Update unsuccessful BIOS with M3100/M5100

I intend to upgrade proseccor AMD Athlon 64 4000 + my Aspire and map graphic.

I read that AMD Phenom X 4 9500 would probaply the best option. Before ordering proseccor I tried to update my bios R02-B1 without success. Installation of BIOS has informed "program file part number does not match your system.

My PC is labeled and purchased as M3100 but BIOS says it's M5100 (I think that this conflct is due to the major warranty on this PC repair)

Then info from the BIOS:

Aspire M5100

MB S/N 04PJ75018889

Principal ID Board F690GVM

SM BIOS Version 2.4

System BIOS Version 6.00 P6

System BIOS ID R01 - A3

Version of the BIOS date 10/10/2007

Thank for all succestions.

When you update your Bios, you must stay with like kind. If A then stay with an if B stay B and L with L... I think that is the problem and looking at the page for your updates to the Bios, it looks like yours is better then what is listed.

Hope this helps some

  • E531 update the Bios with WIndows 10 installed?

    Is it possible to update the BIOS with 10 Windows installed on E531?

    I don't see W7, W8, and XP

    Yet once, have solved this problem, I thought I would share with others who may have the same or similar issues.

    I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install. Installation BIOS itself is a little funky; I saw the screen go completely white for a while without message about progress or anything like that. But ultimately it ends and works well.

  • Update the Bios with Windows 7

    I have a compaq presario sr2173wm.  He came originally with windows vista.  I've upgraded to windows 7.  Now, I would like to update my bios.  My problem is that the update of the HP bios has my computer does not work with windows 7.  Anyone have any ideas

    If you're having no problems, it is not really any reason to upgrade a BIOS.  And update BIOS of HP programs only work on plant operating systems (unfortunately), so without hacking of the installer, you will not be able to install the BIOS update unless you are on a computer using a BIOS from HP HP and the factory operating system.  I'm sorry.  But, in a nutshell, a previous post that said better; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  You have problems with the normal operation of your computer?

  • x 61 was updated the BIOS with 7nuj21us.exe Failed BIOS update utility

    Only, I have restored my x 61 to the original settings due to a problem with the blue screens and decided to update the BIOS right afterwards.  I followed the directions precisely and installed all 21 of each component for this model.

    I then turn off the computer and turned it back this morning to continue to load the software.  The system started with the fan running at high speed and stopped at the ThinkPad screen.  However, nothing happened after pressing the ThinkVantage button and F1 or another touches besides.  I left for a few hours, but finally determined that I could not turn off or do anything with the machine.  He just hung there.  I did finally remove the battery and replace it and now there is not able to record when the machine is connected and it does not start.

    Is there something I can do to recover the system?  I suspect that the answer is a replacement of the Commission.  The update of the BIOS was not at the same time with something on my computer.  I have just 2 years in the warranty period at the United States, so if I need to replace the card, what are the best options?

    Thanks for your help and comments... it is a very frustrating twist, because this is my work machine.

    Dmtrich,

    Certainly, we can download and system flash here, just to be safe.

  • Can I update the bios with software for windows vista?

    I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

    Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

  • I've updated my bios with lenovo update... then it could not start

    I have a 3000 n200 0769 b5g... I just updated the bios, then he could not start... What is the solution... is this a format? then I tried to format my pc but I didn't coz he has a 8 GB freespace only when I use my bootable drive... it must have 140 GB... where can I get a good start and I can burn it to a cd...

    Failed to start o? You mean it restarts when it comes to where windows should start up (you get a blue screen), if this is the case, go into the BIOS, and then search for the HARD drive mode (AHCI I think), if the mode is on, turn it off, it should work fine after that.

    If it's a different kind of problem starting, I don't know...

  • update the BIOS with Win 7

    Hello everyone, it has been a while. I had some problems with my SR5505F, I run Memtest + 86 on a barrette of RAM (2x2gb) both, but first wanted to check/upgrade the BIOS in case that was the problem, problem is, I upgraded the OS from Vista to Windows 7, and the BIOS for this model only offer the choice for Vista 32 and Vista 64 What should I do, my last update of the BIOS shows 2008. Thanks for any help.

    Yes, I wouldn't risk.

    You can always make a system image to install W7 using W7 backup tool, reinstall Vista, Flash the BIOS and reinstall W7 from your image backup. You will need to do a W7 boot CD or use your installation disk of W7 and instead of the installation option, select repair your computer option at the bottom left of the installation screen.  Then select restore from an image system or what is the closest that verbage thing.

    No vista installation media?

    You can do it yourself.  See below... beginning on page 289.

  • 22-3020: updating the BIOS with the utility HP - big mistake

    I have a model all-in-one 22-3020 who Support Assistant who kept harassing me to do a BIOS update.  I followed the instructions, he made a back-up and then the utility went down.  When you are finished, I continued to use the computer without a problem.

    The next morning, I got a white screen, waved the mouse to activate the standby mode screen (I guess) and if the computer was on, I couldn't any screen.  I restarted the computer (several times) with no screen.  Then, I searched this problem on Google and found a recommendation to hit the F10 key for 8 seconds, arrow down 3 times, and then press enter two times.  It was suggested that the BIOS update has somehow got stuck in standby mode.

    I tried without success and took the computer to a local repair center who told me that they couldn't access the BIOS to go back, or set.  In short, they said that the assistant to Support HP probably brick my computer and I would probably need to replace the motherboard.  I'll pass.

    Can anyone offer any other suggestions on how to try to restart the computer?  Is it possible to connect another monitor using the USB or HDMI so I can see if the F10 key is me to get into the BIOS (although I suppose that the repair people who would have thought).

    I'm the only one who has had my computer in brick by this utility that comes on the computer?

    Any help appreciated.

  • update BIOS with freedos

    I have an Elite 7000 MT running linux.  Is it possible to update the BIOS with FreeDOS?  According to this link http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=4025606&...the sp48334.exe that contains a file AFUWIN.exe and Flash.bat should work with FreeDOS.  However, when I run it from a USB bootable with FreeDOS, I get the message "Cannot run this program in DOS mode."  It seems that AFUWIN.exe is not intended for the BACK, so this is a mistake that HP says it should work with FreeDOS?  Seems rather, I need AFUDOS.

    Thank you.

    Great idea!  It worked.  Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

    Hi all

    I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

    I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

    My questions:
    * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
    * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

    Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I agree with Luke.
    The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
    Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

    But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

    You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
    As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

  • Update the BIOS Tecra M11 - 11L: to get power on display on two screens?

    Y at - it a BIOS update that lets me select "BOTH" as an option for the power on the screen?
    Currently, it lists only internal and automatic selection.

    Automatic selection outputs only to the external screen if it is connected.
    I need set the default output on both screens.

    Older Toshibas to this. In fact, all other Toshiba I used has this feature.
    Like a laptop rental/presentation/Conference, this is an important feature.

    And Yes, I've updated the BIOS with the latest version.

    Thank you

    Ben

    > Self-select out only on the external screen if it is connected.
    > I need set the default output on both screens.

    No, it doesn't have this BIOS update that would add this option.

  • Should I update my Bios?

    I have an old DV6707us.  I bought a new computer and when it failed, I took my old laptop and replace the hard drive has failed. The original system is Windows Vista.  A couple of months he has reformatted the new hard drive and installed Win7.

    My question is: there was an old BIOS upgrade, I the way back a couple of years ago, when the computer was using Win Vista: should I update the BIOS again since I installed Win 7?  He has not rejected since that time that I updated the BIOS with vista on it.

  • No display after the update of BIOS on Satelltie P100

    Hi all

    I have a P100, which does not display laptop.
    Recently I have updated the Bios with this years updated bios.
    The problem is that it does not start on the external monitor and FN + f5 do not work.
    The laptop starts so I guess this is the display setting in the bios.

    Can anyone who has the P100 (pspa0e) with the latest Bios (32-bit) write down the exact key sequence to enter the bios and change this setting and save it?

    Kind regards

    Stephan
