• Update the BIOS - protected A600 problem

  I'm trying to update my BIOS settings on my laptop (that I was invited to do by the service of Toshiba hardware update).

  I followed all the instructions provided by the program because it extracted and ran the update. However, the computer began the reboot process, but has been 'disconnected' windows (Vista Business) for about an hour now. I don't know how to stop the process without causing serious damage to my BIOS, but this does not seem normal.

  Help, please!

  Hi wilreb...

  I think that the user henharas a bad experience with the BIOS updates.
  I updated the BIOS many times and never had any problems...

  I assume you mean on Tempro software... this software informs you about updates on the Toshiba page. It is not a recommendation for an update, but simply an alert that new updates has been published...

  If your laptop is running properly, then update the BIOS is not really necessary...
  You must follow these tips; never change a running system ;)

  In any case, after the update of the BIOS shouldn't take too long and if she has completed, you should see the new version in the BIOS settings...

• 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 to F1 problem. C the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook (QJ785AV #ABA) running Win7 (64)

  To try to resolve some problems, that I pointed out, HP (by e-mail) Technical Support told me to update my bios and provided a link to do this. Utility Wizard help indicated 1F. B has been installed; the description accompanying the linked file is 1F.C.

  I downloaded the file, closed other programs, then run the file using administrator mode. After a few moments, the PC restarted. When I checked then the theaters help, there still reported that 1F. B has been installed. I ran the executable file again and seen on screen for messages. There is no error message. The system restarted, however the Assistant to help still reports it as 1F.B.

  I don't know if it's important but: Although this update of the Bios on the support page of the HP web site for my computer model, it does not appear as an action item when executing Tune Up from HP.

  Should what steps I take in order to successfully install the newer version of the Bios?

  [Since this is an obvious question, let me say: I have reported what happened to the HP support (by e-mail).] In their next response, there was no follow-up on this point. In my next response, I asked specifically this update failure, but their response has completely ignored the problem.]

  This is the link of BIOS that you use correct: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-115758-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5171043&sw_lang=

  If so, try the device, then execution of the BIOS updated new cyclical food.  Cycle of power, just remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC and let rest for a minute, then reinsert the battery and the AC adapter / CC and turn on.

• Satellite L40 - 14 d: can't update the BIOS

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite L40 - 14 d.
  Two months ago, I Flash my BIOS to version 5.40 successfully. But now, if I run updatebios.bat (5.50), the system will reboot, but after 1 second laptop each stop. We did update the BIOS. I tried many version of BIOS for my laptop, but without success.

  I have Windows XP installed.
  PS: sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Czech Republic.
  Thanks for any response.

  Hello

  First of all I ve an interesting question;
  Why do you want to update the BIOS? Various problems with the laptop?
  Usually if the laptop run without problem then a BIOS update is not necessary

  However, I downloaded the BIOS and first firs winflash.exe file package, I noticed!

  First you must uncompress the BIOS correctly.
  Then prepare the laptop for the update (AC adapter connected, don t run 3rd party applications and disconnect all external devices).
  Finally, you must run the winflash.exe to start the update of the BIOS and NOT the .bat file!

  Good bye

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• Is Tecra S5 - useful to update the BIOS?

  Recently, I bought a laptop Tecra S5 and yesterday I noticed an update of the BIOS on the Toshiba site.

  I googled a lot searched this forum and found a lot of discussion about people having problems after updating (flashing) the BIOS. So I want to ask you if the update worth it, and if someone with an S5 did. Could someone also tell me if there is a way to ensure that you can roll back previous BIOS version after that an update does not?

  The laptop is precious to me and since living in this time of financial crisis means that I won't be able to buy a new one if I screw this up I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

  EDIT: I forgot to mention that I installed Vista 64 due to having 4 GB of RAM.

  Hello

  First a BIOS update is not required if your laptops gently. Never touch a running system ;)
  A BIOS update is only recommended if you have any problem with him, for the memory vivid example not properly recognized or so.

  I only updated the BIOS of my laptop if I have problems with it, and that means that I have updated the BIOS on my Toshiba notebooks 3 times yet. I m not a Tecra S5 owner but I never had a problem with the BIOS updates. Some people who said that the update of the BIOS didn't forgot to read some instructions how to do this:
  Before you start an update of the BIOS, you must close all running programs and close all background processes that you don't need. Also your antivirus and firewall should be disabled and must be signed in as an administrator. Don t forget to connect the AC/DC adapter, before start you.
  If you follow these tips, normally the BIOS update must be done successfully.

  A BIOS to a previous version downgrade is possible that anuthroized service provider. This means that you can downgrade it yourself.
  But the newer versions are pre-tested Toshiba and should not cause more problems as before. Newer versions of BIOS problems.

  I hope I could help a bit! :)

• Update the BIOS for HP Pavilion M9400f

  PC desktop, HP Pavilion Elite 9400F

  Windows 7 64-bit.

  Error message: Incorrect for your system (253) Bios please contact support.

  I use the bios upgrade HP site says to download for my PC, but the upgrade works only with a card mother M2P61PM-HM.

  Mine has a motherboard M2n68-(NARRA3) and the latest bios for this motherboard does not support Windows 7 and is abandoned.

  My system black screen constantly when out of mode 'sleep' and upgrade the bios addresses that issue.

  Try to use the BIOS Nettle3 update on the card mother Narra3 will cause problems. Most of the time that BIOS HP update routines is written for a specific operating system and will not install on other operating systems.

  Make sure you use the update of the correct M2N68LA BIOS for your motherboard Narra3, several different versions of the M2N68LA were made (narrated, Narra3, etc.)

  Please put back the computer it's original Vista OS to install the M2N68LA (Narra3) update of the BIOS. After you install the update, you can return the system to Windows 7. Make it easy and not lose all personal data, disconnect your Windows 7 drive and a blank disc. Using the recovery DVD, install Vista. Update the BIOS. Disconnect the Vista disc, and then reconnect the player to Windows 7. You should be good to go.

• HP Omen: update the BIOS

  HP support assistant shows that there is the following update:

  HP notebook System BIOS update
  Number SoftPaq SP74378
  version F.34Ap1

  tried to download and install without success

  should I worry?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  No, no need to worry.

  Updated the BIOS/UEFI is not a critical task and I would say that you leave like this for now.

  General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but can introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

  Update/update IF you have any specific questions that you know have been fixed in the new version or for some serious security issues. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

  See you soon!

• Satellite M60 - cannot access the HARD disk but update the BIOS

  Hello

  I want to update the bios on a Satellite M60
  the problem is that I can't access either on my hard drive it still reboot

  So, first I want to try to update my Bios but as I can't work with windos XP I need to do it with a Dos command.

  is there any solution for this?

  Thank you very much

  and why you want to update the BIOS?

  Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should work well and should start the Windows operating system.
  This means that the problem with your laptop is unrelated to the old version of the BIOS.

  Have you tried to check the HARD drive or to reinstall Win XP?

• 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 ;)
