BIOS Update 3.05 to 3.08 (Bricked?)

Hey all,
Tried to update BIOS from 3.05 to 3.08, and as it finished installation from the .exe, the system seemed to crash. Now, the computer boots up partially, but never gets to the login screen, windows 8.1 keeps searching for an error but never fixes it, and a system restore didn't work.
This leaves me to believe I screwed up the BIOS. I can get to the BIOS menu, and it does say it is version 3.08 at this point.
What am I to do now? I have not found any information on what steps I should take other  than "I'm screwed" or create a bootable USB to reflash. Even reflash instructions are tough to accurately find.
Thanks!
System: Ideapas Y510P,  Windows 8
Message I get before windows login screen: "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart "
Solved!

Figures this would happen just as I posted.
So I was able to boot up in safe mode, and then after I shut off the computer and booted back up normally, things worked.
I'm treading lightly for now... Any ideas what happened?
I did try resetting bios default settings before though to no avail.

  • Bricked x120e -- failed BIOS update

    Hi,
    I was trying to update the BIOS of my x120e (0596-2RU) from within Windows 7, it got stuck (no progress for more than half an hour), now the notebook is bricked (the screen won't turn on; there's no beeps, just the fan is turned on).
    I believe I followed all the instructions (battery fully charged etc.), but the Customer Support here in Ireland says failed BIOS updates are not covered by warranty (contrary to what some people on these forums say).
    What are my options now?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Recent BIOS Update maybe bricking M93p Tiny systems?

    We've just applied this BIOS update (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS035753) on 4 M93p Tiny machines.
    1 of the machines is getting a blinking cursor at boot up (bricked?)
    3 of the machines can no longer boot to the hard drive.
    In the 3 machines that are not seeing the hard drive to boot, they occasionally show in the BIOS boot order, but when you try to include them in the boot order they disappear.
    Hard drives are a recently Windows 7 64-bit image that worked before BIOS update.
    If we network boot into a PE we can see the hard drive contents.
    Called Lenovo support but got bounced around... any one see any issues like this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you just have a blinking cursor you may be able to do a CMOS reset to get it to a working BIOS. That worked for me. The other ones that just couldn't boot to the hard drive needed to have the board replaced, tho.

  • T61 BIOS update - how serious is the "brick" risk?

    Reading through various posts here, it seems that it is either very easy to update the BIOS, or very easy to "brick" your system
    Are there any known good methods?  Are there any tools that can back up the BIOS and if ncessary restore the BIOS using that backup?
    Are there any "known bad" methods that are almost certain to brick the system?

    You can do a bios update from your harddrive, you just cannot do it when booted into your 64bit windows version. 
    There are other options. You can start the compuuter with a Windows PE (pre-installation envoromennt) Live CD, then run the 32bit program from your harddrive. When you run it from an optical drive you introduce the risk of disc read error, as well as the fact that optical discs are much slower then a HDD.
    I'm preparing to flash a 64bit version at the moment and I'll describe how I'm doing it. Part of this process is to install a backup operating system onto the computer,setup as dual boot. This way if I have any problems like data loss, I can start the computer from a different partition and run disc recovery programs on the main system drive (you sould never try to recover data on the same drive you booted from, so this is something I do with every computer I setup).
    1. Search and download a freeware program ccalled "Parted Magic". It's a partition manager based on a Linux LiveCD and runs without installing anything on your harddrive (runs fully in ram memory). I'm going to skip over the "how to use parted magic because quite frankly, it's so simple that anyone unable to figure it out shouldn't be flashing bios or installing operating systems.
    2. Resize your primary partition to give enough room to install a second operating system. I'm using a custom build of WinXP that only requires about 300mb, but I like to make the second partition large and use it for storage, that way any data loss on partition 2 can be repaired from your main operating system, and if I ever have to reformat my system drive, I can move any data I need to save to my second partition.
    I generally give Win Seven or Vista a min of 20GB, but you can use a smaller partition if you're not going to install a lot of programs. This laptop has an 80GB harddrive and I'm making two 40GB primary partitions.
    *note, if you want to mix WinXP and Windows Vista/Seven, you'll need to either install XP first, or repair the Vista/Seven boot manager that XP will overwrite. It's an easy fix but to keep this simple I'll avoid any unnecessary instructionns.
    After you finish making your second partition formated with NTFS, simply boot your Windows install disc and select the second partition and install.
    You'll now have a second windows version. 
    Assuming you selected a 32bit version, you can use it to run anything that won't run under win x64.
    If you prefer to boot from a WinPE disc, you can download the software you need to make it direct from microsoft. Here is a wikipedia article that will tell you more about this.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Preinstallation_Environment
    You can also do a google search and you'll find many guides on making them. I would recommend you boot a winPE disc and do some exploring of your computer so you get the feel of it, and more important, so you can be sure it's running stabe on your system. You might even be able to run some of those old dos games that windows objects to running, so have some fun and get the feel of it. 
    If you can run even small basic programs from winpe, then you can be pretty sure it's stable enough to flash a bios. The problem with the bios boot disc is you have no oportunity to do anything,  it boots and flashes...  it won't decide "wait a minute, why is my screen flicering and power LEDs flashing, maybe I better figure this out first", it just proceeds forth like a good soilder, obeying orders even if they are fatal.
    I hope this information is helpful, I believe it all to be accurate, but please remember that I'm not recommending you flash your bios, you have to make that decision.

  • HP DV4-1114NR bricked by HP's own bios update help plz and thank you

    Hello friends, I have a HP dv4-1114nr, I downloaded the Bios update from hp and guess what? it bricked the laptop. I have read several forums on how to fix this, i have gotten as far as attempting to restore the bios, renaming the bios and putting it on a flash drive... The windows+ B key is definitely the way to launch recovery, with my bios i am not sure what to rename the file and also is it a requirement that it be on a small usb drive and that it be FAT format only? any help would be greatly appriciated. I have been working on it for weeks now... Thank you and god bless..

    If the HP_TOOLS partition is still on the hard drive, it may contain a copy of the original bios that was replaced by the newer one.
    To recover the bios from the HP_TOOLS partition hold Win+B down while you power up, continue holding Win+B until you hear some beep(s) then let up, it may take some time to recovery and may show no signs of activity or mesaages.
    If Win +B does not work try all 4 arrow keys.
    Usually the bios file name must match the motherboard model number.

  • BIOS Update Bricked Pavilion G6-2040NR

    A BIOS update bricked my wife's laptop.  
    At least, that's the surmise, (cap lock flash and all, I have 30yrs around computers, not a noob) given it hasn't worked since mid-June, and there was an update for it June 17 2014.  
    I've gone through every step on another support page on this same site, http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Que​stions/How-to-use-the-HP-BIOS-update-uefi-utility/​... , but the phoenix tool suggested in step 7 to download doesn't do the job it is supposed to on update file sp66880 to enable me to complete getting a USB stick together capable of recovering the system.
    I cannot for the life of me find an update of this same tool to work in the same manner (beitas solution was posted March 4, 2013; update was 15 months later, it's 22 total months later,  I figure there must be an update).
    I'm through step 6 and just stumped.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    We did try all of that in diagnosing that it's restore BIOS via USB or nothing.  The page I referred to in my original post seems to be my only option at this point.  
    The issue at hand, is: (c/p from http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Que​stions/How-to-use-the-HP-BIOS-update-uefi-utility/​... ), posted by http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/​user-id/1385209 (if I could somehow tag him)
    ]]6. Download and run the HP Notebook System BIOS Update from the HP support drivers page.
    ]]- Now this file will be named sp****.exe. DO NOT RUN THIS FILE ON OTHER PCS... Extract this exe (with winrar, 7zip etc)
    ]]- There you will find the biggest file(by size) in the folder, it can be *.bin, *.ph or whatever. Just find it, DONT DO ]]ANYTHING YET.
    ]]7. Now download the phoenix mod tool from here:

    ]]- Extract it and open the PhoenixTool.exe, open the *.bin file you found in original BIOS.
    ]]- Let it do it's word and keep clicking ok..
    Step 7 is where I am stuck.  The Phoenix Tool available there errors out on trying to open the BIN files.  I've searched for a more recent Phoenix Tool since his post, considering his solution preceeded the most recent BIOS update, but to no avail.  

  • Lenovo G40-70 Bricked by BIOS Update

    Hi all,
    Need help on my Lenovo G40-70 that I've just bought 6 months ago where I accidently bricked the laptop after BIOS update. It seems during the BIOS updating process it when well but after 2nd reboot there's some message on the screen that the BIOS failed to update factory setting and it freeze on the message for quiet sometimes. After a long wait I decided to long press Start button for hard reboot. Then the scary part comes in where it seems the laptop can't longer shows the Lenovo logo & cannot even boot to Windows, just black screen.
    Hope anyone can help me on this and give some advice on what I'm going to do. I would like to tried myself first before ending up with warranty claim since I'm worried I've brick the warranty due to wrong BIOS update procedure....

  • Pavilion dv6235nr bricked by BIOS "update"

    Recently I was working on a dv6235nr, whose BIOS had not been updated since the machine was purchased in 2007.  Naturally, I thought it should be perfectly safe to install the most recent BIOS, version F.2E, dated 12 April 2010.  And it should have been safe.  Until now, I have never, ever, had a single problem with manufacturer-supplied BIOS updates on any other computer, media player, or any device.
    But HP's buggy "update" destroyed my machine.  While the BIOS reflash completed normally, the machine is now completely useless.  Upon powerup, the fan spins, the display remains blank, and there is a pattern of excessively loud beeps through the built-in speakers.
    The pattern of beeps is "one long, two short," which I have read elsewhere might indicate a defective graphics device.  That seems really unlikely, as the machine only has built-in Intel GMA graphics.  Nothing happened to it that should have caused a hardware failure.  I cannot convince myself that the Intel GMA chipset somehow spontaneously failed right after a BIOS update.  The timing is just too suspicious.
    Things I already tried:
    -HP's "hard reset" procedure did nothing.
    -Well, there's really nothing else I can try, since the machine won't even get as far as POST.
    The evidence suggests that HP's defective "update" bricked my machine.  How do I fix it?
    Is there some way to put an older firmware on a USB stick or SD card and re-flash it to BIOS without being able to see anything?

    This appears to be similar to what happened to my S10.  See this post

  • Toshiba support bios update bricked my laptop.

    I flashed my bios on the 2nd May at 7:44pm, prior to this I closed any running programmes etc, I clicked the bios utility that I downloaded from the Toshiba support website, it said it was updating the bios from 2.10 to 2.20, the laptop went to reboot and just died, absolutly inopperable, I push the power button and two clicks comes from the DVD drive and thats it, no HDD activity whatsoever..., I contacted Toshiba and spent £7 on the call only to be told that Toshiba wernt liable for the damage, I googled it and it appears that I am far from an isolated case, infact several other Toshiba customers have experienced the exact same thing, is this a scam by Toshiba to generate extra revenue from suckers like myself who go to their support page and trust Toshiba when downloading utilities from Toshiba, I have now been told that I have to pay £224 for a new motherboard, that is unacceptable, thats like me smashing someones window, knocking their door and charging them £100 to fix it, has any one else had a similar experience or know anyone else who has?

    I have been racking my brain to try to get my girlfriend's P755 running windows 7 to communicate with my XP print server. I came to the Toshiba website and found the BIOS update to 2.7. The issue the update addressed didn't fit the network issue I was having but I figured what the heck it can't hurt,, right? Ha,,, Wrong. I followed the flash instructions to the T and when the PC re-booted wham Windows froze on the splash screen. After calling Toshiba where they tried to relieve me of $50 to assist me since her PC is a couple of months out of warranty I came to the website and found the F2,, F12 ESC instructions, none of which would get me into the BIOS setup screen. I even tried holding down the F2 key as someone mentioned while turning on the power to no avail. So I will share with everyone what I did to get into the BIOS and what I found when I got there. I held down the ESC key before hitting the power button then after the screen flashed once I hit the F2 key and voila I was in. Then when I got to power setting where I had to select allow network to wake PC <enable> <disable> it would not accept either entry and reported both a INVALID. I hit escape and backed out of BIOS and entered again and somehow managed to blow by power setting and set everything to the defaults. Oh one other thing. If you decide to burn the flash program to a CD it will go through the motions and even verify the CD but there isn't anything on it. Is Toshiba that hard up for money that they're trying to scam us or what? I personally own three Toshiba notebooks but the last one I bought may be "the last one I ever buy" if I encounter an issue like this again. Never in 30 years of dealing with PCs have I have a BIOS flash crash on me. What's up Toshiba?!?!?!?!?!?! You put out a bogus update then try to charge people $50 for a three minute fix that ended up taking me three hours? For shame,, for shame.

  • BIOS update resulted in a bricked laptop

    Hi
    I decided to flash the latest BIOS update available for my laptop model (HP envy 15 j028tx) from the HP support site. The exe created a USB drive with the bios update and some other tools (mem check etc in uefi mode). The installation of the BIOS update completed and i was told that upon reboot, it might take a couple minutes with some blinking leds before the display became active but after waiting around half an hour, since nothing was happening (except for the fan spinning), i restarted the laptop manually.
    Since then, i haven't been able to get to BIOS post. The laptop just sits there with the fan spinning, the WiFi led in the off state and the display completely off, the caps lock led cycles once (which is normal behaviour as far as i remember) and the hdd led blinks a couple times and then turns off. The original BIOS was Insyde F.1C and the update version was F.65. I've spent hours trying to figure out a solution but haven't had any success at all.
    - I have tried connecting an external monitor which didn't do anything.
    - I have tried taking the battery out, holding down the power key for 15 to 60 seconds with the power adaptor disconnected and rebooting.
    - I have powered the laptop on while pressing Win+B with the HP_TOOLS USB in various ports.
    I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to resolve this problem, thanks in advance.

    HI , Thank you for your query.  I grasp that after installing a bios update your notebook no longer boot up.   When you power on the notebook you hear the fan spin up and the hard drive light blinks a couple of times but the display remains blank.  The LEDs on the Caps Lock cycles. You have tried to  use the Windows + B to reload the bios to no avail. Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Restoring the BIOS.  Another link that may help is HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting LED Blink Codes or Beep Codes During Startup or Boot If you are still unable to boot up your notebook, I suggest you contact HP support for assistance. Please contact HP support at Contact HP Support  To say thanks for replying please click the thumbs up icon below.If this yielded a resolution please tell people by selecting solution provided.  Best of Luck!

  • W540 brick after BIOS update

    Hi all.
    I have one month old W540. I received a notice on several recommended updates via Lenovo software, among them a BIOS update. Naivly enough, I accepted to install them all. All was installed successfully, but upon restart, my computer hangs with just a black screen.
    When power is pressed, it starts the keyboard light and turns it down. Nothing else.
    I tried draining the BIOS battery by removing battery and power and pressing the power button for 1 minute. No change.
    There are some threads out there that  explain how to use a crisis recovery disk. However, can someone help with BIOS type? I'd also rather try it with older version on BIOS, but I don't know where I can download from?
    I want to try the fix on my own, since I am currently working on a project not near to any service, I'll be here for three weeks more, and I really need my computer.
    Help please!

    I should preface this, that I have not done this with a W540, but with other computers.
    I'm using BIOS 2.10 which as of today appears to the latest.   Dowload the install version from "Update from a Bootable CD".  If you are a geek, you could in theory make a USB booting disk and install that way.
    >  BIOS Update Bootable CD for Windows 8.1 (64-bit), 8 (64-bit), 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad W540
    Then change the BIOS to boot from the DVD/CD Drive (you can immediately hit the clealy labelled <F12> key to start the boot selection menu.
    It might by default go to the DVD drive if it cannot find the HD.  Do make sure your computer is connected to the mains.  Just check the light to make sure you are on AC.
    Follow the on screen directions, or it might start the BIOS update as a default.  When finished, remove the CD, reboot, and you should be good.  In any event,you will have to reset the BIOS to use the default OS drive. It may work without reseting, as normal BIOS check all drives until it finds a bootable device.  If the bootable device is not the primary choice in the BIOS, it will boot, but there will be a delay.  That can clearly be seen on the HD i/o light as the computer seeks.

  • Bricked mobo after Bios Update

    Hey there,
    I am prone to making long stories longer so i'll try and be short.
    Running a I5-2500K on a Z68A-GD65 (Gen 3)
    System been working fine for years then...
    Backstory:
    Bought 2x8GB sticks of Ram (Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz DDR3)
    Chucked them in the machine and worked fine, used it for 2 weeks roughly (Didn't set memory properly so running slower than they should)
    Did a windows update reboot and machine boot cycled, it kept cycling/rebooting or locking up.
    Took a stick out and got it running but sometimes locking with B2 Error.
    Messed about and switching to determine if one or both RAM sticks were funky and needed RMA.
    Did a jumper bios reset and started getting A3 error instead. Found links relating this to my MSI Gfx card regarding power use etc. Recommended action was Bios update/VGA update.
    Got the latest Bios for my Mobo from MSI site: E7681VP8.exe.
    Ran it from Windows on a USB stick, rebooted and flashed, rebooted and died.
    And there I am now. I looked at some threads here but didn't get if they were applicable in my situation. It looked like everything went smooth, it updated BOTH bioses though which kinda defeats the purpose of a Dual Bios backup mode. But anyways, now it cycles every 4 or so seconds.
    Is it possible to resurrect the Bios given these circumstances?
    If I have left any pertinent info out, please let me know and I will include it.
    Regards
    Shik

    B2 is Legacy Option ROM Initialization (that is the Graphics card VBIOS having a problem activating)
    A3 is IDE Enable (Hard drive turning on)
    I suggest you remove all external parts (Hard drives ect) and do another CMOS clear with only one Stick in the machine >>Clear CMOS Guide<<! also if you have the old RAM you where using previously still available try one of them in the machine and see what it does! (sounds like you had a RAM instability that has really messed up the Flash so try your old stuff if you can as you state it was working fine with them and see if there is any change)
    also could you please supply a list of parts in your machine >>Posting Guide<< as what you supplied is vague and things are missing that may be helpful to know!

  • Z68-GD65 G3 Need help with half bricked BIOS update

    Sorry if this should be in the BIOS forum, wasn't 100% sure.  Long story short...
    i2600k
    16GB Corsair Ram
    Crucial M 128GB
    GTX460
    I was trying to update the board to the latest BIOS.  I didn't realize the file/method from the MSI website was so problematic.  I ran E7681vP8.exe from within windows, the BIOS was updated and it then rebooted the system to update to ME8.  It never got to the ME update and I was stuck in an infinite reboot loop.  Power on for 10 seconds, then off, then back on again.  Tried everything I could think of to get the system back.  Cleared CMOS via button and battery, no change.  Rotates ram sticks in slot 2, disconnected everything but USB keyboard and plugged the monitor into the DVI port on the board, no change.  This was last night and I had already setup my RMA when I decided to try one more CMOS clear this morning before packaging everything up.  Well the Gremlins decided to let it power on and POST this morning!  I hit F1 to enter setup and here is the problem...
    It's now asking me to insert my USB key I'm assuming to now do the ME8 update... Well I formatted the USB drive I was using with the forum tool last night in an attempt to revive the board, so I don't have the extracted files from the MSI EXE from the website.
    I downloaded the EXE again, but I can't get it to run/extract the files since it's only set to run on this board (I'm on a Lenovo laptop).  I tried  WinRAR, 7-Zip, and Universal Extractor on the EXE to try and just get the files back on the USB.  None of those work.
    So the system is on and I'm stuck at the screen asking for the USB key.  I don't want to power it off/cycle it in case that screws up the update somehow.
    Can someone else with this board download the EXE directly from MSI, run it on a USB key (you don't have to update the BIOS to get the files to extract) and maybe upload the contents?  Or Mods do you have another suggestion on how to continue?

    Well I'm REALLY regretting upgrading to this BIOS as it's killed my overclock :(
    Before I was stable with a 2600k @ 4.5Ghz with just 1.325 vcore.  Now I'm up to 1.35 vcore and I'm still not stable :(  Keep getting this BSOD:
    "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated interval".
    IBT and prime95 keep causing that BSOD.  I don't understand why the BIOS update is requiring such a huge increase in vcore.
    Because it is a 'compromise' UEFI/BIOS designed to allow function of both Sandy and Ivy CPUs on a mainboard originally designed on the Sandy Bridge platform. It's a shame that the GD65(G3) Ivy update does not function as well as the GD80(G3) vJ21 version does.
