Update the BIOS, "Current running on a system not supported"

I'm trying to update the BIOS on a Dell Dimension E521 originally shipped with Win XP, but I recently did a fresh install of Win7 on. When I try to run the installation program, it gives me 'information system' system 'unknown', & "running on a system that is not supported" notice & will not let me continue. What happens with that, & how do I fix the problem?

Hello

Latest version of the BIOS for your PC back in 2007 so it will hardly make a difference with Windows 7 performance.

What are you trying to solve with the update of the BIOS?

Unfortunately, DELL only offers updates via Windows (XP only, in this case) and not via BACK like many others don't.

  • Update the BIOS Alienware x 51 now does not start

    So I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 and a re-install my drivers and using the products download page on another computer Dell drivers and download them to a flash drive and upgrade on the primary computer. I have finished all updates until I got to the BIOS update, I installed in and rebooted my system, now it starts but freezes and does not move to the Alienware Logo. Just to put it out there, I have updated BIOS A08 A14. The screen that I can like normal Alienware Logo screen, showing that I use an Alienware x 51, a bar of blue loading, BIOS Version A14 and then Setup F2 and F12 Boot Options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Zach.

    Hello

    Check in the Bios (for access to the tap water of the F2 key on startup Bios) under the Startup section, look for an option called Boot Mode and make sure that its game in the UEFI. Also, make sure that the Secure Boot option is turned off, save the changes and reboot the system. Let us know how it goes.

  • Satellite L10-119: update the BIOS clears and RTC battery is not

    I upgraded my Satellite L10-119 with new 250 GB HARD drive and the BIOS update. The laptop worked well.
    After two months a probem follow arrived - only first 137 Gb(2^48) of the disk is accessible.
    I've discovered:

    1. If I flash BIOS again and the computer restarted after flashing, the upper part of the HARD drive is accessible for a short time or until I restart again.
    2. a show of internal clock 01/01/1988 if I disconnect and connect a main battery.

    So I guess that it is a problem with the RTC battery (L10-119 is 2.5 years old)

    I tried to charge the battery of the CCF by connecting the laptop power for a long time, but this does not solve the problem.
    Does anyone know what can I do else (except visit ASP)?

    Post edited by: Admin

    Your guess was right, and I also, think that the problem with your BIOS settings always clear RTC battery.
    In other words, the RTC is dead.

    Battery charging will not succeed, because he can't keep the load.
    It's probably not as easy to replace then with desktop computers, so I advise you to contact local ASP, and all must be dismantled.

    I'm sorry to tell you, it's the only method I know to get your laptop to life.

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

  • Update the BIOS and system health report question

    I have two questions to ask you.

    1. I just bought a Quad DV6T-7000 a month ago. I'm unable to create a report of health system through the control panel > performance & information > advanced tools > generate system health report.  I get an error saying "cannot run" with no other information. It apparently came from HP in this way. Something has been corrupted? I have configured my laptop the way I like it and have installed all programs and applications of my previous laptop, so I hope that I don't need to do an installation of windows 7 to fix this. It is not really important. But it should work.

    2 HP Support Assistant automatically installs updates to bios, or is it something that has to be done manually? I am currently set to auto critical or important updates. There is an update of the bios (f.22 I think) available for my Pavilion DV6T - 7000 Quad Edition, however, I am wary to update my bios given the many problems that people have after doing an update their bios.  So far, HP support Assistant has not notified me of the update and I have problems with the problems it addresses. Should I be worried?

    Thank you, appreciate your making this feature expert day!

The files of your operating system will be inspected and the files that are supposed to be corrupted or damaged will be replaced with fresh copies of the repository own Windows file.  If this does not resolve the problem, then I suggest that you run Windows update. There may be an update that resolves this problem

    Does your laptop have a UEFI environment.  This in fact safe update the BIOS if you decide to do.

     

    You can set the HP Support Assistant to install updates or to notify you when updates are available.

    I recommend that you do not set automatically update anything. My preference is that the Windows operating system and the laptop / desktop only doing what I want to do and when I want them to... That way I don't get surprises not unexpected and mysterious death blue screens or black screens.

  • Update the BIOS W540 2.18 cannot start any operating system

    I try to update the BIOS of the thinkpad w540 BIOS version 2.18.
    Everything seems to work fine and it tells me the update is flashed.

    But now, when my w540 starts, it does everything as usual, but when you start to load the operatig system it turn off and restart and that is again and again.

    I can get into the BIOS setup and the version is update a (2.18)
    I can change in the BIOS options and can I choose where my w540 boots. I try to boot from the HD, a CD, a flash, but no use (using Windows 7 on HD and flash Linux and ESXi from CD).

    My problem, I can not start any operating system present.

    Can anyone help please, thank you.

    In the BIOS under startup under Startup UEFI/Legacy, set options "both", "first heritage."

  • System freeze when it is opened the tool update BIOS, how can I update the BIOS?

    I'm trying to update the BIOS on my 14 (1016tx) want.

    I downloaded the latest BIOS from the HP website and open it, the dialog box has 2 buttons only start at 1, output 2

    Click 1 start, then another dialog box pops up saying not to stop your computer blablabla... and asks me to confirm, OK or cancel

    However, all input devices have no answer at this time. No keyboard, touchpad, usb mouse no longer works. USB ports seem to be put off, since the light on my usb key is off.

    The power button does not work neither. I continue to press it for about 1 minute, just can't turn off the machine and I have to remove the power cord and the battery to stop the crazy fan.

    p.s. I just installed the operating system. (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) until I try to update the BIOS.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I managed to fix everything on time. It seems that the problem was caused by the absence of HP_TOOL partition on my hard drive.

    I downloaded the UEFI BIOS HP update and installed it, he created a partition of 2 GB HP_TOOL for me, and then the BIOS update tool work (it will restart the computer to update the UEFI BIOS and BIOS update).

    P.S. Just wonder why HP releases suck a stupid tool. If it relies on a HP_TOOL partition, it should just say that instead of drive the crazy fan and disable all buttons!

    I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

    is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
    You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

    You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

  • Satellite L500-1XC - error while updating the BIOS

    Hi, just download the most recent update BIOS but there is an error everytime I try to update to come... "uefi bios winflash over 210 ac of 10% battery attached"

    Connected AC and battery not charging but tried to leave and remove too. Current bios 1.60
    I tried to find a BIOS flash utility but no permits. BIOS default loaded and tried in safe mode too.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I think that's the problem because the battery is not completely charged so you can't update the BIOS. Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off? I mean you can see the battery LED and if the battery is charged it changes the color of the orange in white or green (it s mentioned in the user manual). Can you confirm this?

    On the other side, it would be interesting to know why the BIOS update is important to you. Problems with the computer? If it is not updated the BIOS isn't important, you can forget it. Never touch a running system ;)

  • Split 13 x 2 can't update the bios

    I have a new split of HP 13 X 2 computer laptop / tablet. I have upgraded to Windows 8.1. Tried to update the system BIOS but it fails. I have Kaspersky Anti-virus turn off when you run the update and my account is Administrator status. Evry time I try and update the bios, I get an error "failure" and said copy update has failed. What should I do to fix this?

    Just flashed manually with a USB key. Appears the utility tries to copy the update to the bios on hp/efi/bios on partition 2, but I can't find how to go from Windows, even with hidden folders to display. The update tool the wish was easier and you can specify where you put the update from version 'dumbed down too low to be useful.

    Steps to Flash manually:

    1 use the bios tool to copy the files to a recovery USB drive. It will create a Hewlett-Packard folder. In BIOS and the BIOS update, but the update f19 falls within the bios/current.

    2. with your PSU AC plugged, reboot the computer. Once the screen goes black, start hitting ESC.

    3. even if it seems you can arrow down and press ENTER to select F2, press the F2 key... without the function key.

    4. Insert the USB key, select the firmware, bios update, select the usb drive and navigate to the folder of the bios/current.

    5. you will be asked if you want to update the current bios of 16 to 19. Click bios update (forget what it actually says) and sit down and let it do its thing.

    6. restart. If you have enabled as I do of bitlocker, now you must pick up the keys. After that is done, then you have a F19 X 2.

    Have not used enough to see if 19 solves this problem of the touchpad, but refuse to do workaround above.

  • Question of updating the BIOS of the Tecra M10

    Hello

    I own a Tecra M10-10 q (abbreviated model: PTMB1E)
    I received a few days ago an automatic alert of Toshiba TEMPRO to inform a new BIOS driver.

    After downloading and extracting the .zip file, I launched the executable: P0065v190.exe
    Asked me to confirm that I want to date of current version BIOS BIOS package version 1.90 1.50

    When I click on 'Yes', I got a popup window titled: "TOSHIBA BIOS Package version 3.2.9!
    with between other precautions, the following statement:
    "Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista before updating the BIOS"

    A google search on what is "BitLocker Drive Encryption" and how to disable it, informs that it is under the heading 'Security' in the control panel.
    However, I can't find anything like "BitLocker", when I click on 'Security' in the Panel!

    So, I cancelled the update procedure. But I like to keep my system uptodate!
    What should I do? Where to find the BitLocker? How to make a such BIOS update?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Windows Bit locker drive BitLocker is a data protection feature that is available ONLY in Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.

    If you don t have one of these versions of Vista, then a Bilocker is NOT available on your preinstalled system!

    With regard to the update of the BIOS;
    I'm always that notice; never change a running system; so, if the laptop works properly and without problem a BIOS update is not necessary that s my personal opinion

    See you soon

  • Satellite A100 - 803 (PSAANE) - Trouble updating the BIOS in Vista

    Hello

    I tried to update the BIOS on my laptop today. After the installation of the new BIOS, restarted the pc and then it showed a black screen with white display text material in the machine.

    In the end, it says something about a corrupt CMOS. She said press F1 to default or F2 for Setup.

    I pressed F1.

    The thing is that I don't know if it worked. I used a program to display the bios version and it seems up to date, but the CMOS thing me freaked out.

    I met all of the planned maneuvers (AC adapter / CC plugged etc.) except in startup mode. I assumed that the boot mode is currently in the standard vista desktop.

    * What is this thing of startup mode? * It's driving me crazy. I searched the forums, google and nothing. How can I get the computer to "boot mode and not recovery mode" as the tutorial says.

    I intend to reinstall the BIOS as soon as I know how to enter in the boot mode.

    I think that this announcement has already answered in this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=122727#122727

    You're talking about the traditional BIOS update, but the fact is that on the Toshiba driver page you will find ONLY the base BIOS update windows.
    All new BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be updated only running a Windows operating system.

    In the BIOS, the package should be unzipped everything first, and then an .exe file must be run.

    That s all ;)

  • Update the BIOS on the Satellite C850D - 10 X

    I try to update the BIOS, I currently have:

    This version 1.60

    My OS is Windows 8, is it possible? When I run the BIOS_V6.10_WIN update. EXE, nothing happens?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You need to download the BIOS first.
    Save it to the desktop.
    Then unzip the first packet of bios - 20120920193426.zip

    After that, you will find an exe inside packaging
    It is also a zipped package.
    Right click on the exe file and select unpack here

    Now, you will get more files in the new package and there, you should find a file from the update.

  • 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:
