is located on a label on the bottom of my laptop does not correspond with the information provided by the system information window when you press fn + esc key.

  Also, I have a 64-bit processor, if that means anything.

  Edit:

  I advanced and updated the BIOS and it worked.

  I have no specific knowledge about your specific laptop, but in general, if the laptop is out of warranty would only update the bios if you have something substantial to win as a flash failure could make the laptop about as useful as a brick. If you are not experiencing problems it is rarely a good idea and if update you, if so doing Windows, make sure that the computer is stable, a random crash in the process, and your computer may never start again. If you use a bootable disc make sure that it's a burn successfully by multiple checks by comparing it to the disk image, and make sure that your reader reads correctly. I made hundreds of edits and have bricked just a few laptops, but I do not always have one unless there is something important to win.

  PS. HP has an application that allows to identify and download available updates, you can probably get it to find the bios updates that are available. I used it for my EliteBook so I don't know that there is something similar for your model too.

• Problems after "WinFlash BIOS (for notebooks with Intel processors)" HP Pavilion dv6-1129tx

  Evening ladies and gentlemen.

  I installed an update for my HP Pavilion dv6-1129tx Entertainment Notebook PC today (see details below). Against my better judgment I thought having the latest version of the BIOS might be a good idea, even if my laptop worked fine as-is.

  After update BIOS F.24 I now have the following questions:

  (1) when the display on the laptop turns off due to being slowed down 20 minutes, he don't come back now. If I press any key to wake up, he will the internal speaker beep. As soon as I press power it turns directly to the output instantly.

  (2) I can restart is no longer. The portable computer shuts down normally, but when he tries to go back on it starts, but windows is not loaded and it just hangs. I have to turn off by pressing the power button, then turn it back on.

  I installed it just this afternoon and I am posting this a few hours later, so I don't have time to notice other problems of performance after the update.

  Long story short, does anyone know or have the original BIOS for my laptop (sp43821)? Or has someone at - it had the same problem and found a solution?

• Laptop HP 15-r001tu: updated the Bios PC portable HP 15-r001tu

  My laptop randomly makes automatic update of the BIOS recovery quite regularly, perhaps every two weeks, so I was wondering if this could be a problem with my laptop should I get extract? Or if it could just be normal? Thank you.

  @Kay7

  It is not random. The HP Support Assistant is usually set on install updates, as appropriate, on a weekly basis.  I took a glance at the available on the web portal of suport BIOS updates in the section downlolad. I saw that in May there were six the available BIOS updates. I highly recommend that you turn off the automatic updates in Suport of tune.  Who will take care of the issue and put control of your laptop in your hands.

  The HP Support Assistant is the only clean utility that your laptop comes able to update the BIOS on its own. Only install BIOS update when there is a reason and not just because a BIOS update is available. It is under the heading of don't fix it if it is not broken or it could break

  When the HPSA is put in place in order to review and approve the updates, you should see an icon like the following in the systray down by the system clock.

  

  This is the update that he wants me to take a look at review and choose to install or not.

  

  Advanced options HPSA. Make sure that no automatic option is selected.

  

  

• Envy laptop: update bios still running

  I got a notice from HP that there are updates for my computer. I've updated all the recommended updates, including updated Bios. After 18 hours its always updated. How long it takes and what I'm doing now is so long?

  Hello

  The update should only take a few minutes, so if it worked for 18 hours, I'd say it's blocked - stop it should be Ok.

  When you stopped, close HPSA and download the Bios Update from the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp75001-75500/sp75152.exe

  Once the download is complete, close other open windows and programs, then open your download folder and double-click the installer to start the process.  The real flash will occur when you restart the machine - do not interrupt it somehow, even if nothing seems to be happening for a while - when it is finished, the machine will load in Windows as usual.

  Kind regards

• Updated BIOS for HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO

  I was watching just the updates for my laptop and saw two updates of BIOS here.  I was actually wondering that applied to my machine in particlular.   As you can see, one is more recent that the other has a few months.  This means that there are patches that those older employed already?   If so, why the two list when only the old one is relevant?

  Look no further, in this, I took a quick glance at the history of revisions (Versions) for both, and each of them will list as "Current".  It lists as 'F.29 current 10-2013' and the other 'current F.24 02-2013 ".  So, which is actually present?

  Anyone can shed some light on this?   I can post more detailed information on my machine on request if it would help.

  The one with the later date is more current. It is customary on the computer manufacturers support sites. They will usually keep the latest versions up there with the most recent. Toshiba is particularly wrong about never remove older versions of the drivers and BIOS. And the BIOS updates are cumulative. You can skip to the last and all updates in all drafts will be included. The files are labeled clearly as to their date of issue and that they apply only to models with Intel processors, it should be obvious, that you must install the last being only your machine has an Intel processor. If you need anything anyone else let us know.

• Pavilion dv9660ev: ftp site updated BIOS for HP dv9660ev

  Hi, my laptop is a HP Pavilion dv9660ev.

  I try to find the file executable sp # .exe on the ftp site of HP for the BIOS update. He did for years, I've updated the BIOS and I don't remember the exact file.

  My Information System shows:

  The only thing I've found so far is sp48024.exe F.5A REV: has the entry date in April 5, 2010.

  Do you know if it is the version of the BIOS right for me?

  Please do not send me to tune. He shows me no update BIOS, since I already have the latest version on.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  sp48024 is the latest bios for your laptop, but I think that you already have it.  Although the posting date for this update is closed April 5, 2010, the file AVCs to sp48024 on the link below tells the bios is in fact as of March 22, 2010 - see the DetailFileInformation field.

• Nc6400 - update BIOS issue?

  Hello

  I have a NC6400 and on a recent vist the site "Download drivers and software" for my laptop, I noticed that there was an update for my BIOS.

  My mobile is the version of April 16, 2007 f.0Une and the new verson is F.0B September 5, 2007.

  However, under the section of the BIOS update, there are 4 downloads for my laptop, but I'm not sure which one I need to download: -.

  Can anyone suggest what I need to download and install, and if it's worth updated the BIOS to the next version?

  Kind regards...

  Hello:

  I have a nc6400. You would flash to F.0B version with the help of the utility of flashing for Windows/Vista operating system:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=ob-54183-1&TaskID=135&swLang=8&swEnvOID=1093&prodNameId=1847704&lang=en&cc=us&mode=2&

  However, do not Flash the BIOS if you run Windows 7. I heard some reports of poor souls bricking their nc6400 when they flashed in Windows 7.

  I agree with David 100%. Unless the new BIOS version solves a problem you encounter, or you need to Flash the BIOS so that it will support new material such as a processor that is supported in the new version of the BIOS, but not in the version that you have, then it's OK.  Always read the release notes that are provided with each revision of BIOS which list the improvements and corrections.

  In addition, you should always disable or uninstall your antivirus before trying to Flash the BIOS in a Windows environment. If you do not, your AV program can think a virus attack your BIOS, and it will attempt to interrupt the flash. You will know that everything is going well until you will restart your computer and it is completely unnecessary.

  You can even Flash the BIOS in Windows safe mode.

  the function keys tdlo can't seem to work;
  led for the "FN" key light turns on when the key so assume the FN key works, but there is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys on the f - I installed the software of the control unit as have been advised but this has not resolved.

  I also have difficulty accessing the AHCi ' mode to work in Windows XP Pro SP3. I chipset intel 965 m + ICH8M, the Intel ICH8M serial ata storage controller-2828 present in the Device Manager - the matrix storage manager does not work so I copied the file iastor.sys from the folder Manager matrix in C:/Windows/Driver/system32 and changed the registry as read elsewhere on the forum but have had no joy.

  This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
  Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
  If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

  First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
  In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:
