• Pavilion dv9655ea: screen garbled in the bios and windows

  Hi I have a laptop of dv9655ea of Pavilion, which had vista installed on it from the factory. I decided that I would upgrade to windows 7 ultimate. Everything was going well until I started to install drivers and I believe that it is the graphics driver that messed me up.

  Now, I have 256 colors and lines and blocks on my screen and cannot do something. I managed to Flash my bios, thinking it was a bios problem, but not sure. I tried to reinstall the graphics drivers to no success.7

  Can someone please help me with this problem of another sound in the tray.

  Thank you.

  Hi @Lordzytech ,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question on your HP Pavilion Notebook dv9655ea and text scrambled on the screen of the BIOS.  The BIOS has not all drivers installed for the moment so I don't think it's a driver issue or dysfunction of the graphics card.

  I recommend to restore the default settings of the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. This will have the BIOS check the connected equipment. If an update has changed the BIOS that it will restore and generally solves all problems.

  I don't see that on the HP driver page there are drivers for Windows 7. The original operating system on this laptop was Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit and it used use a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS graphics card.

  You may need to return the laptop to Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Here is a link for your system recovery.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• BIOS and Windows 64 bit 8.1 does not see rM 8 GB

  Buy Acer E5 - 572G NX. MQ0EL.005.

  It has 4 GB of RAM (Samsung 12800 1600 mhz) then bought a bar - Crucial 4 GB DDR3 PC3 - 12800 CL11 SO - DIMM CT51264BF160BJ.

  Place it in the second slot.

  Result - BIOS shows only 4 GB of RAM and Windows shows same 4 GB RAM (something aroung 3.8 GB)

  Tried to replace the second stick of ram but same result.

  Any ideas what's happening?

  Tried to run laptop with only Crucial working stick - BIOS 4 GB

  Then tried to place again noticed two poles that stick in second slot is not placed correctly (pins were visible), place it with more force, so that the pins are not visible and now it works.

  Once in the BIOS and Windows - 8 GB of RAM.

  Thanks, IronFly.

• Update of the BIOS under Windows 7 and XP

  Hello

  I have XP on C:\ and you want to install windows 7 on D:\ and my friend did the same thing without any problem.
  but my big question is after I installed win7 on D: and XP on C: when I try to install/update the BIOS for windows 7 then what happened to XP?

  thnx.

  Hello

  Sounds like you don t know this BIOS, it's exactly the BIOS has nothing to do with the software or the operating system that you are installing. EC * B * asic * I * nput * O * utput * S * system is stored on a ROM module on the motherboard and manage the different hardware components, system startup, etc..

  If the BIOS update is needed on a BONE. ;)

• Satellite M60 is beginning not after the update of the BIOS through windows

  Hi all

  I was updating my bios on my M60 with the latest version of the bios and I was following the windows flashing procedure (the recommended) and it blue screened and dumped. Now, the laptop does not start, wont even post. Just a big dead brick :(

  I am pretty competent with material (I'm a software engineer), but I don't know how to reflash a laptop when this kind of thing happens. Is there a trigger bios reset on board? Can I do it myself? If I take this back to my dealer how likely they can reflash the bios in the House do? (Its a pretty major dealer of the Toronto area)

  What is a work system that I need the solution that has the smallest impact of time - cost isn't too important an issue.

  Any help would be great,

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello Kristan

  According to the description of your problem, I guess that the BIOS chip is damaged and unfortunately you can not do much alone. Please contact the Toshiba service and explain the situation. They will explain everything you need to know and you can talk with them about costs and the time they need for the repair of laptops.

  Good bye

• 5205 - update of the BIOS and the system locked up satellite

  I have a Toshiba Satellite 5205, I updated the BIOS to 1.5 (I think it was.)

  And the laptop locked up it seemed all in the bios flashing. The reason why I say shut up
  is because windows never stop after the flash and windows was totally locked up.

  Now when I turn on the laptop, I get no image on the LCD at all. And the remote control downwards at the front said "technician / bios call. I know that if the battery go dead bios will reset (like a desktop computer.)

  But another problem is, can't get off the case to get at the battery, so he'll recover.
  I never had too many problems with laptops, I can fix/repair computers office without problem.

  I was wondering, bios clear/reset if I take the battery pack on the back of the computer laptop itself?
  Don't know if it will have the same effect as the removal of the (watch battery inside like a normal desktop computer.)

  I had a problem with my pad endangered and hang retouching who enter or exit Windows. It's
  why I decided to update.

  Because I don't get a picture now, I can't re-flashing the bios.

  Any advice on that would be great.

  Hello James

  If you remove the CMOS battery, it will have no influence. The BIOS is written in the BIOS chip and cannot be given to previous version before upgrading. The problem is that you have a United States model and I have no experience with the Toshiba U.S. models.

  If you want to see the page we Toshiba under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp

  Maybe you can find something interesting there. In any case, from your description, I assume that the BIOS is faulty and you need technical assistance. Call them and ask what exactly the error message. Please give us a feedback on this problem. It may be useful for other users we Toshiba.

  Bye and good luck!

• Tecra A8-185 - the update of the BIOS under Windows 7?

  Hi again,

  I have a question how update of the BIOS under Windows 7 ultimate x 64. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After having unpacked there is only the .exe file.

  When I try to run this file, he said, that my OS is not supported. When I run it in compatibility mode (with Vista or XP), it starts the upgrade, but gives me an error: "the BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on this configuration. "What should I do? I really need a new BIOS.

  Can I run it at the start of the USB key, or whatever?

  Hi offi55

  Why do you need a new BIOS? You may notice some problems with the laptop or why are you trying to update?

  However, I think that the update should only be done on the pre-installed Windows version (XP or Vista). I guess that this update n t tested and designed to update Windows 7 so I think that would be the reason why you can t.

  So to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

• Satellite A200-1DN - the update of the BIOS for Windows 7

  I am running 32-bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I had battery problems (plugged in, does not support) and I understand that I have to update my BIOS. However I can't find an update of the BIOS for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.

  Can anyone help? I should update with the BIOS in Vista? Are there other options to fix this battery? I already tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you
  Ian

  Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before you do, try this:

  Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off
  Remove the battery. Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
  Reinsert the battery and plug it into the power adapter

  > I tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

  also, have you had the same problem before installing Win 7?

• Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

  I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

  • BIOS: 2.05
  • ME: 2.1.5.73
  • BMC 1.7
  • IPMI 2.0

  Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

  As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

  HERE'S MY QUESTION:

  Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

  Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

  With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

  https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkServer-rack-mounted/BIOS-settings-blank-with-cursor-after-BIOS-UPD...

  Thank you to all those who commented above and especially to those who have sent me suggestions via PMs.

• Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

  Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba OS independent 2, 00 - WIN World Wide

  In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
  My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

  My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

  Hello

  > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
  You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
  So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

  If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running

• UPDATE THE BIOS AND HARD DRIVE

  Hi, I'm going to do a clean install of win. 7 home Premium and I would like to upgrade the Bios and installing a hard drive SSD 120 GB and 2 GB of ram.

  Desktop PC

  5226Model #: CQ5226UK
  Product #: VS273AA-ABU
  Serial No.:[personal information deleted]
  Software Build #: 94WEv6PrA3
  Service ID #: 111-709
  PCBRAND: Presario

  3200AAJS-60M0A0 320 GB WD HARD DRIVE

  Intel pentium dual core 2.6

  PC built Sept 2009

  I looked at the Hp site but could not find an update for my bios.  Mobo is Foxconn Eton 1.0 and the Bios is FRIEND 5.05 25.09.2009

  A scan utility (Bios Agent) indicates that there is an update, but they require payment for flashing the bios.  In case I have some concerns, and many would prefer to download Hp or Foxconn.  I looked on the sites Web from Foxconn and FRIEND, but they require a lot & a lot of information that I don't have and don't know where to find them. I was hoping someone might have the same PC to give me information.

  Also to install the disk SSD drive I brobably would need an adapter to allow the reader to 2.5 inches to fit into the drive 3.5 "bracket. Apart from this, the connectors on the SSD drives all seem to be the same.  is this correct please or will it take a SSD and a specific to my PC case and my existing hard drive adapter.

  Thank you

  Hi thanks for your help, advice and information: my PC was purchased in January 2009 is a little more than 4 years.  The upgrade would cost 130 pounds. I could not buy a decent PC with 4 GB ram and an SSD for under £500.   I do not download music or movies, or make more than a small base video editing so I'm sure that with these improvements, there will be more than enough for me.

  One thing doesn't bother me.  It seems that when buying a PC Bios updates are available for the first 2/3 years, but not thereafter.  It would not have occurred to me to look for an update of the bios, during this period just simply because I thought that they were issued only when necessary to take into account improvements and new technologies so thanks for that. you live & learn.

  I'm trying to teach me the 'nuts & bolts' repair and fix PC problems and I guess that's the main use for my PC.  Experiment with a new £500 Pc would scare me to death.

  I'm on Linux Ubuntu 13.1 without any problems on my PC Dell 9 years and XP Pro on my HP Pavilion 13, so maybe I can do my Compaq last a little longer.

  Once again thank you very much.  its part of the process of learning.  see you soon

• HP DV6 of the computer stopped working after the update of the Bios and Memoryupgrade

  HP DV6 - 3161EO

  XE068EA #UUW

  Hi, I bought a brand new HP with Intel I5 processor computer and GUI double, its been working well so far and I thought that I should upgrade the Bios and memory as well.

  So I did, I bought memory 10600 and crusial 12600 and corsair, a single and two put in correspondence of the sticks, just to be in business, and I've updated the bios. of F.13 to F.29

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=SV&CC=se&DLC=SV&sw_lang=&product=4344...

  The computer worked perfectly for about 4-5 hours, then there are allmost quite dead.

  Ive tried to pass on different memorycabsm like the original samsungs that came with the computer.

  Ive tried the famous "hard reset".

  Nothing, the computer starts "boots" but don't approach the entered message turnes off.

  Presedure same each time.

  Any memory I put in, the same result.

  Ive used different powerbricks, turned of the computer resets hard, between 10s 2 min, picked up the bios battery, has offered free energy.

  Let the rest of the computer for half a day, put it all together exept cmos battery = exactly the same as before.

  "take out all the memories and the computer works and get that caps lock flashing light.

  So my question is this

  Why you encourage people to update, when it's clearly the fault at hand.

  Sell your computers with 8 GB of ram from the beginning so the people do not have upgraded later because your hardware is not able to manage different memorycaps of accepted and authorized as crusial or corsair providers.

  Ive built perhaps 50-60 computers and had about 10 laptops and NEVER had a fault like this.

  My laptop $1200 is useless, and I actually held you at HP responsible of it.

  The computer is of course out of warranty, so its my own falult, as usual.

  «A simple question, is there a way to 'force' a new bios on the Board, without memory of the computer, because it is the only time where it works and works welll.»

  Thnx, 'a sick owner HP.

  For later use, it's really kff upward, but I got it working again.

  1 changed the original memorycabs for much faster, 1600 mhz, I know that this mobo doesn't support, but he did start the computer, so I could run the Windows + arrows Bios recover.

  Installed the HP bios tools F10 + GIS and it worked.

  so I guess I have to myself a thank you and a boost of the kudosbutton, hahah

  Well, when your computer went down, don't give up and try everything you can, this prob took me about 3-4 days to eradicate, but now its working again.

  See you soon

• Can Equium P200 (PSB5E) - I update the BIOS on Windows 7?

  Hello.

  My question is: how to upgrade the BIOS under Windows 7? My Bios version is 1.70, I've seen, this version 2.50 is available for download, but only under Vista.

  Can it run Windows 7?

  Hello

  First question;
  Why do you update the BIOS?
  Is the reason for this?
  If the laptop runs successfully a BIOS update is not necessary!

  Now back to the issue of BIOS;
  Some laptops have special need BIOS for Win XP or Vista.
  So if you are using XP or Vista, then you must use the BIOS that was designed for one of these windows systems on the European driver Toshiba page you can see a column of OS that provides the info for what BIOS OS is designed.

  But in most cases, the BIOS is OS independent, which means that you can use it in any Windows operating system.

  Simply said; If the BIOS is available for Vista, then you can only use it with Vista.
  If it s independent OS, you can use it with Win 7, Vista or XP
