  I tried to download sp71579.exe using two different computers on different Internet connections using different web browsers, but the same problems occur. I also tried to disable the antivirus, but that did not help either.

  Thanks for any help you can provide!

  "Old way" is the quote that comes to mind, and there is a link to a post on the Z620 mirroring of your question:

  here

  With very old BIOS versions like what you have, you will need to step up the BIOS versions in order.  You don't need to intensify in each version, just a couple of big no.

  Keep us updated... I think you will like the new BIOS versions, and I post it is better to update the BIOS to go into BIOS, rather than inside Windows.

  More recent versions of the UEFI suport Sapphire cards if it is stated in the specs on the website of the company. Perhaps you should consider returning and its replacement by a new PCIe card.

  Here is the list of specifications to Sapphire in the link below. Notice that most of the R9 series supports UEFI. There is no map of R7 series made my Sapphire Tech who take care of UEFI.

  you try to download a new copy of it?

  I did and it worked.

  try to download and try to install on another PC and see if the error is the same. It will not install on another PC, it checks to see what the BIOS is the first. But the error you report no has nothing to do with the BIOS, it tells me the downloaded file is corrupt and since I just tried to download and install and it worked, it tells me the file on the server is good.

• HP envy 17-J006ED: failed to UPDATE the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a laptop of 17-J006ED DESIRE; Bought in December 2014. On the HP site, he had advice for the update of the BIOS. I downloaded the SP76843.exe file. I run the application directly from Windows; so I did not create a USB drive. I had the idea that the update went well.

  The computer restarted, but I got a black screen. Sometimes the Caps Lock key light flashes twice.

  In this forum, I found the following solution:

  So what I did I a Flash DRIVE to fat32 formatted and named HP_TOOLS and downloaded the latest bios installation exe file. Drag the .fd file you want the downloaded exe file. Then click and there will be 3 options. With the installation of device (removable media) select continue it with her. It will create subfolders and insert the bios file in the right place. It will be converted to a different format (bios file will be decrypted). The above steps have been completed by another computer. Take the corrupt laptop battery and hold the power button / stop for 10 seconds or more. This will reset all active tension. Do not replace the battery but plugging the USB and plug it into the power. Now hold Windows key and the 'B' set key and the power button. Hold the three buttons until the CAPS lock led flashes once. Release the power button and hold Windows + B keys together until CAPS lock led flashes constantly. Wait a few seconds and it will automatically boot via USB on the screen of the bios recovery.

  I followed these instructions. It is not worked.

  Please, help me

• Failed to update the BIOS on Satellite A500 - 1C0

  I was so stupid and according to Toshiba Tempro advice that I downloaded the latest BIOS update 1.50 - WIN.
  Update stucked at 56%. After hours of no response I've stopped manually.

  Now the nb is dead... only for the power supply and fan works... Is there something that needs to be done?

  I'm afraid you should contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
  In the future to pay attention to all this and do not touch the well-executed system.

  I have 3 years old Satellite P200 and it still works with the original version of BIOS.

• Pavilion H8J91EA #ABU: failed to update BIOS on H8J91EA #ABU

  Has had a major disaster last night.

  Tried to update the BIOS on a Pavilion H8J91EA #ABU failed; Displays the boot block update message (or something like that - don't remember exactly) message stayed on the screen for centuries and then blacked out.  Now, the machine seems totally dead.  I tried the method of recovery of bios key 'Windws-key' and 'B' without result.

  Does anyone know if this feature is supported on the #ABU H8J91EA

  Thank you

  It sort!

  After failing to install the new BIOS understandable machine does not start.

  The option Windows key & B to retrieve the original BIOS is supported on this model but would not work.

  If you leave the machine off for a few hours the BIOS recovery works fine the first time try you it. but once the BIOS has loaded the system was unable to restart to complete the installation. Returning to the State where you cannot call the BIOS recovery feature and the machine is completely dead.

  Solution in my case was...

  • Power down machine
  • Leave for a few hours
  • Turn on, all holding the key windows and 'B '.
  • Wait for the BIOS recovery to start and release the keys.
  • Answer all questions and wait for the reboot to start.
  • If it does not start, turn the machine off and leave for a few hours.
  • Turn on the machine, and with a little luck, the boot will continue.
  • Answer any questions that you are asked, and wait.
  • Breathe a sigh of relief...

  I hope it's useful to someone.

• HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX: updated the BIOS F.29 don't switch HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX Ati graphics card

  Hello

  I have HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX and recently I was updating my drivers and software from the HP Web site for my laptop. Everything was done smoothly. As I updated my BIOS, I noticed that I was not able to switch between ATI Radeon 5650 and Intel HD Graphics, then I was also shocked that he wasn't showing a charger plugged into icon too. Although the battery was charging but didn't show any icon for it. I am running Windows 7. After a few days, my battery was went wrong and was not in charge. I bought the new battery from HP Store for my laptop, and then after a few days now he is dying too. My computer laptop suddenly stops on about 30% of battery remaining and battery does not charge. I arranged another charger and plugged, but once more. I gave the laptop to the service center local and got NO from them as well. They couldn't find the problem. After a lot of research and reading messages HP, I finally understood that it was the problem with the BIOS Update and Windows 7. So, out of curiosity, I installed Linux RedHat 6 on windows 7 and everything was OK. But I am a graphic designer for Linux is not a good choice for me. I want to just restore my BIOS in its original version of the default BIOS. Please kindly help me to get my original BIOS. I tried everything on my hand. I also ask HP to the original versions of the drivers like BIOS on its Internet site. My laptop is dying. Please, Experts, I need your kind assisstence. Thanks in advance

  @AbdulRaheem25

  Create the key USB HP Diagnostics of material 3-in-1 PC and boot to it.

  If you updated the BIOS from the old version will still be in a folder of your operating system. Use the method I proposed to get it back.

  If you are unable to read the instructions on the web page of Diagnostics of material for the HP PC, then I suggest that you pay someone to do it and create the flash drive for you.

• HP Pavilion Notebook N9R33EA # a: problems with the BIOS update (HP Support Assistant)

  I was offered an update of software SP77359, which seems to me to be an update of the BIOS provided by HP Support Assistant. Version F.82Ap1. Two days ago, I updated the BIOS via the support and, on the report wizard got an other update via the support Wizard. I applied this patch to find that it was still an other BIOS update and now, which has been applied this third update has appeared. Please let know us how I do.
  
  The model number of my machine is actually N9R33EA #ABU (as reported by the Assistant to support) but ths was too long to type in the name of the product.

  Your laptop is a HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab208na (ENERGY STAR) for later use.

  I wouldn't update. Simply click the X to remove the download and install the list in the help Wizard.

  The current version on your laptop support portal is F.8.1

• HP Pavilion dv9260nr does not start after the bios update

  After the HP Health Check, it was recommended that I have updated to the current bios.  After you have downloaded and installed, the computer would not start.  Instead, it emits a long beep and 2 short beeps and the screen is blank.  How can I recover a bios update failed?  Is there a way to return the computer to the bios Setup?

  I thought I would post here to help others as I just spent 5 hours to fix this problem. I have personally experienced this on two different computers, both are model DV9260NR. I woke up in the long and short two beep power. The first time it happened, I tried to fix the BIOS by using the recovery disk, but it didn't work. I tried this using a USB floppy like any other player. The floppy drive should get accessible, then machine would be on a second beep then stop, but it would remain under tension. The first time around I gave up and eventually return it to HP as it was under warranty. This time above the current problem computer is more under warranty so I decided to test out of old college. After trying several discs crisis different Phoenix, I finally found one that worked.

  I downloaded crisdisk.zip here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?3ccb9m0kv0m

  Followed by the latest bios from HP for the DV9260NR

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp42001-42500/sp42187.exe

  I used 7 - zip to extract the files in sp42187.exe and crisdisk.zip

  go to the folder where you extracted sp42187.exe and rename it to 30BBF2D. WPH into the BIOS. WPH

  Copy BIOS.wph to the folder where your snippet CRISDISK.zip

  I have created my disk in Vista, so don't worry about going "Real DOS".

  YOU MUST USE CRISDISK TO CREATE THE DISC!  SIMPLY COPY THE RIGHT FILES ON A FLOPPY DISK DID NOT WORK!

  Open a command prompt, I used command.com not cmd.exe

  CD to the folder CRISDISK.

  At the prompt enter: "CRISDISK. "BAT HAS:

  Finally, put in a blank disk and follow the instructions.

  Once the disk created, slap this puppy in a floppy USB drive and plug it into the computer.  I didn't need to use as or Windows + B, B FN hotkeys to trigger the BIOS recovery. The system entered in the BIOS for me recovery mode and tried to access the USB floppy.  I noticed that not all USB ports will work.  I plugged my USB stick, floppy to the next to the power supply.  If all goes well just turn on the computer with connected USB floppy drive and the disc in the drive. As before the system beeps once per second during playback of the disc.  The disk activity, arrested again, but this time that the system kept beep immediately after discontinuation of access to the drive.  These beeps point you out that the BIOS is flashed, it's just leave turn. When it was made the machine itself set off.  If yours is not, so I doubt that the BIOS recovery will succeed. I then unplugged the USB floppy drive, turned on again and to my surprise I was greeted by the HP and the BIOS logo!  I hope this helps people difficulty of their DV9260NR.  I met four dv9260nr machines and two of them does not update the BIOS using WinPhlash and the finished machine trashed, not good statistically.  I hope that others with the same model will be able to get their machinery running. I'd be curious to know if it works for others.  Post here if you are or do not succeed using this procedure. Good luck!
