• I have a gateway desktoop which shows the bios setup utility. What am I suppose to do now?

  I have a gateway with windows xp home edition.  After you install the updates, I had to reboot my computer.  When he started this window UTILITY of CONFIGURATION BIOS jumped on and I'm lost.  What am I, I guess what to do?  Should I change something here?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

  I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing. However, you must first check with the manufacturer of the computer or the user manual to get out of the manual in the BIOS. The key is usually ESC, but it varies depending on the manufacturer. When you are prompted to save the settings, do not save the.

  Consult the help of the manufacturer section , learn more about BIOS.

  Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

• ProDesk 600 G1 BIOS configuration of the TPM secure through the BIOS Configuration utility

  We have a range of devices, computers HP desktop and laptops in our environment.  Devices are all running Windows 7 64 bit and should have Bitlocker enabled, but we found that some were not encrypted.  So I am trying to set up a remote BIOS and Bitlocker config activate software that we can get out via SCCM and then embed in a task sequence image for new machines.

  I use the Bios HP Configuration utility to check a BIOS password is set and then activate the TPM chip.  I took a BIOS config output of each of our models and created a settings file that has all of the TPM associated parameters of all models.

  At the moment I run Setup BIOS utility manually for testing.  On all models I tried that works very well, except for the 600 ProDesk G1 SFF.

  When I run the utility on the ProDesk 600 G1 MFS, it says that I have managed to update the settings, and when I check the BIOS, the TPM secure has been unhidden and the TPM Management was given to the operating system (two settings I change), but the TPM itself remains hidden.

  It's the release of the BIOS configuration utility (it uses the 2.60.13.1 version, which uses plaintext passwords.  I also tried with the 3.0.13.1 later version that uses password files - same result)

  C:\ > BiosConfigUtility64.exe /cspwd: "password" set: "TPM_Config.REPSET"
  
  < BIOSCONFIG Version = "2.60.13.1" Computername = 'HP600G1' Date = "24/07/2014" Time = "13:01:37 ' UTC '1' = >"
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Embedded Security Device" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [hidden device]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [device]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Enable security on the next boot" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "The BONES of on-board safety management" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SUCCESS msg = "Successfully set BIOS config." / >
  
  < information msg = 'BCU return the value' real '0' = translated = '0' / >
  
  < / BIOSCONFIG >
  
  C:\ >

  And after a reboot (where it should activate the TPM), BIOS shows as disabled built-in safety device (see attachment for the image).

  I have tried everything I can think of to get this to activate, including:

  • Different versions of the BIOS configuration utility
  
  
  • Remove the password from the BIOS and the application in the same order as the parameters
  
  
  • Different passwords
  
  
  • Reboot and allowing the machine to start completely to Windows before checking if the setting took effect

  I also tried to add the utility and the commands for an SCCM package and it works directly and as part of a sequence of tasks to see if that makes a difference, but nothing I've done has activated the TPM module.

  I know that the TPM module works, as you can turn it on manually and then Bitlocker can be applied to the machine, but with thousands of devices in our environment, I need to get this job without the need for manual intervention.

  Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?  Or has someone at - he managed to activate the TPM on the SFF of 600 ProDesk G1 using the BIOS Setup utility?  Any ideas / suggestions would be very appreciated!

  P.S. This thread was moved from the company PC - Compaq, Elite, Pro for HP PC Client management. -Hp moderator of the Forum

  This problem has now been resolved by HP.
  
  They provided a replacement motherboard for the test machine I was using that solved this problem. I don't know what kind of motherboard failure could prevent the activation via the script TMP chip but not prevent activation through the BIOS menu, but as a replacement solved the problem, then it must be a hardware failure.

• WIN VISTA: After installing new drivers through the utility Dell to keep the PC to date, DVD not working anymore (and not located in the bios Setup)

  When starting, it not recognizing my DVD drive more.  I went into the bios setup and it does not appear in there.   I have to re - install the bios?  or ....???

  Hello

  If the drive does not appear in the BIOS, there is a hardware problem - either with the player, wiring,
  or the motherboard interface circuits.

  Check with a real computer store (the one that makes its own internal circuits and not of leeks and poster
  a Best Buy or other stores) or Support of Dell.

• Acer Aspire V3 - 772G - BIOS setup utility menus have disappeared

  Acer Aspire V3 - 772G - BIOS setup utility menus have disappeared

  I have install this laptop brand new, pre-installed with Windows 8.1 for my sister-in-law who bought it.  The installation went well BUT the 16 GB USB device I bought such as advised by the literature of Acer to store the recovery partition was not large enough, 14.4 GB physical capacity.  Acer the book says to use a 16 GB or more, so I did.  I naively thought that a USB key which has been marked 16 GB would be appropriate.  Not the case.  I had to buy a bigger but am still waiting for delivery.

  So I decided to any HARD drive to save the work I had done, but found only the Acronis Backup and Recovery DVD would not start the image.  I went into the utility configuration and adjusted the start parameters to inherited and modified device priority.  Acronis wouldn't so I did not continue.  I went back into the configuration utility, use F9 to restore the default value and to my astonishment that the DUAL boot option was now gone and Windows startup option was also gone.

  This means that £800 this laptop is now unusable.  The installer standalone reconfigured without warning.  Nowhere is there at - it advice or advice do not use the Setup utility when it erases the features that cannot be recovered by using F9 to restore the default configuration.  If this isn't a serious design flaw, I don't know what is.

  I am deeply worried because the idea of a BIOS setup utility behave in this way seems so unlikely that I wonder if anyone will believe me.  How are the Setup utility has been designed to self-harm like this?

  Your suggested action works!  Thank you very much.  You saved my life.

  clint341,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.  We cannot guide you more precisely by changing the BIOS settings that the BIOS settings are specific to your motherboard.  However, most (if not all) parameters of the BIOS have an option to restore the default BIOS (sometimes called "default opitimized").  It may be an option in the menu that you highlight, then press enter or it can be assigned to an F key and States at the bottom of the screen, press F? for the default settings.  I hope this helps.  If you are still not able to reset, check with the manufacturer of PC for more information about the BIOS.
