• Equium A110 - 276 BIOS update for Windows 7 32 bit

  "Hello everyone, I'd like to update the BIOS on my satellite A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and ' Windows Vista 32 bit. I have Windows 7 32 bit on this laptop. If I choose "OS Independent" it tells me ' Bios is NOT compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! "and if I choose" Windows Vista 32 bit ' he reads "Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!

  Exclamation points are Toshiba, not me ;)

  So I am stuffed and I need to stay with my current BIOS, or can, I use Windows Vista BIOS update?

  Thanks to anyone who can help!

  Hello

  First question; Why do you update the BIOS?
  Do you want to update only to have a newer version?
  If your Windows 7 is working well, then a BIOS update is not necessary.

  Otherwise, install Vista OS to Toshiba Recovery (if available) disk, the BIOS update and then change to Win 7 ;)

• Pavilion Media Center M8400f Bios Update for Windows 7

  HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f. The Vista operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 (64 bit) a number of years.

  I've updated one of my hard drives with a SanDisk SSD (it is now my main drive with the operating system and all my files on board).

  The bios on the PC has never been updated.

  The SanDisk SSD dashboard software will not recognize the SanDisk SSD as the system has designated the SSD as a SCSI device. I need to access the bios for this change to AHCI. The current bios does not support this.

  The PC has a card mother MCP61PM-HM. There is no update for Windows 7 BIOS for that motherboard I know (updates Vista only).

  　

  SanDisk gave me a link to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-82094-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... that shows a card mother M2P61PM-HM for m8400f desktop PC. This Bios download supports Windows 7 (64 bit).

  Can update the Bios to download safely a card mother M2P61PM-HM for card mother MCP61PM-HM I currently have?

  Hello

  The HP BIOS update link provided SanDisk is an update of the BIOS of your PC. It is listed under Win Vista 64 bit driver downloads here.

  If you look at the site to download the drivers for your PC you'll only see driver support for Win Vista but on 2010-04-08, Version 5.29, 1.47 M BIOS updatedshows support for Win 7.

  But the problem is this: the BIOS updates must be performed using the PC operating system comes with; in your case, Win Vista. Extreme care must be exercised when updating the BIOS under normal circumstances. I would not classify your situation as usual.

  I saw others download an update of the BIOS for their PC and try to install an operating system upgraded with disastrous effects. The PC was bricked.

  Be prepared for the worst case if you try to install the update to the BIOS.

• HP Pavilion A6750Y Bios Update for Windows 7?

  Hello, I bought a HP Pavilion A6750Y years that I have been very satisfied.  I have of course updated from Vista to Windows 7, added a video card and I'd really like to upgrade my cpu.  So far, in the Support & drivers for my computer, it lists still my motherboard as being able to run up to a processor AMD Phenom 9950 x 4. I noticed however if I list my OS as Vista 64-bit, then it does in fact appear a BIOS update that would allow the MOBO to exploit some AM3 cpu. It would still work for my computer running Windows 7, or y at - it an update of the BIOS in preparation for Windows 7, otherwise I would really like to make the request. I want to spend my processor to a Phenom 2 x 4 and need my MOBO to support AM3 processors. Thank you in advance.

  Hello:

  I wouldn't update the BIOS by using Windows 7. There is more than 95% of probability you will make the PC unusable.

  HP will release no updates to the BIOS of windows 7 for your PC.

  If you want to update the BIOS, your only alternative is to install Vista, updated the BIOS and then reinstall W7.

• Qosmio G50 - 12K - BIOS update for support of 8 GB of RAM?

  Hello

  Just, I improved my Qosmio G50 - 12 k to 8 GB of RAM and installed Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. Windows see 8 GB of RAM but can only use 4 GB. I have the BIOS version 2.0.0 I wanted to upgrade to version 2.10 'P0060v210.exe '.
  When I run the BIOS update, I get this massage [error] BIOS update is not supported for operating system. Unsepported OS or service pack installed.

• BIOS update for HPE-450 t

  I received an alert that a BIOS update is available for my registered product, HPE-450 t, who solved a problem with wake up from sleep mode.  I've had this problem since purchasing the product 2 years, incidentally.  I downloaded the upgrade, the file sp49851.exe and follow the instructions.  That installation began, he stopped and pointed out that the BIOS file was invalid or damaged and he said to try again and if still at default contact supports.  I tried also and after many misdirection and confusion decided to try this forum.

  Currently I am in no worse shape than before, I avoid the mode 'sleep' in leaving the cpu all the time.  But I prefer to use "sleep" mode if the update fixes actually it.  No one knows what the problem with this update?

  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit update to SP1, 12 GB of memory.

  It is an update of the BIOS for a different motherboard.  Your system has the card mother iona-gl8e and related BIOS update is for a card mother Μatx-s880 of H - R.

  To make sure that the BIOS Setup has the security check, I tried to install this BIOS on my system.  I received the message that it is the incorrect BIOS for my system, so you should not be able to install the BIOS anyway.  I don't know why you received the notification, but I would like to ignore it (do not install anyway).

  

  Thanks for the update of the community.

• Can't do the BIOS update for Portégé R500 (PPR50E)

  I have a Portege R500 PPR50E with Vista Business pre-installed model. I am wanting to move to Windows 7 and so initially I want to update the BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6. I got the correct file from Toshiba (bios-20080325071859 containing P0058v160.exe), but when I try to run the application, it fails with "this computer is not supported.
  I checked several times that I downloaded the file for the R500.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  That s strange.
  Did you change something on you installed Vista?

  In different cases, the BIOS cannot be updated because some essential tools such as the common modules for Win XP has not been installed.
  If you are using vista you don't need common modules but I recommend reinstalling the VAP.
  Then you should try to rerun the update of the BIOS.

  Otherwise use the recovery disk and computer laptop back to factory settings.
  After the laptop has been set to the same State as on the first day of purchase, you can run the BIOS update.

• Need Win7 BIOS update for Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE)

  Hello

  I can't find the new BIOS update that includes SLIC 2.1 for my Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) table.
  I found "ACPI BIOS Flash version 2.00 for Satellite A215 (PSAFGU/PSAFHU)" (link: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1871687& rpn = PSAFGU & modelFilter = A210-ST1616 & SelCategorie = 2756709 & selFamily = 1073768663), but I'm not sure, which is suitable for my laptop model. It is mentioned in the list of the applicable models A210-ST1616. It is compatible with my laptop Satellite A210 series model for?

  Also I find this link to download BIOS: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=EU. Can be here is the answer to the question of mine?

  People, please help with suggestions?

  Hi eldorado24,

  Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) belongs to the European models because it s listed on the page of Toshiba Europe. This means that the Australian page BIOS update will not work and it s listed for the other models (PSAFGU/PSAFHU). If this update is not done for your laptop.

  On the European (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp) page, you can search for newer BIOS version:

• HP ENVY m6-w103dx: Windows 10 Bios Update HP

  Greetings:

  I bought this sled this past Christmas, but found when I tried to hang on to the work is unfortunately not the 'PRO' Version, it was necessary for the work, I went through the windows and bought this product to change Windows 10-Windows 10 PRO.

  Life was good, I had decided to turn a new page with this one, unlike my last those who were late on their system updates. I had decided to try to keep this a cool with all the updates from HP (& Windows only)

  Fast forward to this week... I have recently recived in my care center a HP update for WOOD F.19ap1 system version, I clicked to have it install and it was running for long periods in the background, I finally had to stop and turn off the computer, thinking that I had seriously underestimated the amount of time needed to complete.

  Today it was available again and I had to run all day, but there nothing else that the State made its installation, but it never gets done.

  My current version running on the computer is F.17 I guess this F.19 is a more recent copy and he might need for improved changes or something, but he doesn't want to just load up.

  my questions may be as... Do I need it, it will help my laptop... If its a copy more old why is still on my update list and give me an exclamation idicating I must download it,... This only could I hurt?

  Thank you: Colin

  Hi Colin,

  The update of the bios you mention (F.19 Rev.A) is the latest version - the enhacement listed by HP's "updates firmware of Intel CPU to improve the stability of the system.

  If you want to install this, try the following method.

  If the update still works in HP Support Assistant, click the Stop button, close HPSA, restart the computer, and then download the update of the Bios from the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp75001-75500/sp75141.exe

  Once the download is complete, close other open windows and programs, then open your download folder and double-click the installer to start the process.  The real flash will occur when you restart the machine - do not interrupt it somehow, even if nothing seems to be happening for a while - when it is finished, the machine will load in Windows as usual.

  Note:  If the update option arises as being 'blocked on this device', you will need to contact HP in this regard.

  Kind regards

• Can I use European 2.1 BIOS update for Satellite A300 PSAGCA?

  Hello

  My toshiba's Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02Y010, bought in September 2008.
  I want BIOS update latest version 2.10 for windows 7, but in the Web of Toshiba-NZ site, I can only find the version 1.9, I find 2.10 for A300 Toshiba Europe, but Europe models are all different from NZ.

  My question is: could I use this BIOS 2.10 europe in my toshiba A300 nz? Thank you.

  Hello

  I would not recommend using a BIOS that is not released for your laptop model.
  There are a lot of different series for laptop on the market.

  You must use the BIOS that is designed exactly for the portable model!
  As you know, the BIOS update is a reasonable process and can damage the ROM chip using BIOS wrong!

• HP ENVY 700-030qe: BIOS updates for my HP desktop computer

  I have a desktop HP ENVY 700-030qe with Windows 8. While looking through the updates of software available for my system, I have seen two listed in the BIOS:

  (1) HP Compaq consumer Desktop PC BIOS for ROM family SSID 2AF3 dated October 2014.

  (2) HP Desktop BIOS update system for PC HP ENVY 700/800/810 with 2AF3 family ROM dated May 2014.

  1. How will I know what family of ROM BIOS I have? I have pictures of all the screens of BIOS that I could get and nothing mentioned family BIOS ROM. I still have the BIOS original version KAI 80.07.

  2. the two updates apply to my computer? The wording is confusing. It seems that only the second apply to my system unless one applies to a more general category of the office. If both apply, as the first is the most recent, which would be the one to use?

  3. There is an issued for the BIOS in June security update that I ran across here. Which does not appear in the update list. Why would that not replace the other? Can I assume that the October update would include this security update?

  Thank you
