Sucks TC 120 - information BIOS

Hello, everyone!

I currently BIOS version P11 - A2 installed in my desktop sucks TC - 120, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting the bootable disk to work in my PC. I tried

  • Darik Boot and Nuke
  • Memtest86 +.
  • 15.2 Hiren BootCD

and also a few Linux "Live" DVD. All seem to be ignored and the computer will only Windows 8.1.

I used the discs above in an old desktop HP Pavilion of eleven year and they all work perfectly.

I turned off "Secure Boot" and define the order of start 1: CD/DVD, 2nd: removable, 3rd device: Windows operating system, but it makes no difference. I also tried a Linux OS that I put on a USB stick using UNetbootin, but it is also ignored by the system.

There are two updates available for my PC BIOS

Can one of your Tech' team tell me if BIOS P11. A2L is likely to solve the problem I'm having? It doesn't seem to be release notes that tell me what problems A2L bugs.

Thank you for your help.

L BIOS are for only (without OS or with factory Linux) linux systems, so that you cannot use to Flash a BIOS not in L.

You must upgrade to 11.A3 to be sure.

Since you mentioned the secure startup, your BIOS has UEFI parameter and you need a compatible bootable EFI media to be able to start.

  • Darik Boot and Nuke
  • Memtest86 +.
  • 15.2 Hiren BootCD

These aren't compatible EFI and you must set your BIOS to launch MSC or legacy, if these options are available.

Take a look if XC-603 parameters can be run on your system too:

On Linux, most distro are compatible EFI but you need to burn the iso of the correct way files, try Rufus allows you to create a bootable EFI USB flash drive:

SET options as on the home screen.

  • HP 250 g4: should I upgrade the BIOS?

    HP support assistant informs: BIOS should be upgraded, but nothing has been done during the night.

    I tried to update manually, but in vain.

    Can I still update or whatever? )

    If Yes, give me ftp link, pls.

    PS. HP support assistant does not recognize Bluetooth and Intel MEI: I had to manually install.

    You must install an update to the BIOS if it provides a fix for a specific problem, you may have or if it adds a feature that you need. None of these cases, it is best not to install the update.

  • the processor upgrade

    Hi, I need help with a uprade, I bought a used laptop hp compaq 6510 b there the core 2 duo T7100 1800 mhz cpu and im would like to upgrade to a better done cpu does not matter if this is possible, and what are my options? Thanks for your help,

    You are the very welcome.

    Yes, it's probably a difference in screen size.

    Yours has a 14.1 "screen and the 6710 b has a 15.4" display, but have the same courage.

    If you click on the link to revision of the bios I posted and then on the left side of the page, click Download drivers and software, you will see that you are on the 6510 b support page.

    Certainly not a stupid question.

    I could make a mistake, and that would not have been good to send you to the wrong page about information BIOS!

    If for some reason you need to update the bios, you must do this on XP or Vista. Those are that the only operating systems supported for flashing the BIOS.

    If you were to Flash the BIOS when running windows 7, there is a very good chance that you will kill the PC for good.

  • Minitour dc5100 - installation nvidia geforce 6200 PCI - problem

    Hello

    I have an old HP Compaq DC5100 minitour, and I wanted to put in a graphics card instead of using the onboard gfx

    as windows kept alert me that I was running on system resources, and video memory.

    So after hunting around the net for a PCI card (PCI-e not that I do not have a slot on the motherboard for it)

    which are very few and far between, but I managed to find a Nvidia Geforce 6200 256 MB PCI card: Nvidia Geforce 6200
    That I jumped into one of the PCI free slots on the motherboard and has pulled up the PC... after a second fans
    closed and the PC started her off 4 short beeps (with a red light flashing in time with the beeps located under)

    the power button on the front of the pc), then stopped for a few seconds and then repeat the 4 short beeps.
    and then continued to do this until I turned off the machine.

    So I took then the video card back and put it in the second PCI slot, but the same thing happens again.

    Now, I had to take the graphics card and just plugged my monitor on the port of gfx on board.

    Does anyone know why this graphics card stop the pc to start?

    Or is there something I need to do to get it working?

    FOR INFO. I can't even get into the BIOS, so impossible to verify anything in there.

    Also, here is a picture of my motherboard and the two PCI ports:

    I had a quick glance for the beep codes but cannot determine what BIOS mine is in the list here:
    Beep codes HP

    The only information I could get from my pc has been;

    [Information BIOS]
    Provider string: Hewlett-Packard
    Version string: 786 2 v01.07
    Release date: 25/08/2005
    Size of the ROM: 512 KB

    [Information on motherboard]
    Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
    Product range: 09E0h
    Version string:
    Serial number: CZC6071MT0

    Good news!

    After taking all the USB devices on my machine and try again once I had no joy as it is the same with the 4 beeps and the PC shut down.

    So I headed upwards in my attic and after opening 3 old PC I got lucky and found an another PSU ATX which had the same dimensions and was a high-end with maximum capacity of 640 watts, so I it inverted and put the graphics card back in and connected USB devices , and then press the power button...... ..  .  This time there was no beep and the computer =)

    This is certainly the graphics card needed more energy than the 300 Watt who was originally in the machine.

    Thanks again for your help to solve this problem.

    Kind regards

    The interesting thing is if I let the computer sit there long enough, say maybe an hour. It brightens suddenly.

    Also nice that I can get the Task Manager and right-click to place file open on something else, and then I can browse the WIndows update and other elements of the plusent even control panel find things on google chrome.

    But that didn't helped me to solve this problem.

    I tried to delete the fntcache.dat file in windows/system32

    I tried to uninstall from the list of bad updates that they think that the cause.

    When I got it I did a refresh of the system and he went.

    But now I "ve been using it a bit." I WON'T do it again. I won't be forced to reinstall ALL my software every time I start my computer.

    Please help to get rid of it, it is so boring.

    Here is the official ACER drivers, but if your Radeon is an add-on, the best place is the site of AMD.

    There is no special measures that:

    1) check on programs and features if your display drivers are listed and uninstall

    (2) go to the Device Manager, click view the adatpers, right-click on your Radeon and select Uninstall

    Then reboot and see if the black screen issue is resolved, then reinstall the AMD VGA drivers.

  • Event 37, core - for 8-processor CPU power

    Hello!

    Thanks for reading!

    First of all, I should mention that my computer works well. However, in the Event Viewer I see several warnings for:

    Event 37, kernel-processor-Power

    The messages that I receive is:

    The speed of the processor (0-7) in group 0 is restricted by the system firmware. The processor has been in this state of reduced performance (usually 3-5) seconds since the last report.

    Whenever there are 8 of the same event, at the same time, one per processor.

    I was wondering what could be the cause. I think that this could happen while my pc is in standby mode when it is and I do not use it.

    Is it a "problem"? The temperature always seems to be cool. And flipping through the event log, I see that it happened almost since I bought the computer (nine).

    Alienware m14x.

    Windows 7 Home Premium

    Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU

    Installed RAM: 6 GB

    System type: 64-bit

    All THE drivers/bios updated.

    Yet once again, I see nothing wrong with how the PC behaves. But the warnings that I see in the event viewer are alarming.

    Is this common? This could be the cause?

    Thanks again for reading!

    Hello

    Method 1 : check that the power setting are set to the maximum, even when the battery is in use.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/power-management

    Method 2: check that the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) of the power settings are set maximally.

    Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Note:  You must contact the manufacturer of your computer, in order to update the BIOS power settings.

    The BIOS and disc label will report the full capacity of the drive. When formatted the Partition information, file allocation table and area labels all take part more of space.

    Windows then reports the storage space available remaining after formatting. My 240GB SSD a 223GB is actually the same reduction as yours.
