Update BIOS question - 5100 series

I have a satellite 5110 (Australian model)
What changes have been made with the latest bios flash Update v1.2?
What is the v1.5 "EC/KBC? What is doing?
I did both, but noticed no difference... maybe it was to recognize 1gig instead of 512 MB?

Thank you, andrew.

Hello

Unfortunately there are no official documents on changes in the BIOS.
As far as I know a few units need the EC/KBC (keyboard controller) day after the BIOS update. NOTE: In the case where the machine power trouble during the update motherboard will be a pity!
Moreover, I don t think that after updating the BIOS, the unit will be able to recognize a memory of 1 GB.

Good bye

    My computer is a year. It was quite well, until I noticed that he had ceased to charge the battery. After some googling I found that there could be an update of the BIOS, that I had missed. When you try to install the BIOS update, I get a message saying I need to plug in my computer first (which is always that the dough is not a charge).

    BIOS update program says he wants to be updated as follows:

    Hello

    Are you sure that you have downloaded and used the good version of the BIOS.
    I have read about similar error message and finally the used user isn't compatible BIOS.

  • Update BIOS question on Satellite A200-25 b

    * Hello! *

    I have a dual boot with windows xp/ubuntu. I want my my BIOS for more functions but can I replace the v1.7 for the v5.6? I read: «Ce Bios is only compatible for laptop computers equipped with Windows XP» -->

    5.6 BIOS and my computer

    I don't want to crash my computer.

    Sorry if my English is not perfect... I'm French.

    Hello

    I suggest that you follow the updates to the BIOS in Windows XP Home edition. The reason v5.x upgrades are available (and say that the BIOS is only compatible with laptop computers equipped with Windows XP) because they are updated BIOS to allow installation of Windows Vista.

    If you do not want to upgrade to Windows Vista, stay with the WXP BIOS in the range v1.x - v2.x (also check whether or not the BIOS is specifically for Windows XP).

    I hope this helps.

  • Update BIOS question on the Qosmio F50/F55 series

    I have advanced and updated the bios of the 1.30 the 2.20 and everything went well.
    I did not like the new bios for the portable was little more warm, so I went to downgrade to the 1.30.
    I have two toshiba Web site and has made the winphlash64.

    Thing is that it won't let you not downgrade, then I open the phlash.ini and changed the "UpdateMode = 3-UpdateMode = 0" and he replace the parameters to downgrade. He did the downgrade successfully as "starting from 1 to 35 block". When it restarted I get a black screen only dead pc, no MESSAGE. I did the recovery from the crisis and did not work on a USB "bios qosmio are greater than 2MB and can fit on a floppy."

    Maybe someone here knows perhaps changing the "UpdateMode = 3-UpdateMode = 0" I have to manually reset the cmos?
    I don't have a warranty, and I know that the laptop is fine, and the bios chip is soldered in 32 pins are difficult to desolder.

    Thank you very much!!

    As far as I know that you need a traditional version of the BIOS update in order to downgrade the BIOS

    However, the fact is that your laptop does not start, which means that the module ROM was not properly flashed and it needs to be flashed again with a disc of crisis.

  • Update BIOS on satellite series

    Hi all
    I just tried to update the BIOS on my laptop Equium, however, when I run the file (after you have retrieved it on my hard drive) all I get is a window Notepad with the script of the update in it. I am logged in as an administrator and "Process 2" is not valid because it did not create three subfolders. The clues, anyone?
    See you soon

    Hello

    could you please put what machine you have exactly since it is probably not a common error with the bios updates and then a specific machine error (I guess).
    Maybe that download is simply damaged and the file must be re-uploaded?

    The last step, you're trying to do is update the BIOS. To be honest you shouldn't do it especially if the laptop works fine and you didn t notice problems, especially if you use some external devices.

  • Question 1.9 updated Bios of M50 due to multiple issues on 1.7

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M50-196, I received a few weeks ago and I've known a lot of problems. The current version of the Bios on the laptop is 1.7 and the bios to M50 series page, I see that there is a version 1.9.

    I had to remove XP home and installed my copy of XP Pro with Service Pack 2. Everything went great. Everything works perfectly except a few questions. Here goes:

    -First wireless adapter has some kind of problem because when I connect to my home network from time to time I run repair the connection on windows because it is really slow. I have a connection of 4 MB cable at home and he usually runs to 400 k. ut has from time to time completely stops and starts again after a few seconds and a few other times gets as slow as 40 k. It is not a question of cable provider or a question wireless base station because I have a desktop computer that uses wireless also without any problems. This happens with the laptop connected to the power supply or running on batt. I have the latest drivers from Intel 2200BG wireless card.

    -The second problem is when I close the screen. The laptop should go on stand-by but rather never sleep light turns orange and the laptop is completely locked. The power button remains blue, light it even after that leaving the button for several seconds (15-20) or no laptop computer shutsdown. The only way to solve the problem is to remove the battery completely and fastener is again.

    -The third and last problem, so far, is with Virtual PC 2004 SP1. Virtual machines run very slowly, and the use of processos is most of the time at 99%. Time on a virtual PC is faster than normal, then it blocks completely and start again. For example 10 seconds will in 5 seconds then he crashes a few seconds. This behavior seems to occur with more people using computers laptops centrino with 915 chipset and some manufactors already corrected cela. A guy on another forum has reported that it has fixed a DELL laptop with a recent update of the bios.

    So because all these I'm considering upgrading to version 1.9 of the bios, but before I do, I would like to know if anyone had problems with this upgrade and would also like to know if its safe to run the bios from windows update. I know that its supposed to be sure, but I would like to know if anyone has ever reported problems with it and what precautions should I take... for instance... it is important to remove the bios and the hard drive passwords?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post :)

    Best regards

    Hello

    If you have some problems with the 2200 BG WLan card so try to install the latest driver on the Intel site.
    http://downloadfinder.Intel.com/scripts-DF-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=1637&lang=eng

    What Bios:
    Sometimes the BIOS update can solve a lot of strange problems. But make sure that the incorrect BIOS procedure may damage the motherboard. Before you begin this procedure, all passwords must be disabled and AC adapter / CC must be plugged.

    I'm not sure about the question of the virtual machine. It s a 3rd party software and it of not easy to tell if the update of the BIOS can solve it.

    Please post if you have updated the BIOS

  • HP Pavilion 500 series: updates Bios

    HI I was wondering tonight in my hp support center was a significant update of the Bios I was wondering if I could please get some advice on the question of whether it is a good idea to Bios if there is nothing wrong with the Bios in the first place.  Why should I update the Bios or should I not update the Bios for my hp Desktop.

    Thank you for your time and help

    In general, I agree with redshore.  I'm used to be of the opinion that if everything worked as planned, then leave it alone.  Since I use a HP ENVY laptop with Windows 8.1 one year, I noticed that the HP helper has done several updates that I probably have on my own, especially updates BIOS.  I don't know why there would be many updates to BIOS, so have to asuume engineers tried to fix a problem that had been reported.  As redshore, you always stand the risk of bricking the unit with BIOS update is bad and if you read the forums here, there seems to be more those happening.

    Some units now have a feature where a regime of BIOS recorvery is integrated, a good idea.  You might wise to explore your PC to see if the model you have this feature for a while where you might need.

  • Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

    So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
    OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

    I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
    But there was a surprise:
    Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
    1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
    2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

    I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
    Extraction of it I get 8 files:
    -fdbase.img
    -InsydeFlash.exe
    -iscflash.dll
    -iscflash.vxd
    -KPM170. ROM
    -Platform.ini
    -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

    Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

    Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
    I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

    Hello

    Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
    -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
    -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

    Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

    Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

    Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

  • Question about updating BIOS for Satellite 2450-101

    Hi, I want to update BIOS for my Satellite 2450-101 (model: PS245E-01TMY-IT). I downloaded the BIOS "bios - 20071008123347.zip" on Toshiba Europe site (see link below). Is this the right one for my PC?
    What do you propose to make a backup of the existing before installing the new?

    I want to make an extension of memory, but I'm not sure whether this is necessary. Do you reccoment to update the bios anyway?

    Thank you very much!

    BIOS

    Hello!

    Yes, it's the good BIOS because it s also for your model (Satellite 2450-101).

    A BIOS update is an upgrade of RAM is not necessary. The BIOS has nothing to do with the maximum RAM capacity.
    Satellite 2450-101 supports up to 1 GB, type PC2100 DDR - RAM.

  • Satellite 1410-604-BIOS update &gt; update BIOS Incorrect in the web?

    Hi there again!

    Now with a new and strange issue.

    We all know that tell old... "If it does not break, don't fix it." And if you put in more computer terms, "especially if it's a BIOS.

    Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to manage. For some reason, we normally feel as if we manage something like nitroglycerine, or radioactive products. And it's because we all know who is put at risk at the moment: our (or sometimes other) computer, the whole system could end up as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic and son.

    Well. I passed through all of this, more than 10 times in my life, and only once, it went wrong. But since this old motherboard was already dead, it was not important. But I've always been EXTREMELY care. Allways cross checked everything before you do anything, allways has a backup and a way to allways and restore that backup... I did COMPAQ systems, which have been prepared in this way. A BIOS update was about about a disc, turn on the PC with the disk in the floppy drive and wait. And if you don't like the results, you just click on 'back to a previus BIOS' and that was it... very nice. And easy.

    A few days ago a friend gave me a Toshiba Satellite 1410 604 to solve some problems that have been her crazy. After you remove a Norton Internet Security has expired, install avast and scan, I found more than a hundred of files infected with a variety of viruses, malware, trojans, and everything you could imagine. Avast all removed, but the rest of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format it and install from scratch.

    I asked for the restore disks, which obviously it failed because they were lost in one of his trips. After that we had confirmation of Toshiba representatives there is no disk recovery available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC and resigned to losing some of the utilities accompanying that CD and are not available for download on the Web site.

    I downloaded all the software available for this model, including two updates to the BIOS. (In reality an update, but in two versions: Windows and traditional) and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs as if it were a new system installation. And everything was fine, no problems at all. Until we arrived at the wireless LAN card, but that's another problem is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support the encriptación WEP or WAP, and it is not possible to connect to any LAN encripted wireless).

    At this point, and when I started setting up and activation of peripheral PCMCIA and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1, 2.0 not) I discovered this text from Toshiba Web site:

    "This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
    (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard.
    When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)

    For more detailed updated information, please refer to Information update BIOS Toshiba"

    (you can find it here):

    Quite specific. Isn't?)

    According to the information in this Web site, the available BIOS fits the following models:

    "Satellite 2410 414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410 - 654S, Satellite 1410 814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304 s, Satellite 1410 354, 2410-601 Satellite, Satellite 1410-401, {color: #ff0000} * Satellite 1410 604 * {color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410 S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410 S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410 554, Satellite 1410 S102, Satellite 1410 - 354F, Satellite 2410 703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410 - S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410 603, Satellite 1410-902.

    Yes... it's here!

    Now when you go into the "Toshiba BIOS update information", you get:

    "Ref. FAQ: TRO0000000b07.

    A BIOS update is a {color: #ff0000} * operation is relatively simple and can be done by computer more competent users * {color}. All BIOS updates can be obtained from "BIOS update" Section download click here...

    Note: the BIOS files are specific machine the correct BIOS for your machine should be used. »

    Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage BIOS manipulation, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do. It is not badly needed, but at the same time that they encourage people to 'play' with such a delicate question, at the end of this page, in small letters, they say:

    "Toshiba provides this information"as is"{color: #ff0000} * without warranty of any kind * {color}, explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of quality market or adequacy has a specific use." Toshiba shall not be liable to the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. {color: #ff0000} * Toshiba is not responsible for damage caused by the use of any information provided, including incomplete or incorrect information * {color}. »

    This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.

    + "Human error is inherent in man, and it is not possible to eradicate. It will be displayed always, sooner or later"(Prof. James Reason). +

    And finally, I made the mistake. Although I have read this warning, I remembered all these successful BIOS update with COMPAQ and relied for Toshiba. This update was available there, and Toshiba told me that it was for this computer. Great!

    So finally, I disconnected all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN), plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then Windows started the update (windows version, such as recommended by Toshiba). This drug looked very nice, nothing different from what I usually see on these old COMPAQs.

    As reported by the update program, the system would restart. And in fact he did.

    Windows normally closed (a little faster than normal, but without mistakes, and since there is no other programs that most - even the antivirus not working - no), the computer turned off, all lights (normal) offshore, and then again on...

    {color: #0000ff} * BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... ... BEEEEP * {color}

    OMG! I never movement something SO bad. 3-1-1!

    And now... What a 3-1-1 is here? Award BIOS would mean no card graphics or video deffective card, but it is not true, because it worked 20 seconds ago. There are BIOS.

    He never came again to life. He's still 3-1-1 beep.

    But now comes the investigation on the human factors involved in this accident.

    I found I committed the following errors:

    * (1) * rely in the constructor, even if they have WRITTEN their information may be incorrect or incomplete. (BAD if I was a detective QA & QC).

    * (2) * I cross checked deep enough (until it was already too late).

    * (3) * I haven't looked above for how to make a backup of the BIOS to restore must anything deceive you.

    * (4) * let Toshiba lead me to a path that I didn't walk, just because of their supply of 'increased functionality.

    * (5) * Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be performed by the most competent computer users"... they never said it is infallible. "."

    Then I began the most interesting part of the investigation.

    {color: #0000ff} * "what went wrong?" * {color}

    Obviously, the update of the BIOS has not somewhere, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.

    First thing, I discovered that there is another Toshiba search engine called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked to see if, for any chance I could get the old BIOS 1.20 version which was installed at the origin of this machine.

    And I found something... VERY interesting:

    GOOD! Or not?

    Let's take a look:

    First thing I did was download all four files.

    Then I took the same version that made the accident: 1.40

    I unzipped the file, which I found:

    Satellite 1410-S105
    Satellite 1410-S106
    Satellite 1410-S173
    Satellite 1410-S174
    Satellite 1410-S175
    Satellite 1410-S176
    Satellite 1415-S105
    Satellite 1415-S106
    Satellite 1415-S115
    Satellite 1415-S173
    Satellite 1415-S174
    Satellite 1415-S175
    Satellite 1415-S176
    Satellite 2410-S203
    Satellite 2410-S204.

    Please note that the model 1410-604 is * NOT * listed.

    I thought ' well, there must be another archive... ". »

    But then I realized a name that seems familiar, that is, in the directory where I unzipped this file 1.40, and the name is:

    {color: #0000ff} * 2410A9V140. EXE * {color}

    So I took the other file, the update of BIOS_Win, and I discovered that the name of the file is:

    * {color: #0000ff} 2410A9V140. EXE, {color} * (Ups!)

    So I once again, uncompressed to find:

    El n£ series volumen del mero are: 8838-E175

    No readme file...

    Then another issue raised in my mind: what happened to the other file 1.40? What did the other 2410A9V140. EXE are inside?

    This:

    * {color: #ff0000} they have two 20 files and 1 046 461 bytes. I asumed that they are the SAME two folder {color} *.

    And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, so I can't explain it except as a Toshiba error. * {color: #ff0000} they put an incorrect BIOS on their website and has proposed updating and somehow lead to such mistakes. {color} *.

    (Except in the case that one of these models is a name that is different from the model 1410-604, and if that's the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).

    The worst thing is that neither the other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, apparently so no solution possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 to the CMOS, and Toshiba seems to have. They offered me to solve the problem, leaving the laptop to an ASP, and pay only € 95 for the work and about € 280 for a motherboard replacement, I will get it resolved. But they offer no guarantees of their possibilities because is a model "too old" and "abandoned" and "unsupported"...

    In other words, they said 'you don't have to bother with it, just go and buy a new' (something of quite out of my reach in this time of crisis): P

    Thanks for reading so far.

    Now, what I need is to get ideas on a work around for this, my ideas are:

    (1) the CMOS has some startup that works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn in the CMOS memory, the SAME SAME model (a backup BIOS) but the backup should be sufficient for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).

    (2) it is always possible that the BIOS might be OK, but the CMOS data has been corrupted somehow. If so, the CMOS of compensation could solve problem. But I wasn't able to find a clear cmos from the outside button, and after disasembling I took battery, with no good result. I try to leave the MOBO without battery for a period more long (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case where 20 seconds are not all capacitors for well pass zero values. I don't have a lot of hope in this point.

    (3) try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted technical support several times, and I was able to verify that they are only - phone operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem is going - out of reach, they fall in the same response: "you must go to an ASP. I still have a faint hope to find someone who really knows a little and could illuminate with a good BIOS in this disc.

    (4) as far as I could find, this BIOS is not any BIOS-manufacturer known. It seems that it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), so the Phoenix crisis recovery disk won't be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba BIOS. But I'm open to all ideas, which could be put to the test more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature still works, I don't want to lose that possibility alone of redemption).

    Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a falks long post! Sorry about that!

    Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.

    Someone give some tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Please don't say that I shouldn't be doing... I already know that. I already did some research and found my mistakes, not to repeat them. Now, I need to spend, to move and to try to solve this problem, or at least learn to solve similar things. As much as possible.

    Thank you once again, in advance, and sorry again.

    Modified subject to beter reflect what the problem is (apparently erroneous file BIOS in Toshiba Download Center).

    Hi Fenix,

    Wow... He tooked a lot of time to read your post...

    Maybe I can help you.

    The Bios in the website is the right one. If you have downloaded the right version of the Bios.

    Toshiba America, which has most of the time the Askiris you used isn't accurate models for Toshiba Europe.
    This should be the reason, why does not the readme file contain the European model.

    I'll try to do an update of the fresh Bios using the update of the traditional Bios.

    Copy the files on the disk, put it in the floppy drive, press and hold power on the notebook tab.
    After that the laptop is off, press on and hold the key on the left side of space power on the laptop new bar and wait until it turns off again.

    If your laptop does not power perhaps the most, the RAM is default?

    Therefore, if the use of the traditional Bios or change memory doesn't help, and your laptop is still dead you should go to a SPA, but it will cost money.

    I now have my fourth Toshiba laptop and I had never problems with the Bios updates.

    The 1410 is very old I think, so before you go to a SPA, I'd buy a new ;)

    Best regards

  • Satellite L30 - 11 d: update Bios to boot from USB

    I have a Satellite L30 11(d) bought Sept 07.

    I'm interested in trying to boot from USB, at the present time, my bios does not.
    I am looking to update my bios. There is a updated bios updated for me to download (3.10WIN).

    I have 3 questions:

    (1) 3.10WIN allows to boot from USB?

    (2) is 3.10WIN related to the use of MS Vista? (Looking at this article , it seems that the new phoenix / toshiba bios only allows panoramas...?)

    (3) how to settle?

    (with ubuntu 7.10 works well... aside from the sound)

    As to the question;

    (1) No, it is not possible to boot from a memory stick USB HDD or USM

    (2) each BIOS for each series of Toshiba notebook is different! Please don t no matter what other laptop computer BIOS or fixed PCs. Satellite L30 - 10 d belongs to the series of the 3,10 and PSL33E BIOS is OS independent. If your laptop comes with XP then the BIOS supports XP completely. Of course, you can try to install Vista but it is possible that some features of the laptop as FN keys will be does not work

    (3) the BIOS should always be done in the Windows operating system. As you can see on the page of the Toshiba driver the BIOS version is called 3.10Win - version

    Greetings

  • Pavilion g6-2215sia: CARD without WIRE NOT DETECTED AFTER UPDATE BIOS

    Recently I have updated my BIOS on my laptop HP Pavilion g6-2215sia think he'll adjust the hardware acceleration feature missing in my system (there is no option in my BIOS to enable virtualization technology). My BIOS version was F.12 and I've updated to F.24, but after update BIOS all my wireless functionality no longer works (including my wifi and bluetooth), and still there is no option to enable virtualization technology in my BIOS settings. On my Windows 8.1 x 64 Pro wifi and bluetooth options are grayed out so I can't turn them on or off. I tried to reinstall my bluetooth driver, but the software says that it doesn't detect any bluetooth hardware. Even when I restart and boot in all my Linux distributions installed on my system (Ubuntu, Quina and Kali Linux) and my x 86 Android, they still do not detect my wireless capability (says Ubuntu, "wifi is disabled by hardware switch").

    To confirm that this was not a software problem, I has conducted an audit of start-up and tested for my wireless module and got this result, "without WIRE MODULE CHECK: NOT INSTALLED". The only way I can get my Windows operating system to recognize my wireless (wifi and bluetooth) is now by doing a hard reset, when I unplug my laptop from the power supply, remove the battery and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. When I turn on my system, then I can turn my wifi/bluetooth on my Windows. But if I restart my system the problem comes back and I can't turn on my wireless. So basically, I have to avoid questioning my system off and only Hibernate, so that whenever I turn on my laptop I can use the wireless. If I restart my system so I have to repeat the hard reset in order to use my wifi/bluetooth, which can be very annoying.

    The problem is that I often use my other Linux disributions and I have to restart before starting in them so that my readers will be mounted read/write, and when I do my Linux can not detect my wireless and it's a serious pain for me because I need to use my wireless often for internet connection.

    Please I really need help on how to fix this and get my wireless working normally without having to do a hard reset every time. I tried to restore my BIOS F.12 unfounded but I don't have the image file (I extensively searched the Internet to find, but does not). I've even updated again to F.26 but I still have the same problem (my current version of BIOS is F.26).

    If you see no updates the BIOS in your list of drivers - where do you have the updates to the BIOS, you used?

    Try here - if you do not see the list of the BIOS, use the "Edit" button to change Windows 8.1 to Windows 8:
