  Hello

  Where is the option AHCI in the BIOS L350D?

  BIOS version is 1.70

  grobi Oxford

  Hello

  Usually in the BIOS, there is an option called SATA controller mode. You can choose between AHCI and Compatible mode.

  But I believe that not all motherboards and BIOS version contain such an option, so probably your computer doesn t offer such an option.

• ThinkPad T450 - Hotkey features integration stops working after the screen lock

  My OSD volume and brightness no longer works after that screen is locked using a timeout or Win + L. All other information like the caps lock or disbale microfone OSD are still working, but brightness and volume bars are gone.

  I have the following configuration:

  Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  BIOS 1.21 (taken from the site of Lenovo)

  8.80.05 (from Lenovo system update) keyboard shortcut function integration

  1.67.12.07 (from Windows Update) power management driver

  Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4285 (from Windows Update)

  I tried already to older versions of integration function Hotkey and power management driver, but this does not solve the problem.

  When I unlock my T450 all services (On Screen Display, PM Service and Hotkey customer charger) are still ongoing, but I can get the OSD back by restarting the service of customer magazine (until the next Win + L) keyboard shortcut.

  Is this a common problem or is it just me? Any suggestions?

  Best regards

  Bernd

  Lenovo has released a new version of the Hotkey features integration on 15 April, version 8.80.10, which includes support for ThinkPad T450.

  It can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t45...

• Equium L20-264: can I unlock the options in the Bios to change the speed of the CPU & FSB

  Hello

  I have a toshiba equium l20-264 today and I was wondering if I can open it the options in the bios to change the cpu speed and the speed of the fsb.

  But if you don't don't do this, I already have a Dell Xps laptop Overclcoked to 4.5 ghz (twisted majorly) and I installed today a very powerful cooler and heatsink of heat inside my laptop, I'm ready to overclock bu ti do not know if I can via bios but if so could you point me to guides for a code name overclocking intel celeron m 360 : DOTHAN

  Help, please

  regards James...

  Hello

  Unfortunately, this is not possible on the laptop.

  I o year owner of 3 different computers; two laptops and a desktop PC. The BIOS on the desktop is different and allows to change and increase the CPU. But the laptops BIOS does not allow to do something similar.

  Why? Because the CPU overclocking would increase the internal temperature and make portable is not stable and perhaps that it would infringe the motherboards and CPU!
  The notebooks run with maximum efficiency. If you compare the notebooks modules with cooling Office cooling modules you will see the difference!

  Please don t waste your time and don t find any possibility to overclock the CPU and the FSB

  Dear useful people,

  I want to update the BIOS on freshly bought G1 350 HP notebook from F.11 to F.12 - who has not only installed FeeDOS.

  The error you mentioned does not match the description of the usual Windows blue screen errors. When I put this error for a web-search, it has proved to be a common problem with some HP computers. I was able to get my hands on the following link for a thread in HP communities that contains information about this error. Have a read of the content in this link and see if this applies to your situation:

• ThinkPad T450s Review

  Introduction
  

  The ThinkPad T450s is one of the best new ultrabooks. If it is not as slim as some, it is still quite compact and easier to service than the thinner machines and screen Full HD IPS is a standout feature.

  This review is based on a ThinkPad T450s, 20BX Type of Machine production, product ID 20BXCTO1WW.

  • Intel Core i7-5600U processor
  • 8.1 Windows Pro 64
  • 14.0 "FHD (1920 x 1080)
  • Camera HD 720 p
  • Intel HD 5500 graphics card
  • 4 GB DDR3L - Base of 1600 MHz SDRAM
  • Fingerprint reader
  • Hard drive 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 2.5 "
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) before
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) rear
  • Country Pack 45W in the United States (2-pin) adapter
  • Intel 7265 AC/B/G/N Dual Band Wireless + Bluetooth Version 4.0

  From the receipt:

  • 4 GB Samsung SO - DIMM has been installed
  • Hard drive has been replaced with 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

  Construction
  
  T450s build quality isn't old ThinkPad level, with a clear devaluation, but is still very good. Problems include the difficulty of dislodging the lower lid (after removing the 8 screws) for joining plastic textured inside and fingerprinting, revealing instead of the old finish rubber. But it is quite solid, no bending and quite compact.

  Connectivity
  
  Port is good enough on both sides with nothing on the back. All USB ports are 3.0 with excellent performance. But Mini DisplayPort means you need to maybe buy and carry a dongle of easy-to-lose. Performance of the Wi - Fi connection (802.11ac Intel 2 x 2) seems better than previous cards Intel generation 802.11n, even those with 3 x 3. Bluetooth connections are fast. The speakers are decent, but nothing to write home about. Quality of the webcam is improved over previous generations, but still struggles in low light. Fingerprint reader is a great improvement. (Thanks, Apple.)

  Performance
  
  The good news is that the i7 T450s finally turns out to be a bit faster than the i7 Sandy Bridge (T420s) on the tasks of processor such as video encoding, despite a processor intensive ultra low voltage a bit more slowly. The machine is cold and silent most of the time, with only a gentle breath of air under high load.

  Memory

  4 GB of memory is soldered to the main Board and there is only a single SO-DIMM location. While you can add a 8 GB SO - DIMM for 12 GB total, that would mean that half of the memory could run in single channel mode, which can have a very important impact on the performance (as much as 20-30%), especially since the graphics adapter integrated uses part of the main memory (memory available). So if you care about performance, you need to stick with 8 GB, which can be marginal for things like video editing HD Ultra. (The impact on the performance, of course, also applies to machines with only the Basic 4 GB of memory. The promised NVIDIA 940 M graphics option is not yet available.)

  Screen
  
  The IPS 1920 x 1080 screen can take some getting used to, but is really much better than TN screens and is close enough to a calibration right out of the box. (Remember to burn on the screen for at least 24 hours before making any justice.)

  Keyboard
  
  The keyboard of the island is pretty good for what it is, but the provision still suffers compared to the classic ThinkPad keyboard. Homepage layout end delete and PrtSc are poor and other keys like Pause/break are missing entirely, now only available as Fn combinations (such as Fn + B for Break) that are not marked on the keys. Also annoying is the lack of status lights of the hardware (your hard drive, Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, load connection). You can count on the Windows taskbar for wireless and in charge, but you will need to install something like DiskLED (which works well) to the disk activity. Keyboard backlight is usable (despite some annoying light crosstalk between the top row), but not as good as the classic ThinkLight.

  Power

  With just the standard 2nd battery, not long battery life with big bulge on the bottom, the T450s still usable on and off by a day without running out of battery power. The power adapter provided is quite small, but only 45W, cannot quickly fresh when the system is under load. If you care about fast charging, you should get the Slim 65W adapter.

  Summary

  A return for most welcome to your ThinkPad, with a very good IPS screen and finally enough power processor ultra low voltage measure to the Sandy Bridge.

  Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is available at low cost from B & H.

  

• Satellite A300 and Windows 7, missing the option 'create disc '.

  Hello.

  I installed windows 7 Professional in my laptop A300 - 15 c (PSAJ4E) two weeks ago and I have a problem.
  I installed all the drivers for win 7 on the official website of toshiba and I do not see the option 'Create disc' where I can install the firmware update.

  So, my laptop did not install the updates of the firmware, and it is very slow at startup.
  Any idea about this problem?

  I can see your ad is mix of three different but described issues in two sentences.
  Can we please discuss each issue separately?

  At first, I have to say that I installed Win7 on my Satellite A300-1LI successfully and I am satisfied with the performance and I have to say that all hardware components will run perfectly.
  So, back to your laptop:

  # What do you mean with the option 'create disc '? You may think that on some Toshiba tools pre-installed, I don't know exactly. The fact is that Toshiba offers many useful and utility tools to only factory settings and these tools cannot be downloaded and installed as well.
  # Update? Must you really it? I don't think so. Have you noticed a few problems with the optical disc drive?
  # Slow start? Have you installed the drivers all listed for Win7 especially chipser dtiver and storage manager? Please note that the SATA in the BIOS settings must be defined in AHCI mode.

• HP Elite Book 840 g1: change the RAID on AHCI on Elitebook 840 g 1

  I have an Elite book 840 g1. I'm changing to AHCI RAID and cannot get it done. I tried everything on the web regarding the registry settings and changes to the bios. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

  Solution to change RAID AHCI on an HP EliteBook 840g 1

  My EliteBook 840 g 1 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I put my software available on a USB stick and this worked great.

  1. back up your PC or important documents.

  2 put the software available on CD/DVD or USB depending on one you plan to use.

  3. close all programs and restart your PC.

  -C' is where it gets difficult.

  4. enter in the Bios by pressing the ESC key

  5. make sure you change your boot order / put USB or CD/DVD first in order - depending on what you are going to use

  6. once in the BIOS go to the 'Advanced tab' and then 'Device Configurations '.

  7. go to RAID/AHCI and switch to AHCI

  8 save the settings and exit.

  -C' is where it gets trickier.

  9. THIS CRITICISM IS - after save and exit the BIOS of the PC will start start - don't let it throw - back in the BIOS before it starts

  10. once in the BIOS, go to the boot options and select the option that you put your software available.

  11. now booting from USB or CD/DVD, you have your software available on

  12. your PC will now go through the re-imaging process and when it's done, you'll be in AHCI.

  13. you can check by going to "Device Manager" > double-click on ' controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI "and below you see"Intel 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller '.

  14. He verifies that you are in AHCI

  15 take advantage of the improved performance

  The extent of the change RAID on AHCI by using registry settings I couldn't get it work. I changed the starting value of several channels (msahci, istorA, istorV, etc.) and couldn't make the change happen. From my experience, I had to reimage my PC for that change to AHCI RAID. If someone has a proven solution, changing to AHCI RAID in registry settings without having to do a reimage would be what they please report them.  Thank you and I hope that all this information is useful.

• Evolution of the IDE to AHCI in Studio XPS 1640

  Hello world

  I'm about to clean install Windows 10 on a new SSD.

  How to you switch from IDE to AHCI mode prior to installation on the Studio XPS 1640?

  How to activate the mode of compensation?

  Thank you.

  Hi Stock4j,

  I guess that you have a complete backup of your system drive and files before installing the new drive and the OS.

  To change the mode of the controller SATA, boot in the BIOS (F2). There will be two or three options, ATA, RAID and AHCI. If AHCI is not available, choose the RAID or AHCI.

  You have no need to activate the TRIM. With a clean installation, TRIM should be enabled automatically earn 10.

• MENU BAR IS ALL BLACK AND CAN NOT READ THE OPTIONS?

  I loaded a new mozilla firefox after problems with the old, after that I loaded a new menu bar is all black and none of my old favourites are there? It of like the bottom of the screen is black and the options (file editing history bookmarks tools and support) are also black.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply, Yes when I disable hardware acceleration, the problem goes away.

  If I think that I put the finger on the problem of new video drivers, probably the intel hd 3000 or ATI's new drivers.

  There is this problem when I have the BIOS for the graphics card the 'dynamic' value, same problem with the latest Kazaa Codecs Pack. with this on the dynamics, there is a strange green frame at the beginning of the .mkv (DXVA) movies, if I have the value fixed, it seems normal.

  and what about the FF issue, IE9 is also same behavior with black, in this case, black menus on the home page of search engines...

  Thanks anyway

• How to use the utility to update (uefi) BIOS HP

  Notebook: G62 a10em

  I downloaded the BIOS update tool from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063 & lc = on & cc = us & dlc = in & sw_lang = & product = 4226...

  and it is installed on my USB key.

  Now, how can I update my bios?

  The USB key contains now:

  BIOS

  | - Current (empty folder)

  | - New (empty folder)

  | - Previous (empty folder)

  BIOSUpdate

  -CryptRSA.efi

  -CryptRSA32.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate.s09

  -HpBiosUpdate.sig

  -HpBiosUpdate32.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate32.s09

  -HpBiosUpdate32.sig

  my current version of bios is f. 08

  I did a cut above.

  After looking at the appropriate file you downloaded, it says this:

  "Prerequisites .
  -Microsoft .NET 2.0 is required. UEFI and Custom Imaging - the HP BIOS update must be run from a FAT or FAT32, partition with a volume of the "HP_TOOLS" name This Installer gives you the option to install on the hard disk (HDD) or USB. If you install on the HARD disk and the HP_TOOLS partition is not present, Setup prompts to create the HP_TOOLS partition. If you install on a USB key, Setup renames the partition on the USB in HP_TOOLS. If you use a custom image, you can create the HP_TOOLS partition manually with the type FAT32 and that the volume HP_TOOLS name. ATTENTION:-the UEFI system partition is not protected and can be removed. -Backup of the computer by using the complete PC Backup feature of Microsoft Windows Vista does not save the UEFI system partition. For these reasons, HP recommends that you place no additional data on the UEFI system partition. Because the partition is not backed up, corruption or failure of the partition will result in the loss of all data on the partition, as well as the loss of UEFI functionality. "For more information, visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"

  There is little documentation on how to use it, but a Member here figured it out.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/operating-systems-and-software/envy-14-system-recovery-doesn-t-work-with-latest-BIOS/m-p/328684/highlight/false#M45165

  using Windows 7:

  Just plug in the USB key and then run the SPnnnnn.exe BIOS file downloaded from the Web site drivers HP.

  Assuming that the USB is configured correctly (see below), Setup the BIOS sees the HP_TOOLS partition on the USB, copy of the BIOS and its file signature on the USB key, then run Setup winflash. The system BIOS detects the USB and the partition HP_TOOLS and the BIOS is magically updated.

  I put in place a new USB key as follows:

  1 rename the partition HP_TOOLS from the hard drive to something different like HP_TOOLSbak

  2. Plug the USB

  3. Download and run the utility to update the BIOS (not the BIOS, still) drivers HP support page.

  4. Select the option to install to a USB

  5. Select the option to create the partition HP_TOOLS

  6. The reader should now be formatted as HP_TOOLS with a record of Hewlett-Packard containing BIOS and BIOSUpdate records. The BIOS folder contains empty current, news and previous records.

  7 download and run the HP System Diagnostics (UEFI) MS drivers HP support page

  8. Select the option to install on a USB key. This will create a SystemDiags folder under the Hewlett-Packard folder

  9. Download and run the HP Notebook System BIOS update for the HP support page drivers, given that the USB is correctly tagged it will install the update of the bios on the USB drive

  10, we have to end up with a HP_TOOLS partition on the USB drive identical to the one that you removed from the hard drive.

  Once you have configured the USB drive, you can upgrade to other versions of BIOS (most recent or oldest) using this drive, as I mentioned above: just plug in the USB and then download and run the BIOS Setup program.

  Having said that I'm not sure of what you do, once you boot the USB drive.
