• Update BIOS B575 Lenovo

  Apparently Lenovo B575 does not offer an update on my BIOS. The reason why I asked is because the original battery went dead on me. So I brought it to 3rd party vendor. Since I put in a new battery, the laptop shut down itself, whether inside or outside the charger. I contact the seller and they told me to update my BIOS, because he's trying to find what the original battery. I look everywhere, but not a single forum helped me.

  I decided to return the back stack! Thanks for your help Shiv_K

• Problems graph/WinUpdate problem/updating BIOS-> XC-605-EB31

  Hello world!

  I've been trying to contact support any longer, but for some reason, my SNID and S/N are never recognized...

  Anyway,.

  I have an AXC-605-EB31, which was Windows 8, processor Intel Core i5 4440, 1 TB of disk at the base, hard, Intel HD graphics, DDR3 memory.

  As I started for the first time, there was an update immediately for Windows 8.1. After a Win8.1 update a few monts after I received my computer, one of my games have started to bug out, and I heard him could have been caused by the game itself being too old for the card intel that was too powerful for her. In the end, I left the game and never returned to it. I think I did something at the time, but I can't rememeber. I could have tried to downgrade it to a certain point.

  Over time, the Windows 10 updated by, so I signed up and got the update the day 1.

  I should mention that I've had several accidents of graphics card, happening from time to time. But I expect an update Win10 to solve the problem.

  Later, Minecraft, a reason some have had problem loading textures and I still do not know why. At time, came on the Acer website to try to get support but could not do it all (and I didn't not Community existed...), so I went to Intel to try to solve the problem... to nothing does not. In the end, I decided to get a new card graphics (a Radeon HD 6450) to replace the current one buggy. He solved the problem... but no accidents.

  and here are the problems I have lately:

  Graphics cards crashes at least once a day,

  Graphics cards shows me a strobe of light whenever I try to update to the latest version.

  Microsoft Update gives me a 'White' error message when you try to update the most recent updated (I'm stuck on Version 10240)

  When we talk in the Microsoft community, we arrived at the conclusion that I need to update all the drivers (I did each of them manually, using the Exe file in each pack, even the Intel graphics card, but I'm not sure it worked properly...) and update my BIOS.

  My current BIOS Version is "P11 - A0" and the most recent is "P11 - B4". I was told to be extremely Moses with the update so I read the 'Readme' inside the packaging... but still don't know what to do.

  So I would like some support as to how I can update my BIOS, the issues I currently have:

  -What does it mean by "Booting Windows system"?

  -Where the 'BIOS package'? The provided screenshot says 'C:\D11\Normal\Win', but it makes no sense as I am launched on "C:\Windows\System32." And I'm stuck here like he told me to go and place the BIOSon... a flash drive which is 'E; \ »

  -Do you think I'm on the right track with what might cause the problem?

  Thanks for taking some time with me.

• Help: Problem updating BIOS

  I don't know much about computers, but I don't know that it is good to make sure that they are kept up-to-date. So I decided I was going to look into that, I should try to update. I've updated a few things, but then I fell on the BIOS. I found the HP guide on finding what current version is already on my computer (Insyde F.12, 04/09/2012) and then reviewed to ensure whether there was the updated version.

  Here is the list that came under my computer BIOS information.

  

  It appears as if there was a 5 BIOS updates. My computer meets the system requirements for the most updated version, but every time I tried to download it says "BIOS HP environment does not exist. Please insert a USB flash drive into a USB port on the PC to create the USB STICK recovery HP BIOS that could be used to recover another PC HP. »

  I plugged in my flash drive, did all the steps, and then it appeared.

  

  I turned off my computer laptop, plugged the flash drive, turned back on and it remained blank for 30 seconds and there was no flashing of the led. Just in case I checked and my BIOS is always the same.

  Please help me with this and understand that I don't know much about computers, so try to keep minimal jargon or explain.

  Thank you.

  Thank you to offer assistance, but I actually understood the reason why it did not work. As I said there have been 5 different updated since my version rather than simply jump on the BIOS updated so I had to do each one individually.

• Equium A210 - after update BIOS problems connect to MSN Live Messenger

  Hello

  I just installed the latest update of the Bios for my Equium A210, as has been the first time results attempted this \i watched carefully and everything seems to go correctly but the laptop is restarted, it beeps and showed a checksum error, I chose the option to reboot with 'Default settings'

  Since that I got problems to connect to MSN Live Messenger and I wondered if this might be something to do with the Bios Update, it is also possible to 'come back' to the old Bios somehow?

  Thank you
  Lee

  Hello

  your question isn't really a related problem of the machine. The "Checksum Error" is normal after each update BIOS since the checksum of the BIOS which consists the BIOS settings and the version of the BIOS is not correct due to a modified version of BIOS.
  So, the next time that you update your BIOS you will get a "BIOS checksum error" again. Worry not Don t, it s nothing serious.

  With regard to your Messenger:
  1. uninstall the Messenger
  2. download the latest version from the MSN site
  3. install a new
  4. have fun

  Welcomes ;)

• Satellite L750D - update BIOS 2.1 and its problem

  Hello

  I have little problem. I was downloaded from your website 2.1 BIOS for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).

  I have been updating BIOS 2.1 and start the problem with the sound. When I start the game, music or else minutes 2 first sound plays correctly but then it stops without reason. No noise at all. I've been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.

  Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Each application to start with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all silent is. I did a probe on my laptop the mother she s a computer portable twin. I have updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My OS is win 8 64 pro my laptop mother is with win 7 x 64 premium.

  Two BIOS updated ver 2.1 on L750D and the problem is the same. Please fix the BIOS.

  The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago, so to be honest, I doubt that his and BIOS problem.

  I had the similar problem with my other laptop equipped with a Realtek sound card.
  The sound appeared after connection and remove the headphone jack
  But I could solve this latest installation updated audio driver the Realtek driver page.

  But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek audio chip but the Conexant audio chip.
  Therefore, the solution could not be useful for you.

  However, I think that you need to update the audio driver. I recommend you google for driver Conexant SmartAudio HD and test the latest version of the driver available.
  On the internet, I find the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7 / 8 Win / Win 8.1
  Not quite sure if this is the latest version, but you can test it.

  To manually update your driver:

  1. go into the Device Manager (right click on my computer, choose manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
  2. right click on the device you want to update and choose Update driver software
  3. choose Select the location of the new driver manually and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver

• Startup after update BIOS problems

  I recently updated my Alienware Aurora R4 for Windows 10, that satisfies me, but I noticed that my fans have been reallt strong during startup and shutdown, and I had to reset manually in my Alienware Command Center application which caused irritation, so after minimal research, I saw that one of the proposed fixed has been update BIOS I foolishly thought would be a quick easy thing to try, so I updated the BIOS version A7 to A11 day because I was not aware of the flashing, which I realize now, I should certainly have done. In any case, the update seems to work fine, no freezes or crashes and I just restarted my computer and stop was normal. When he started upward again if, instead of start properly, he showed a 10 windows screen that says: "your computer encountered a problem and needs to restart" with an error that says INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. When it has rebooted, I went into my BIOS settings and that he made sure that my the first boot device has been "hard drive" (I have two discs SSD, a HARD drive, but they have never caused me problems before and nothing has been fixed when I took out the HARD drive without windows on it). So far, I restarted a bunch of times and tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

  simple tips I gave to a member of the forum the other day (it is possible that the bios update is back your settings to "default"):

  • Check your bios, game sata AHCI controller
  • set the boot device as HDD #1
  • others had the chance in the bios, go to 'legacy boot.
  • remove all external usb devices for now accept keyboard and mouse back.

• Envy 17 3010eg: upgrade to Windows 8 and update Bios: no switchable graphics and other problems

  Hello

  I'm of the Germany, but I'll do my best to write this in English.

  The product name and number: HP Envy 17 3010eg {information}

  Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

  Drivers: everything up to date

   

  Long story short,

  I just wanted to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit to the new Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

  So I waited until the driver for Windows 8 support has been completed by HP.

  This month, I noticed that HP has released a graphic driver for Windows 8.

  Happy as I was I installed Windows 8 immediately via upgrade function.

  I installed all the missing drivers.

  * Update Bios to F.08*

  I noticed that I had to upgrade my Bios to version F.08 to install new graphics drivers. I did the upgrade and installation of the driver.

  BUT after the update to the version of the Bios the laptop only F.08 recognized the AMD graphics card. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card had disappeared!

  Even after installing the new graphics driver, the Intel card is still missing in the 'Device Manager' of Windows 8.

  The battery life is now about 1 1/2 to 2 hours maximum because the laptop always uses the card AMD.

  So I looked in the 'new' Bios, but I have not found a way to change the graphics card. So I think that there is only a 'software' switch to do so.

  I have installed "AIDA64"and look under "Graphics".» The graphics card Intel HD 3000 has been mentioned as 'disabled'.

  Nice, but I have no idea how to turn it on again.

  So I re-installed Windows 8. This time, I did a completely clean install. With the same results.

  So, I switched to Windows 7, and there you go. Two graphics cards are displayed in "Device Manager" and the switchable graphics feature works perfectly (! even with the new version of the Bios F.08!).

  * Tested in Bios Version F.09*

  Yesterday, I noticed another Bios Update. This time in version F.09.

  So, I updated the Bios with Windows 7 installed.

  Everything went well (I thought!).

  Once, I've done a completely new installation of Windows 8 to take a peek, if Intel HD 3000 card will be recognized this time.

  BUT without success...

  So, I thought that the problem could only be Windows 8, because Windows 7 works perfectly.

  * Problems with Bios Version F.09*

  BUT then, I noticed a strange behaviour of my laptop:

  -proximity sensor no longer works

  -the keyboard backlight cannot be (DIS-) activated

  -the brightness of the backlight is half as usual

  -internal fans are going crazy-> they accelerate without reason (laptop is idle) and won't slow down until I do a re-boot

  * Version of the Bios downgraded to F.05*

  So, I spent to the version of the Bios to the older Version available: F05

  And I was a little shocked by the result.

  Windows 8 acknowledged the Intel HD 3000 graphics card again!

  The problem is the Bios!

  Then, I upgraded the version of Bios version to see which version of the cause of the problem:

  Œuvres F05

  Œuvres F.06

  F.08 does not work

  F.09 does not work

   

  So I decided to stay with the version F.06

  BUT to install the new Windows graphic 8 driver you need the version of Bios F.08 (min.).

  I installed the driver anyway...

  I found myself with a black screen... I had to reinstall Windows completely.

  Yet more long story short,

  I ended up using Windows 8 Pro 64 - bit with the graphics card AMD only.

  I also updated the Bios (back) to the version F.08 dispelled the problems with the version of the Bios F.09 I mentioned.

  So for the moment I am absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

  The support has not yet heard of these problems and I have not found any website which explains the same problem.

  Every posting, I found explains that the AMD card is not recognized by Windows 8 but Intel HD card.

  Someone else got the same problems?

  What do you think? Is it really a problem with the Bios?

  What can I do to solve the problem?

  for me the best driver are:

  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:

• Want DV6-7300ea problem of updating Bios with SSD

  Hello

  Recently, I swapped my HARD drive to the STRANGE Bay and put an SSD in the startup location.  Everything works fine until it was update the BIOS to the new version F.26.  After having downloaded the update and run the .exe, the computer restarts and the normal blinking screen comes up - everything seems as it should and checks the update. Then, the system reboots and what I see is a black screen with the fan turns. He accomplishes this task for 30 seconds, then stops and goes through the same routine. I left for an hour, but no progress so I removed the battery and swapped the HARD drive in the main Bay. Put running the laptop and it displays the screen "Boot Block update" and continued to work as usual.

  No idea why he won't not on-screen "update Boot Block" with the SSD in as peripheral to start?

  When you start the update of the BIOS ROM file performs a check of the configuration of the laptop. The coding of the met the STRANGE unexpected update and configuration SSD as your laptop went into a loop. When you have returned the laptop on its original config that apparently satisfied with the softpaq update BIOS and completed its task. Now, we know the results of the portable non-standard configurations on the BIOS updates.

  Thanks for posting this has happened and the final result.

• X 220-unable to update BIOS

  Greetings

  I can't update the BIOS on the Thinkpad listed below.

  I tried to run the CD version of starting the program update (using the CD player in dock), and it reports the error:

  "The system file is not correct for this system.

  Windows BIOS update program reports based on the error (in or out dock):

  "The process does not have this system. The process has been cancelled.

  The Lenovo support page lists the new BIOS as being appropriate for this model. The BIOS reports the correct model and serial number.

  I want to update the BIOS only as part of a software reload / refresh of the laptop. No real problem with BIOS current to my knowledge.

  Does anyone have a suggestion?
