  • How to report the BIOS problem?

    Hello

    is it possible to report the BIOS problem so that a person of HP it will read and the problem will be solved if all goes well?

    To be concrete, there seems to be problem in BIOS F.02 installed on HP Mini 5103 causes of freeze if it has plugged the USB key with 'recursive partitioning' at startup. As a result, it is not possible to boot from live USB which was created from some ISO hybrids (e.g. direct ISOs of OpenSUSE recent). Since there are not many options to install the system on netbook, I think it is serious problem. My previous netbook Lenovo Ideapad S10 - 3 and also my work laptop and desktop have no problem to start with the USB stick containing "recursive partitioning", so it's certainly a problem (hopefully not feature) this concrete machine/BIOS.

    Thank you

    That's ok on the Bravo, I did nothing to help you again.  This link is for questions of security, but it is also for the firmware, so you can get away with sending them a note here:

  • BIOS problem, how downgrade

    Erkedo,

    Avoid any problems flashing the BIOS to an older version. Did you do that there is no way to manually change the video memory setting in the BIOS?

  • Windows XP Bios problem

    When you install Microsoft XP, I seem to be a BIOS problem.  The error message loads up once the disc loaded files, but until you're able to partition the drive.  The error message indicates that the hardware and BIOS are not ACPI compatible.  After reading upward, I tried to correct the problem by what the error message says to do.  First of all, try to update the BIOS.  I called my computer supplier and received the last update for the BIOS of the computer.  I installed it and nothing happened.  I resorted to the second option listed that would press the F7 key. that was supposed to disable the ACPI and force the installation. It does not yet.  I then read a few forums and they said to update a file on the disk XP (TXTSetup.sif).  So I did but nothing seems to happen.  You have other options to get this facility by?

    First of all, check that you have not hit one of the components of the PC especially the memory sticks. If there is anything loose, see the article published below. It might be useful for you.

  • (Redirected) BIOS problems on 2720

    In the framework running Windows 10 upgrades via the Dell Drivers page, he recommended that I have a flash update the BIOS of my AIO 2720, of A07 to A11. Since I was now three problems:

    1. in the BIOS (or UEFI?) the screen will blink now on and out while I fight see and edit anything.

    2. one of my partitions Windows 10 three (2 on a SSD) and the other on a hard drive also flashes on and outside, but not so fast. I reinstalled Windows 10 three times but nothing helped.

    3. everytime I turn it on, I get an error message saying that the boot device has not been detected and for inviting me to press F1. As soon as I do this - every time - the machine then starts normally.

    I always have a copy of the BIOS original and attempted to go back to that, but the machine won't let me, saying that a later version BIOS is installed.

    As if by chance, and I don't know if this is related, the option of 'sleep' in all three partitions Win 10 inexplicably disappeared after the flash upgrade and is therefore no longer available anywhere.

    I'd appreciate really any guidance. I'm not technical but moderately competent.

    Hi sykeel,

    Please repost this in the forum software and operating system, Windows 10 thread for help.

  • Click satellite 10 - upgrding BIOS problem

    Hi all!
    I have a new toshiba satellite click on 10, but when I try to update the BIOS to 1.6 it pops up an error that says "update bios image is not valid in the current bios or flash secure does not support flash secure." What it means? How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks for your help!

    The latest version of BIOS is 5.20. You can get it on the Toshiba site:

    I'm not here on this particular error, just try to install the latest version of the BIOS and make sure you select the correct phone model when downloading (I made this mistake before!).

  • Satellite Pro A210 HDD, Windows Vista & BIOS problem

    Hello

    We have an A210-1 b 3 - PSAFHE-01500PEN - running Vista which has had a hard drive failure.
    We have replaced the old drive SATA (250 GB) with a 500 GB SATA drive and used the recovery disc to install Vista and specific software from Toshiba. We intend to restore our backup data that a Vista is installed.

    That is the problem. We have installed the new hard drive, ran the recovery and after restarting, we got a Windows could not sating error set up the hardware and then restarts. I suspect that the new drive is not recognized by Vista. I looked around and it was suggested to the SATA Compatible parameter value in the BIOS. However, the BIOS (V1.5) has no options for this.

    So, can anyone suggest anything please? Any ideas where I can get the latest update of BIOS (pref one that allows me to create a boot disk and update BACK)? Any help appreciated because she has completely baffled me.

    Thank you in advance,

    Jamie

    Hello

    Seems that A210 BIOS does not support the SATA option, that would help you to switch the AHCI compatible mode. That is why the SATA drivers must be included in the configuration of OS install.

    But if you use the Toshiba drive recover then you n t need to install the SATA drivers from the Toshiba drive recover contains the image where the SATA drivers are already included.

    Now the question is why the Vista Setup program cannot complete.
    Have you used the good drive recovery for the right portable model.
    I read in a number of threads that people used bad disc

    Well, it would be interesting to know if you can install the Windows operating system using the disk from Microsoft. On the other hand, you can try to format the HARD drive before launching the recovery disk

    Honestly, I ' am afraid of what he will do to my computer...

    Question:
    What is the cause of the problem and how do I fixed this?

    Before I encounter this error message, but after I opened my laptop that has been started.

    Why I opened my laptop?

    I have here some information that might help trace when this problem started...
    before there is no password set in my security settings on the bios, I put the password in it. My mother borrowed my laptop so I decided to remove all the passwords that I put to him.

    In my bios security settings
    In the old password, I put my password then I leave empty the new password and retype the new password then I save and exit...

    After that I can't go to my bios it still asks to put a password but I wonder because I already deleted it, I tried to put the password that I used before but I does not work...

    I searched the internet on how to recover a bios password and I tried some of these suggestions
    I am using Toshiba Satellite A350D - 20 K I've upgraded to windows 7 64 bit, I believe that there is no utility driver for my OS password so I can not use utility password, based on a suggestion that I read

    I can reset my bios by removing the cmos / battery from inside my computer bios laptop so I decided to open my laptop but suddenly I have not found all the batteries inside...
    After I opened my laptop, that was the time I started to encounter the error message...

    Dear friend

    Now the situation is more complicated. To be honest, that certain parts of your reports are not logical for me to be discussing this.

    As you know in the BIOS boot options where you can set the boot sequence there. With other words, you can define which device should be the first, second and so on. To start notebook BIOS check this defined order and try to start the operating system. If the first boot device is not found for some second reason for notebook control device. If there is no portable bootable option check the following.

    This message PXE occurs when the laptop cannot find the boot device and try to start the LAN (network card) device. Why does this happen? I put t know what the problem is here.
    At this point, I have to say that I m really confused when you say that you can continue to windows after this message appears on the screen. How do you do that? Can you start preinstalled OS now or not?

    BIOS password
    This method with the removal of battery can run on desktop computers, but with laptops is the history a little bit different. If you are not able to remove or change the password of the BIOS, then you have a big problem. Now this can be done by only authorized service.

  • Satellite C660 - wave fan constantly BIOS problem

    I have a Satellite C660, PSC0LE submodel.

    The fan (CPU) is constantly growing and turn off every minute or so. He is strong and extremely intrusive / boring. It is occurs regardless of the load / CPU temperature. I have seen references to this topic, and some people have suggested that a BIOS update to fix it.

    I updated my machine to the latest version available (1.40), but it is not fixed.

    I see that this (PSC0LE) submodel has not later than some of the other variants (there is a version 1.8 for some other submodels C660) an update of the BIOS and I think the fan problem is solved in that.

    Toshiba intends to solve this problem on the PSC0LE via a new BIOS, or y at - it another way to stop what is really distracting.

    TIA,
    Dan

    Please try to reduce the speed of the cooling fan change advanced power options > Toshiba power Saver saver > cooling method.

    For normal use I recommend to use the balanced feeding and management game, cooling method to lower the level. It should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

  • HP p6-2003w: looking to put a graphics card in my pc but I learned most of the newer cards will have bios problems

If anyone can recommend or list of compatible with this pc graphics cards, please let me know. I have a new cx600 power supply, so it won't be a problem.

    Gigabyte radeon r7 370

    I was told that these cards will be not compatible because of the UEFI BIOS. I looked, and unless I'm missing something I legacy bios.

    While the 2011-12 cards might work? If all of the recent cards require UEFI why would call tech support change or are there exceptions?

    Here I had known about it in time, I would have gotten something better. Thank you for responding.

    Yes, there may be exceptions depending on the manufacturer.  Some of them may have updates VBIOS that will allow their cards in order to work with a Legacy BIOS.  I know that EVGA has a few updates for their cards.

  • 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 ;)

  • Tecra M4 - 150 3.50 BIOS problem with USB

    Hello

    I've updated my Tecra M4 with the latest version of the BIOS and I have the following problems so far:
    1. controls on the Logitech V20 speakers don't work anymore (they work with other computers is not hardware failure).
    2 setpoint application takes about a minute to start, it takes approximately 1 minute for menu appear when right-click on it in the status bar.

    Both devices operate normally when it is connected to other computers at home (on XP and Vista).

    These USB failures appeared immediately after upgrading the BIOS to version 3.40 to 3.50.

    Is it possible to get the old BIOS back - 3.40? Where can I download old BIOS?

    My Tecra M4 runs on Vista Home Premium.

    Hi mate,

    sounds are really weird. Unfortunately, there is no chance to recover the old BIOS. Your only options are:

    1. the google search or find another user who performs a backup of your BIOS
    2. try to update your chipset drivers, etc, which might help your USB issues
    3. contact authorized service partner that should help you with the BIOS.

  • Failed to install Ubuntu on L650D - 10 H - ACPI / Bios problem

    Hello

    It is not possible to install Ubuntu newer than 9.10 to Toshiba laptop, L650D - 10H.

    This is where the Live CD stuck (you get not even the menu)

    http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=100809073739544531.jpg

    I made ist with the spare DVD menu, disabled ACPI by pressing F6, but then, if you choose to install the Black Guard screen.

    Summary:

    9.04 64 bit without any problem to install, but wireless lan doesn't work, but you can fix it.
    Dist upgrade to 9.10 no problem
    installation of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit does not work, even with 10.10

    ACPI or disable is not serious.

    I read in several forum that it is a problem of ACPI. For most notebook, toshiba has provided an update of the BIOS, then there was no problem.

    Unfortunately there is no update of the BIOS so far for the L650D - 10H.

    Any other idea?

    Thank you in advance.
