Satellite C870 - good version of the BIOS

I have a C870 Satellite (model number PSCBAE).

I am trying to determine if I need to update the BIOS (trying to solve a continuous blue screen of the cause of death).

My current BIOS version is 6.10 (24/09/2012). On the update of the driver page, I am told that a BIOS upgrade is available, with the upgrade to the classified version 1, 60 - WIN.

I downloaded and tried to install, but get the error message "this bios is not for your laptop...» ».

Anyone know what's the latest version of BIOS for this machine?

Thank you.

You're right about the version of the BIOS. Version 1.60 is the latest for your laptop model.
To be honest I have don t think BIOS update will be the solution to your problem.
If does not back up all your data and reinstall the OS using HARD drive recovery facility.

Using original pre-installed BONES that you got with your laptop or perhaps own version?

  • Satellite U840W-10J - noisy fan and the version of the bios

    Hello

    more top of the machine when you run tempro said new version of bios is available, the link to it is [Satellite U840W BIOS 6, 40 - WIN | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 198 & selProduct = 7570 & selSh ortMod = null & language = 13 & selOS = 40 & selType = 4 & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 84640 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

    But when I go to the bios, it says the version of bios is already 6.4 - which is strange since the release of this version of the bios date is 10/07/13. And I don't know that I don't have day of the bios for this version this month :)

    Why does say new version is available?
    Would be - that there's a newer version available, that only that it binds to an evil?
    Even if I download and try to install it, it says that this version of the rom is the same.

    Second question is noisy fan, most of the time is at very high speed (and because of the odd design, when the laptop is open, screen - which becomes really hot fan).
    Since no other laptop I used make these noises, if I really need to update for the bios? But which version?

    Health Monitor shows the 77% fan speed - and I'm not playing games or whatever it is, cpu is always below 10%, I m doing nothing, just a light browsing can turn up to such percentage. What I've noticed, is that it becomes this top still when HARD drive this is - like application installation, download updates, etc... I have download the latest drivers intel to drive HARD, all drivers are more recent. Or is it only noisy due to bad design (fan blowing on screen), and I can use it for heavy work and just have to ignore the noise of the fan?

    Last updated driver to trackpad kills finger double scroll btw, so, maybe you guys could solve the problem too? Since I had to go back to the old version.

    BTW, the machine is only two days old

    I think that you should not be confused on BIOS. Maybe there is a problem with Tempro. This process runs automatically and it is possible that there is a technical problem. If you have latest BIOS is OK so Don t you worry about this. Just continue to use your laptop and don t change anything.

    What about cooling fan? Cooling fan is controlled automatically and according to the temperature CPU cooling fan works more rapid or slower. When you play the games you need more performance, so use leverage plan high performance. For each day of activities, use the balanced power plan. It will reduce the CPU usage, but it will be good enough for low level activities. What you can try is to change the options for the method of cooling. You can find it in the advanced power options. It should reduce fan cooling and portable activity should run quietly.

    Play around with these options.

  • It is impossible to update the latest version of the BIOS for Satellite L40-17s

    First of all, why is there so many BIOS updates in short time? I get my new brand L40-17 s (05/20/08) with the 1.70 BIOS, the software Toshiba Tempro give me the warning to update it to 1.80 which works very well, after a few days a new warning from the update 1.90 and now 2.00 in June! The problem is that I can't update more above 1.80, when I click on the winflash.exe only a short screen and then nothing.

    32 Windows Vista without SP1 operating system

    I really want to have the latest version of the BIOS before installing SP1.

    > Firstly, why are there so many BIOS update in short time?
    Who knows seems Toshiba releases the drivers and BIOS as own Microsoft Windows patches have you known a Microsoft patch day? ;)
    I think that it s something similar

    Another question;
    Is there something wrong with your laptop?
    If not, then why a BIOS update?

    I have a laptop that is about 3 years old and there are updates latest BIOS for my laptop, but I've never done an BIOS update.

  • Satellite A200 (PSAE0C-AH308C) - after the BIOS black screen update

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite (model No. A200; Part No. PSAE0C - AH308C) and to install Windows XP on a version already corrupted Vista (which had 4 partitions, that have been corrected, erased, then reformatted in a solid block). Now, I have installed all the appropriate drivers off Toshiba Canada support site...

    Everything worked, but I wanted to see in Windows (since I just got this computer) if everything was in place and working normally until I installed Ubuntu... Then I did the update to the BIOS flash. The program is supported in two formats, one for Vista and one for XP... for XP has a more high at 5.20 and Vista BIOS version the 1.80 revision of BIOS... that are marked as being updated by the Toshiba site. I opted to download the latest version of the BIOS.

    Things got ugly as soon as I unzipped the self-extracting program. First of all he said he could not find a .dll file (even if it is clear from there), so that seemed as if it started to Flash the BIOS but has not finished (it was just what happened when I opened the program)... I think he got to the ROM of compensation but did not have any code in there... Windows attempted to close the program because he did not respond, and I tried to take the program... had the same .dll error, but this time, the screen of the program was just gray...

    Given that this program is not Flash the BIOS unless the user selects the button "Flash BIOS", I have reason to believe that it was a bug in the program, or a combination of it and Windows comes to interfere (no program were running at the time, while he was supposed to be a dedicated flash). I can only flash in the Win.

    Now, I rebooted the computer, twice... the screen turns black, the HARD disc spins, the DVD drive has done his usual clicking sound when the computer starts, but it seems to stop as there is no BIOS entact.

    Can I replace the BIOS chip? There is no way for me to access the BIOS at all.

    Thanks for any help on this

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the BIOS update has failed and now BIOS is damaged. For this reason, you cannot start and use your laptop. I agree with Luke. Please contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. Talk with them and I am sure that you will find the best solution to this problem.

    Satellite A200 is quite long on the market and it is hard to believe that updating the BIOS on the Canadian page may have a bug. All updates are tested and used by millions of users and service providers. If there is something wrong, I do not believe that this update will be available on the page of public support.

    In any case, contact the nearest service provider and explain the situation. Believe me this is the best thing you can do now.

    Good luck!

    To be honest, you can be happy that your laptop works because many people have had bad luck after the BIOS update fail.

    In my opinion, you shouldn't be playing with BIOS updates. At the end you may damage the BIOS update and your laptop won't boot at all. Maybe you should contact Toshiba service provider and clarify this point. Ask for help. They should do it for you. If something goes wrong, it is not your fault.

    Be careful with this. This is just my opinion and advice for you. Don t change well running system.

  • Satellite P100: Where to find the BIOS 2.4 to get rid of overheating

    Hi all

    Well well, it is for anyone who has had problems of overheating on the p100 or other such fan disturbances in vista or xp.

    Here is my story:
    I bought a new p100 on seven 6th with Vista preinstalled and I found that I couldn't play because A) there was the problem of "stutter" B) my system overheats protection to stop the automatic to do.

    So I spent a week of research forums and the bowls of the internet trying to find solutions for that.
    The first most liley solution I found was to downgrade to XP, so I did... and that fixed the problems of stuttering during playback of dvd and while palying games!

    However I have had overheating issues (I could only play games like oblivion for 10 minutes then boom).
    The temperature of my system has been peeking at as 75 to 85 degrees, obviously this is not good. So I phoned a support technique toshiba and they told me to take it in an ASP and the look.

    Well, it's a problem for me, because the nearest EPA is 4 hours away by rocket lol jk but it is plan Z.
    So I looked more deeply into the darkest recesses of internet forums...

    AND I THINK I FOUND THE ANSWER!

    However, this requires downgradeing to the BIOS version2.40 who, after a week of research, I have been unable to find! :(

    So my question... my please. Can someone tell me where I can find this particular version of the Bios?

    If you have had similar problems, like that I can post a link to the forum (I've not worn to hand at the moment but I can get it if anyone wants) which I think has the answers but you should have a pretty good understanding of computer systems to try these fixes. I weeded ut who changes the ACPI settings does not work (for my system anyway)

    Any help in locating BIOS v2.4 will be greatly appreciated

    I wish you much luck, but I'm a little pessimistic about finding the old version of the BIOS. Please check this forum a bit better by using the advanced search option. I'm not 100% sure but I think I read the similar topic some time ago. Maybe you can find the user who wrote this version of BIOS. Check her profile here and write on his e-mail address, if any.

    Hello

    It looks like that the BIOS update has no...

    What can you do now?

  • Satellite L20-120 (PSL20E) updated the Bios traditional v1.70

    Hello!

    Recently, I tried to upgrade the BIOS more recent but the WINPLASH still crashes and I don't know why.
    Therefore a traditional BIOS update procedure that requires to create a diskette of starting BACK. So good - so far, but the BIOS on Toshiba download section contains the Phoenix win BIOS and no subdir as some other users said.

    So where can I get the tool create disk or there at - it another way via USB stick?

    The traditional BIOS update is not available for your laptop model.
    For a long time, Toshiba stopped to offer traditional versions of the BIOS update.
    On the Toshiba support page, you will not be able to find the traditional version.

    What you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service allowed in your country and ask for help. Maybe they have TRAD version and can send it to you.
