Bios is corrupt or missing (error 501)

I downloaded the newest version of the bios. Under system info, it identifies this newest bios as the bios. But the computer shuts down every 30 minutes or so. The computer shuts down. Then it restarts, on its own, and a message comes up, saying "The bios is corrupt or missing (error code 501)." I tried recovering the bios using a press key combination, but it doesn't work. I don't think the computer supports this function. I do have a HP_Tools volume. It has a folder "Hewlett Packard/Bios/Current" with files "68SAD" and "68SAD.sig". The "Previous" folder has the same files. The "New" folder is empty. I've always updated the Bios from the system drive, rather than from an external Flash drive. I don't know if this matters or not. I retried updating the Bios several times, thinking I did something wrong. The computer still keeps shutting down, on its own, while doing things. Then it restarts on its own with the "bios is corrupt or missing" message. I can't turn off the computer without it restarting on its own and coming up with that message. I'm desperate.

Hi @HP-salum
Thank You for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you.
It is my understanding that when you turn on your notebook you are receiving the Bios application 501 is missing or corrupt.
You will need to restore your bios. Here is a link to assist you with that process. Restoring the BIOS
If you are unable to restore the bios using the Windows key plus B method, if you can access the bios by pressing F10 approximately once ever second after pressing the power button to start the notebook to enter the system configuration screen you can try restoring the defaults. There will be an option along the bottom of the screen.
If you are unable to install the HP_Tools on a USB key as instructed in the previous document you can go to the download page for your notebook and look for a bios update which you can download and install on the USB key to recovery your notebook.
Here is a link to Drivers & Downloads where you will need to input your exact model to display a list of software and drivers for your notebook. This is where you can look for a bios update for yours.
Good Luck!

BIOS application error 501

Imaged an EliteBook 8440w with Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. When shutting down from the Start button in Windows, the system shuts down, then goes into a reboot. It then comes up with the "HP BIOS Application Error (501)." I have seen posts about the EFI partition, etc etc but nothing on how to fix the problem from re-occurring. Thanks.

After updating to adobe reader 11.0.3 my registry was corrupted with a gapi32.dll missing error. I

after updating to adobe reader 11.0.3 my registry was corrupted with a gapi32.dll missing error. It was not missing and was conflicting with outlook as this dll file is a common file. The only way I could fix the problem was to do a system restore back to when I had the 11.0.2 version and everything will work with that. You have a problem with version 11.0.3 installation. The same thing happened on 3 computers so I know it is this new version of adobe reader which is the problem.

It would be great, if you could provide us with the following details:
1. The OS you are working on.
2. The version of MS Office installed on your machine.
3. A screenshot of the error message along with the scenario in which the same is displayed.
4. How exactly did you go about updating Reader 11.0.02 to 11.0.03. Was it via the updater mechanism or by downloading the patch from the Adobe site.
Also, it would be great if you could let us know if there was any other Windows or Antivirus related updates applied on your machine in the same timeframe as the Reader update.

Error Cab1 file is corrupt or missing in Reader 8.1

I've tried installing Reader 8.1 on two different machines and keep getting the same error message about the Cab1 file being corrupt or missing.
Its not missing but it is most definitely corrupted. Ive DL'd the darn thing 5 different times, all with the same results. It worked a few weeks ago on a very old Compaq (300MHz PII, 176MB RAM, Windows 2000 SP4). Now this week it wont install on a Gateway (900MHz AMD Athlon, 512 MB RAM, WinXP Pro SP2) or a Dell (1.5 GHz P4, 1GB RAM, WinXP Pro SP2). Doesn't make any sense to me.

Ok. I located the folder in the folders panel and found it was in red, not white. I clicked on it and went to library but the synchronize option was grayed out so I'm kind of stuck at this point. Thanks for your help.

Satellite P205D-S7802: CD/DVD drive issue; driver corrupted or missing

Hi,
Dvd unit has not recognized by the OS.
When i open My Computer the only unit displayed is C, there's no D unit.
Then I go to device manager to check it, and I notice that the DVD unit has problems, then i open properties and the error message is:
"HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GSAT20N ATA DEVICE
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing".
First i thought that was a hardware problem, but I introduced the windows vista disc at boot and the unit read it very well. Then I choose update driver from device manager and the updater told me that the best driver was already installed for the device.
I tried to replace the .sys and .info files for cd-roms but nothing happened either.
What is happening, please help, is urgent i need to use my dvd unit.
Regards.

Try this:
remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager list
access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Windows To Go windows/system32/Winload.exe corrupt or missing

I have a windows to go hard drive and an error came up recently saying "windows/system32/winload.exe corrupt or missing". I made a recovery drive from normal windows 8 but it cant detect the windows to go hard drive (I think its because its only
looking to internal hard drives). any help would be appreciated. thanks
EDIT:: it should say winload in the title

Hi!
My name is Long.
I've got the same issue like you and resolved that without repartition and reinstall window to to.
I will so you step by step what i did to resolve the error with winload.exe corrupt or missing. I hove that will help you resolve your problem too.
As you known: Window to go run in a external harddrive with 2 partitions. The first Partition have 350 MB (FAT32, active partition and it contain boot files). The second partition have remaining space (contain window files).
The first you need a computer have a working window 7 or 8 OS(recommend window 8 or highter)
Plug your window to go hard drive to the window.
Assign the first partition 350 MB by disk manager with letter Z: (normally the fist partition 350 MB is not mounted)
Assign the second (contain windows files) with letter O:
Delete all file in the partition Z:
Open CMD and do the command.
O:\windows\system32\bcdboot O:\windows /f ALL /s Z:
Restart and boot to window to go.
If you want to know why i did that, read below:
(External Hard Drive = EHD)
i found a lot of the suggests in the internet and did that.
- I had try to replace the winload.exe file in the second partition but it not effect.
- I replace the registry data in folder \windows\system32\config but it not effect.
- I did some commands found in the internet but not effect too. (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/1b2045b9-7fef-47f0-aea3-1e185fb7544c/fix-winloadexe-is-missing-or-corrupt-no-its-not)
- System repair not work with EHD.
After i did all the ways found in the internet, i think that, the problem is not due to winload.exe file.
I read the tips to install window togo again and i try to reinstall the window to go without repartition.
The install have 2 steps:
- 1: Partition and set active.
- 2: Copy file and make boot
I ignor the first step because my EHD have got 2 partitons like the tips.
I delete all file and folder relate to window except my pertional data (in the 2nd partition).
I extract install.wim file and copy all to the 2nd partition. I restart and boot to EHD but it still got error.
I'm used Bootice and check the MBR of EHD and i got unknown MBR. I think the the problem.
So I used Bootice software, set MBR of EHD = Windows NT 6.x. and I
Set PBR to 2 partitions are BOOTMGR boot record (FAT32/NTFS/ExFAT). I restart and boot to EHD but it still got error.
Next, I delete all file in 1st partition of EHD.
I Open CMD and do the command
"o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s z:"
after that, i restart and boot to EHD and it worked. The window to go work perfect but i lost all settings :)
So i think the 2nd partition and all files is ok. The problem is by the 1st partition.

Windows 2012 Domain Controller: Failed to open the runspace pool. The Server Manager WinRM plug-in might be corrupted or missing

Hi all,
We have been battling a problem for the last couple of days when we try to add the first windows server 2012 DC to an already existing Domain.
The Server installation goes smoothly and we can add the computer to the domain and its all green.
After we promote the server to a domain controller the WinRM service starts acting up (not responding anymore).
The server manager console shows Remote Management as disabled, and when we try to enable it via the console or Powershell it freezes up.
The AD DS part of the console is saying that there are post-promotion tasks that need to be completed but once we click on the task it takes us to the promotion wizard again, that basically complains that: Failed to open the runspace pool. The Server Manager
WinRM plug-in might be corrupted or missing.
In the Remote Management Event log we see the following entry: "The client got a timeout from the network layer (ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT)" Event ID 138
We are unable to do anything with the server (demote, add roles, remotely manage...). We tryed the following already:
1. Recreate from scratch
2. Checking the GPOs to see if there is anything setup about RM -> came up with nothing
We just ran out of ideas so HELP PLEASE !

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

For anyone else who encounters this post, if you're synchronizing your device to an Exchange 2007 server, please try placing a new email in your exchange Inbox to see if that corrects the problem. This error is commonly encountered after a device synchronizes data using a synchronization application other than MfE.
If placing a new item in your Exchange Inbox doesn't work, please power off, then on your device, select MfE > Options > Full resync to synchronize your data.
