• HP Pavilion A6750Y Bios Update for Windows 7?

  Hello, I bought a HP Pavilion A6750Y years that I have been very satisfied.  I have of course updated from Vista to Windows 7, added a video card and I'd really like to upgrade my cpu.  So far, in the Support & drivers for my computer, it lists still my motherboard as being able to run up to a processor AMD Phenom 9950 x 4. I noticed however if I list my OS as Vista 64-bit, then it does in fact appear a BIOS update that would allow the MOBO to exploit some AM3 cpu. It would still work for my computer running Windows 7, or y at - it an update of the BIOS in preparation for Windows 7, otherwise I would really like to make the request. I want to spend my processor to a Phenom 2 x 4 and need my MOBO to support AM3 processors. Thank you in advance.

  Hello:

  I wouldn't update the BIOS by using Windows 7. There is more than 95% of probability you will make the PC unusable.

  HP will release no updates to the BIOS of windows 7 for your PC.

  If you want to update the BIOS, your only alternative is to install Vista, updated the BIOS and then reinstall W7.

  I had recently changed the OS of my HP Pavilion dm4t-2000 for Windows 8. After that an update of the BIOS flash me suggested by HP Support Assistant, speakers have stopped working. I tried to reinstall the Audio Codec, but it does not work. Could someone help me please?

  jaikvk,

  Go into Device Manager and uninstall the sound and restart the computer. This will reinstall the driver once more.

  Also, it could be a bad installation of the BIOS; You can go to HP.com and re download the update of the BIOS.

• Equium A110 - 276 BIOS update for Windows 7 32 bit

  "Hello everyone, I'd like to update the BIOS on my satellite A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and ' Windows Vista 32 bit. I have Windows 7 32 bit on this laptop. If I choose "OS Independent" it tells me ' Bios is NOT compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! "and if I choose" Windows Vista 32 bit ' he reads "Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!

  Exclamation points are Toshiba, not me ;)

  So I am stuffed and I need to stay with my current BIOS, or can, I use Windows Vista BIOS update?

  Thanks to anyone who can help!

  Hello

  First question; Why do you update the BIOS?
  Do you want to update only to have a newer version?
  If your Windows 7 is working well, then a BIOS update is not necessary.

  Otherwise, install Vista OS to Toshiba Recovery (if available) disk, the BIOS update and then change to Win 7 ;)

• media center m8400f pc helps recovery

  I have a media center PC and I tried to add a dual boot on my vista system, when I installed XP and restarted, he asked me what operating system to start and I tried the Vista one and the screen would just empty, XP always works and thanks to the hard work has been able to find any drivers...

  Now I want to reinstall Vista, but I have no recovery cd, when I start my system and try pressing F10 or F11, it does not launch the Recovery Manager, I can clearly see the original picture and not made by the install it of course everything messed up my settings startup, then go into my xp installed, I changed the settings in the boot.ini file thinking maybe xp changed my drive letters around and when I tried to Start vista this time, he said that he could not start because the hal.ini is not found or corrupted... I tried to create the recovery discs now because I can quite see all the files in the player, but they will not start in xp. I have already backed up all my files, now I guess my question is there a way I can restore from this factory image using some files? (by pressing F10 or F11 does not work) or can I create XP Recovery discs by burning a certain file?

  Info Tech,

  Have a quad core hp media center m8400f also pc was windows vista Home premium and xp pro sp2, my hard where the configuration is disc 1 is divided in part two partitions one where the original vista part b, is where is the factory recovery image, disc 2 part one is where I saved my documents and part b that is the installation of xp

  Used, here is a link that should help you:

  Page 4, "restore Vista Bootloader and enable the Dual-boot, should give you the information you need to solve your problem."

  Dual-boot is a great way to run the two OS' are on the same computer.  However, I suggest to use two hard drives, rather than two partitions on the same drive.  I did it both ways over the years (8 to be exact) and it's my favorite way.  Currently, I am running XP Pro on disk 0 and Ubuntu, Linux on disk 1.  It works very well.

  Let us know if this helps you.

  The bios is not dependent on OS. I think that the flash program used to update the bios work correctly under windows 8.1. Before you do the update try to make a backup of your current bios so that you can always come back if you wish. See the image below on how to do the backup and update the bios.

  I have a Hp Pavilion Media Center Edition 2002 running. How will I know if I have all the patches and updates, I need? Also is free upgrade to the edition of 2005?

  Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

  There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

  If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

  I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
