XPS a BIOS update 27

Hello

With a new XPS One 27 (Win Pro 8 with 32 GB SSD as additional cache) on the way, I read about the difficulties faced by others when alerted by auto-update to update their BIOS.

See for example: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/19476076/20228940.aspx#20228940

(and, http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/4677/t/19482877.aspx and http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/19476341/20230367.aspx).

It seems that the updates to the BIOS (09, 10) detect the previous BIOS settings and save these courses to update?

Does this mean that if alerted to put up-to-date and update BIOS 10 is used (if all goes well compatible with the tag) it should correctly save the old setting (RAID?) and updated OK?

Otherwise, is there a way course and efficient to update the BIOS on this computer appears alert to update? Recommend Dell support?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi saratogacoach,

(1) should I update the BIOS to A10 before or after creating the recovery discs?

You can do two ways.

(2) Furthermore, should I apply any other Windows updates before or after creating the recovery discs (a few posts on this forum say that they were unable to create recovery disks until after they apply the updates, including the update of the recovery utility Dell.)

You can install updates to Windows and applications such as Dell backup and restore. Once done, can create a recovery media for your computer.

Just reply in case you have any other questions.

  • Clocked at 20 degrees warmer since putting on 3.87 Rev A Bios Update on Z420 Workstation

    I have a question:

    Not too long ago I put the Bios Update on A Rev 3.87 was considered to be as critical an update on my workstation Z420 (running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit), and lately I've found that the CPU idling at about 20 degrees more hot than before.  I used to hear creaking noises coming from the computer I learned normally come circuits on the motherboard power delivery, but as long as I heard those CPU would be on average around 50 degrees C at idle.  I hear these noises and now the CPU is on average around 70-75 degrees C at idle.  Not sure what the connection is.  HP performance Advisor tells me I'm in the normal range, but I want to just make sure that with programs like Autodesk Maya there, she become too hot and stop the machine.   I don't know what the temp high-end is considered maximum security.  This change could have due to the update of the Bios?

    Thank you for your response and suggestions.  I check in my BIOS power management settings has been developed the extended mode, but the temperature has always hovered around 70-78 degrees at idle.  I checked Intel spec for this (E5 - 1650 6-core xeon) processor, clocked at 3.2 Ghz by heart, and although he said nothing on the TMax, he mentioned that the TCase (which he defined as the maximum temperature allowed integrated processor heat sink (IHS)) was 64 degrees Celsius.  Now my temperature of the case, according to my HP Performance Advisor version 1.7.7517.0 is only about 24 degrees C, but I put my fan a little higher CPU, about 2009 rpm speed.  This makes a little more noise, but my CPU temp has dropped to about 49 °.  "" Before the change of the fan speed has been slightly more than 1300 RPM while the Advisor I have always said that it is in the range "normal".  Is it good to get the speed of the CPU fan like that or do I have to go a little lower?

  • Satellite X 200-20 s - LAN does not work after BIOS update

    Hi all

    I've updated the BIOS version 2.7 and NIC LAN just disappeared from my list of device. The wireless network card works fine however. When I plug the ethernet cable, the green light turns orange not, so I guess that it is not broken, as it worked fine before the BIOS update.

    I tried different drivers lan Windows XP and still nothing. Any ideas please?

    I have Windows 7 x 64 installed.

    LAN option is listed in the BIOS boot menu?

    If you have tested with Win7 and WXP maybe you should do finally test and install recovery image original Toshiba that you got with your laptop and see what happen when you use the laptop with the factory settings.

    I tried to update the BIOS to my M700-110 PPM70E-02302DEN from 1.60 to 1.80 (P005Bv180.exe).

    However, it fails with the error "the BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack installed. »

    What BIOS is right for my system?

    Please help me!
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    It seems that the OS Vista was preinstalled on this laptop.
    This means that you have installed the Windows 7 system to your own hand.

    The point is that BIOS update requires a few essential tools of Toshiba.
    For example, the package of value added is an important software package and must be preinstalled on the laptop.

    VAP is installed?
    If this isn't the case, install the PPV before trying to update the BIOS.

  • BIOS update failed on Tecra R10 with Windows7

    Hello

    I have problems with the update the BIOS of my Tecra R10J. The current version is 1.4, and I want to upgrade to 3.0, so I downloaded from the Toshiba web site the good file named "P006Cv300.exe" 2009-11-04 released. It is an update of the BIOS online in a real session of Windows 7. Simply right click the compress exe, click Run as admin and that is all, but... for me, he said:
    * "[Error] the start of the service was abandoned. The user doesn't have administrative privileges. "

    See below:
    http://perso.Orange.fr/100Mo/bioserror.jpg

    I tried with:
    -closed AV, firewall, etc...
    -turn off UAC
    -Run as administrator
    -Tried with another admin account
    -Safe mode (update of the bios doesn't support safe mode)
    -lead the local administrator session

    No change. Always the message "user lacks administrative privileges."
    Need help please, found nothing on Google (similar but not resolved Bios problem!)

    Thank you

    Hey ignore them,

    As Akuma has already written the added value Package must be installed for BIOS update for the BIOS to read system information correctly. Besides, the VAP is needed for special functions such as the FN keys so it must be installed.

    It would be interesting to know what is happening with the factory settings. I guess that your computer laptop wasn t ship with Windows 7, but with Vista and you should try it with Vista.

    Your described method does not apply to Toshiba laptops.
    Each computer laptop manufacturers supports various BIOS update procedures

    Here you can download the latest version of the BIOS for Tecra 8100

  • irreversible bios update made noisy fan (8710p, 8710w, 8510p, 8510w, fan, F.20, F.0E)

    Hey.

    I just want to share my experience with the update of the bios on my computer hp 8710w laptop and talk to HP support. I've updated F.0E to F.20 and after that this fan went wild. In windows 7 it works very well every boots 2 / 3, or more. All fans of time runs fast, no matter what the system load and temperature are. What makes the portable noisy.

    I used to use linux and it just fan slow down after spinning up to cool the system. It is really something that you want to have, because it becomes a noisy vacuum cleaner with an excellent machine and quiet.

    I have enough evidence to assume that the problem was caused by the update of the bios. First of all, it started exactly after the bios update when nothing else has been changed. Secondly, 5 years ago I had a very similar laptop (8710p) and when I have updated the bios to F.0F, it's the same thing, but I fortunately downgraded the bios and everything was back to normal. In addition, reported others on the internet and these discussion forums.

    Now with the update of F.20... There is no way to downgrade. It's embarrassing: HP has released a update this feature breaks... and there is no way back (except the replacement of the card system, which is expensive for laptops out of warranty).

    I was the cat and then talk on the phone with HP support. They are not really very close to professional. First, they said that my windows 7 is not officially supported and should I install xp or vista. I have xp installed specially for them, and which consumes a lot of time. Of course, nothing has changed. And they actually all drivers for windows 7...

    The best advice of hp support has been trying to install all previous versions of the bios. I reported a failure on each one, then only, they found in the description of the version F.20 could not be downgraded. After reading the forums here for 15 minutes, I knew much more technical support on my laptop and the question, lol.

    After talking with me for a time very long (like 3 or 4 hours) and say that I try to restart my machine, or start with the Windows key + b, etc., they said that my laptop is out of warranty, and there is nothing that they can help me with.

    I confess that the laptop is out of warranty... but only suffers from the update of the official firmware that cannot be downgraded. Yes, I know I'm supposed to buy a new replacement HP laptop. But... This look bad.

    Now, I'll get a replacement bios chip, programmed with the previous version of the bios and soldered to the motherboard...

    Hello to the guys at HP support. They are nice people who try to be useful, they don't know anything about their products :-)

    Hello programmers to the HP bios... Please... Please be better, please learn that bugs can be corrected.

    Problem solved! :-D

    I downgraded to F.0E

  • Satellite S500-10F - slowed down and need BIOS update

    Hello, I would like to know if anyone can help.

    I work for a Borough Council IT Department, so it is quite safe to say that I know a fair bit on THIS and the side material things. We had an about 12 laptops Toshiba Satellite S500 delivered, 11 x S500 - 11 c and 1 x S500-10F. As we do not yet support windows 7 so he must rebuild in Windows XP, install the drivers etc, and send them to schools.

    All S500 - 11 c were built and work without any problem at all. The only difference I see is that the model 10F doesn't have bluetooth so that the model 11 c. Model 10F take image ghost, created from the 11 c, but he likes to be restart every 5 minutes approximately and is extremely slow.

    So I rebuilt the model 10F using our licenses CD XP SP3 Microsoft and started to install drivers etc. When I installed the software of card reader Ricoh the laptop again slowed down (about 5 minutes to start Windows). I used to have a similar problem with a model on the A300 range and I've updated the BIOS which cured the problem. I downloaded the one and only BIOS update on the Toshiba site for the S500 and when I want intsaller, he returned with a message that says "this computer is is not supported.

    If someone at Toshiba can tell me where I can get an update of the BIOS that works for my S500-10F or indeed why my system slowed down to a snails pace after having installed the Ricoh card reader software I would be very grateful. I removed the software and now and disabled without success card reader devices.

    Thank you very much

    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 ;)
