• Update the BIOS Alienware x 51 now does not start

  So I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 and a re-install my drivers and using the products download page on another computer Dell drivers and download them to a flash drive and upgrade on the primary computer. I have finished all updates until I got to the BIOS update, I installed in and rebooted my system, now it starts but freezes and does not move to the Alienware Logo. Just to put it out there, I have updated BIOS A08 A14. The screen that I can like normal Alienware Logo screen, showing that I use an Alienware x 51, a bar of blue loading, BIOS Version A14 and then Setup F2 and F12 Boot Options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Zach.

  Hello

  Check in the Bios (for access to the tap water of the F2 key on startup Bios) under the Startup section, look for an option called Boot Mode and make sure that its game in the UEFI. Also, make sure that the Secure Boot option is turned off, save the changes and reboot the system. Let us know how it goes.

• Pavilion HPE H8-1121: Pavilion HPE H8-1121 - new graphics card + power supply does not start after screen HP (Revisited)

  I have the same problem as this post 2013!  Ouch. Pavilion HPE H8-1121 - new map chart + power supply, does not start after HP screen.

  I installed a new power supply (Seasonic 620W), which works well.  I also installed a GTX 660Ti last year and it was works fine as well.  I recently bought a ZOTAC GTX 970 and attempted to install it, but it will not go beyond the blue HP screen and I get the same code of beeps (1 long, 3 short), who, seems, suggests that the video is not initialized.

  My BIOS date is 2011.

  Where can I find an update for this?

  I'm also using Windows 10, which I found on the HP site is not tested on my model and would probably not favourable to good use.  Should I do back up to 7 or 8?  and then update the BIOS?  Y at - it a update for my BIOS and where can I find.

  In any case, I hope that this is a solution.  Again, this is not a bad machine to be 5 years old.

  Thanks for any help!

  If the video card that you have purchased dose not a legacy vBIOS it will never start. An update of the BIOS doesn't solve that.

  It is likely that your new video card has a vBIOS UEFI and that only is for the PC motherboards newer than yours which have a UEFI BIOS. Your motherboard has a legacy BIOS. 2012 is the year of model when the UEFI BIOS more or less became the de facto on motherboards standard.

  I return it for a refund. Find the candidate of video cards that support the old BIOS. It can be inherited only or switchable vBIOS (legacy or UEFI) vBIOS.  I suggest looking at the site of Sapphire Technology. ZoTac is not known to provide enough information about their video cards in the way. You upgrade a pre-built desktop PC and it's different and a little more difficult to set up a DIY PC. I looked at the site of Zotac and see that nothing is said about their video vBIOS cards.  I would return to the map.  Carefully read the specifications of the video card. A candidate for your motherboard card must have inherited vBIOS support or simply, it won't work.

  ZOTAC (they don't say anything about their product vBIOS)

  Sapphire Technology

  Because you look at game with 4 GB cards. Take a look at the following map. It has a double vBIOS. legacy and UEFI. http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=640A98CD-0CF0-4191-B75C-CA2800111ADB&lang=eng

  

• The FireFox 42.0.1 application does not start.

  The FireFox 42.0.1 application does not start. I can uninstall and reload FireFox 37.0.2 and that worked, but now when I load 37.0.1 it installs really 42.0.1 that no longer works.
  I had to use IE 10 to contact Mozilla.
  Year annual should be ashamed of this...
  Can you tell me why Mozilla FireFox 42.0.1 installs but won't work?
  In addition, why FireFox 42.0.1 install when I try to install 37.0.2?

  It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or limit Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Equium M40X: I get to the banner of Toshiba, but Windows does not start

  When I start my 2 year old Toshiba Satellite M40X, I get to the banner of Toshiba, but Windows does not start. I tried using the recovery CD and it does not either.

  Any suggestions as to what could be the problem?

  Hello

  What do you mean with the banner of Toshiba? Did you mean the Toshiba splash screen that appears at the begging of the boot?

  Equium M40X successfully passed this screen?

  If the laptop is unable to switch to the home Toshiba screen then I presume that the BIOS has detected a hardware problem.
  In this case primarily the motherboard fails

  But if the laptop is able to spend the Toshiba start screen, the motherboard must be ok and only a 3rd device malfunction as HARD drive could cause this problem.

• Portege R700 - BIOS-update 2.20 - WIN does not work

  I have a Portege R700-172-PT311E-03201KGR
  It's a WIN 7 64 bit Machine.

  Current BIOS 1.70
  EC-current Version: 1.40

  For this machine, an update of the BIOS and IT's there.
  So I downloaded the "BIOS220_EC160.exe" update and tried to treat.

  The first message during the update process is: "it is necessary to update the BIOS and THIS.
  When I continue with "Run the update", I get the error message:
  "Error: preparation of updated failed.
  Given the image file is not compatible with this cimputer.

  There is no change in the material of the machine. The only problem I see is that we use McAfee Endpoint Encryption (V6.0.2.6) that could have some influence on the update of the BIOS.

  But I'm not sure.
  Does anyone have an ideas?

  Hello

  BIOS update is important to you?
  Do you have problems with the laptop?

  I have portable three-year-old BIOS was did not updated

  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) must be to get the updated BIOS updated. Also the firewalls and other security and antivirus preinstalled on the system software must be disabled before attempting to update the BIOS.

• Hung HP during the update of Windows. Does not start.

  HP woman desktop computer apparently hung during a Windows Update. A few hours later, she she turned off.  Now it does not start until after the blue HP screen.  I tried to boot from a backup CD, but nogo.  Cannot do anything on the blue HP screen (boot, diagnostics, etc.).  What are my options for the system restore?

  Shut down the system. Just unplug the tower including the power cord. Press and hold the power for 10 seconds. Reconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, & power. Make sure that there is no cd/dvd in the drive.

  Restart the system by pressing F8

  You should get a screen that has advanced startup options

  Select "last known good configuration".

• HP Pavilion p6210pt desktop PC: after the installation of the new module of RAM PC does not start and continues to beep.

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade the RAM on my PC. I don't know I got the correct specifications: 240 pin DDR3 PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz

  And it comes to envy, I bought, Kingston.

  The PC has 6 GB of RAM and a free slot, after I insert the new module on the free location corretly and press power, the PC does not start. It starts just a beep and the screen remains black.

  Don't know how better to explain this.

  If I take the new RAM all works normally. If I take old modules and just start by the new, the same thing happens, computer won't start not and just keeps to the beep. One of the Tweets is longer than the other, and then it repeats.

  Can anyone help please, it's just the motherboard it is too old or something?

  Thank you.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Given that your PC works with the old DIMM modules and not the new dimm then you should contact Kingston for a cure.

  I am running Windows 7 and it does not start. Automatic update started as soon as my computer is awakened from his sleep. It closed several programs. The update had completed 30% when he stopped to restart the computer. As windows began, I got a blue screen message telling me that it didn't start. I tried to restore the system at two different times, but both failed. I'm not sure that I can do.

• Satellite A210 FS3, PSAFGC-FS308C. BIOS update gone wrong.

  Hi all

  I'm looking for info on my laptop satellite who died after a bios update.

  Model is A210-FS3 (PSAFGC-FS308C)... bios uncertain.

  I updated this laptop about 6 months ago (been dormant since) through windows7 beta (I know bad idea)... after he stop it came back never to life... He does not POST... Power light just blinks.

  Is there a way to fix this without having to replace the motherboard? I read how to do this with a USB floppy, but it seems sketcky to me.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I think that the replacement of the motherboard is not necessary (in most cases).
  Maybe the ROM module has been flashed properly.
  In this case, the BIOS has to be flashed using the crisis procedure but as far as I know, this can be done by an ASP.

  I found this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48845

  The guy managed to reflash the BIOS again. But once again, it s a sensitive procedure and usually an ASP must be contacted for a solution.

• BIOS update gone wrong on a Satellite L30 - 105

  Hey.

  I recently wantet to do an update of the Bios on my laptop and at halfway through there is an error and the down closet... I clubroot working on Notepad and then later rebootet and nothing happened. Just a black with a - flashing to the top in the left corner of the screen. My guess is that the Bios is messed up and need to be reset... But I don't know where is the battery on the laptop or if it would even help take this exit for a few seconds as it would be on a desktop computer. Suggestions other then send it in. then I must be without a computer for at least 3 weeks :D

  You have no chance to solve this problem at home, you need professional help. After a bad update you can just reset the BIOS. Remove the battery will not solve your problem, it only works if the BIOS is not damaged.
