Updated bios for AMD athlon 2600 +.

It has been suggested that I update my bios for my AMD Athlon 2600 +.  Googing autour,
I see several sites that say they do.  How can I know what is good, and
who's safe?

Thank you
Mike.

The BIOS and processor are two different things.

BIOS = on the motherboard
AMD Athlon processor =

Update the BIOS - how to

Visit the website of your computer manufacturer (Dell, HP, Gateway, etc) and select your computer model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download the BIOS for your model. If there is a newer version available download the BIOS and follow the instructions to update the BIOS of your computer - all computers are different so I can't give you exact directions. Update of the BIOS can be risky - follow the instructions carefully and don't unplug or turn off your computer.

Do not download a BIOS update of Web sites at random.

    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.

  • Updating BIOS for Equium A60-181

    Hi, according to the toshiba site there is a new update of the BIOS for my laptop.
    I was wondering is it worth the update, unfortunately, there is no information
    provided regarding the bugfixes or improvements? Also can I use the
    Windows update tool or use the bootable CD, it's just I'm not sure
    flashing Windows XP, except if it is a procedure without normal fault?

    see you soon,

    Richard S.

    Hi Richard

    Richard you have some problems with this device? If everything works properly I don't see a reason any BIOS update.

    If you think that the update of the BIOS is necessary, you can try Windows based Bios update but please check the first Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before you continue.

    Hello

    I found this statement to update the Toshiba BIOS for this series of portable:
    1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a formatted floppy disk (please see note below regarding the type of disk to use).
    2. make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
    3. turn off the laptop.
    4. turn on the laptop with the F12 key. Press and hold until a short beep can be heard.
    5. the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward"will appear.
    6. place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive and press a key. FDD access will begin.
    7. When prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn the AC OFF power off / WE) to restart" remove the disk and press the RESET switch (if available) or turn the system off and turn it on again to restart the laptop.

    But note; Update the BIOS is always risky! If your laptop works ok, then update the BIOS is not really necessary!

  • Hi all, I need a little help to try to solve a problem of updating Bios for a long time.

    I downloaded the new update of the Bios on the HP site. But when I try to install the update, the process goes up to only while it presents me with an error. Any help would be appreciated, I am trying to upgrade the Bios for the new firmware in order to perform a better processor. Thank you...

    Error code: 3033

    "GoTo" label not found

    on line 89 of w:\patches\i...ate\windows\installer.wbt

    My system is...

    Compaq Presario SR1339uk

    Serial number: CZB5050HBW

    System number: PS267AA

    Motherboard: Asus PTGD1 - LA

    BIOS version: 3.13 12/14/04

    Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition

    Not sure what's going on here, but here is a suggestion on how to properly install manually the update of the BIOS.

    Assume that you download SP26760.exe (BIOS 3.28)

    Start the update - go to the last message you get before it fails and stop. (must be where it prompts you to close the applications and will be saved).

    Open a DOS (command prompt).    You must be an administrator - so if you're running Vista or Win7 - make sure that 'run as administrator ' at the opening of the box.

    Once in the BACK, type:

    CD FOLDER

    go the the directory of temporary files.

    Then make a

    DIR /S 328.LE ROM

    to find the directory where the update files are located.    Type CD < directory name > to go in this directory (on my system, it was a folder called pft467D.tmp, but it might be different on your)

    CD pft467D.tmp

    Now manually invoke (the prompt back, no windows or the windows file manager) the update, with the appropriate switches.  By omitting the switches can cause other problems, as have reported activation of Windows problems.

    AFUWIN /i328. ROM /pbc

    For reference, on my system, here's what I saw in these folders:

    C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > dir

    Volume in drive C is DRIVE_C
    Volume serial number is FE8F-4AA6

    Directory of C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp

    26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >.
    26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >...
    24/01/2006 15:31 524 288 328.le rom
    01/07/2004 10:54 53 248 AFUWIN.exe
    01/07/2004 10:54 amifldrv.sys 6 912
    21/02/2006 18:08 526 374 Installer.exe
    09/05/2006 17:10 sp26760.rtf 1 784
    11/04/2005 10:55 398 696 WBDEG44I. DLL

    C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > AFUWIN i328.rom /pbc

    It should work OK, however no guarantee if there's something else - but essentially - that's what the installer should do.   If this does not work for you - I wouldn't try to force things - you can make a good motherboard unusable quickly.

    For those who are looking to this announcement - the syntax is for this motherboard only - switches may be different for different motherboards.

    Good luck.!

  • Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
    I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

    But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
    It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

    But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

  • Impossible to update BIOS for Satellite M40 - 135 - bios is not ACPI

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello

    First team Toshiba is not here in the forum user to.
    Secondly it can update BIOS victory only running Windows OS-based, it would be best that the use of the Toshiba preinstalled version of Windows in order to run the BIOS update.

    By the way; I found versions of BIOS Toshiba U.S. on page here, you can download the traditional BIOS which can be updated using the diskette.
