BIOS update and RIAD settings

Will updating the BIOS on my 925X Neo change/erase/alter my current RAID settings? I'm in a RAID mirror setting now. I'd like to update the BIOS as long as doing so won't change any of the settings I have now. Thanks for you help!

Is your RAID Intel ICH6's RAID or external embedded RAID? If it's embedded RAID, no it will not change. If it's Intel ICH6 RAID, all you need to do is to make sure it's enabled n the BIOS (same as embedded RAID), and then go to the RAID setup again to restore your RAID settings if necessary.
In other words, flashing BIOS will not change your RAID settings as long as you put back your settings back.

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

I recently installed a bios update and now I can't locate the built-in webcam on my 210-2190 laptop

After installing a recent BIOS update, the search and webcam disappeared from the start menu. I got the search function fixed, but I can't locate the webcam sofware. How do I turn the software back on?

Bios updated and now K8N Neo won't boot? FIXED!

Successfully restored from backup (after some hassles!), but thanks to everyone who helped.
Having messed with the bios some more, I *think* I now know what the problem was. And *blush*, I think it was my fault all along *blush*.
I think I had one of the drives selected at the top in Hard Disk Boot sequence, instead of the SCSI - Raid Array.
That would mean it was only reading half the MBR at boot time which would kindof explain the problems I was having.
Still, we live and learn. Thank God for backups!
Cheers all

I hope someone can please help me?
I just upgraded my K8N Neo2 bios from 1.4b to Easybios 1.3c (or whatever its called).
I took all the proper precautions and the bios update itself has worked just fine. My system is "working" OK.
However, I can't boot. The system POSTs fine, detects the raid0 array just fine and then falls over with an MBR 1 error and an MBR 3 error.
I booted from the XP install CD and loaded up recovery console, and I can log on to the array. The array and all data is fine.
So it looks like its just the MBR record that is screwed. Is this because of some incompatibiliy between my old and new bios?
And anyway, please does anyone know how to fix it? I suppose I can try to rebuild the MBR somehow, but I don't know how. And I really DO NOT want to risk losing all of the data on the array. Yes, I have a full back up, but I don't want to end up having to rely on it!
Has anyone seen this problem before when doing a bios update? And any ideas how to fix it?
(I guess I could flash back to 1.4b, but I really would like a later bios version to go with my new - as yet untested - Opty 146).
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, Doc. But I have entered the bios settings from scratch.
I can try it again, but why do you think that might work? There really aren't two many sata and raid settings to make - all you have to do is enable the two channels (sata3 and sata3) and then enable them also in the raid menu. That's it. And the board "sees" the raid array just fine, its just it won't boot anymore. I can read and write to the array no problem from Windows Recovery Console, so I conclude that the hardware is all working properly. I think its an MBR incompatibility issue between the two bios versions... or maybe MBR corruption.
I seem to remember some people having problems with this a year or so ago when upgrade this bios from 1.4 to 1.5. Some people were having to do complete Windows reinstalls to fix it. That was why I didn't update my bios sooner.
But I asked around this time and it seemed those problems had been resolved.
Seems I was mistaken!
Any other thoughts / suggestions?
Thanks

BIOS Update and now fan is running constantly

I got a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC last week and have just been prompted to install a BIOS update. When it was installing the update the fans turned on and were deafening.
It's installed the update, restarted itself a few times, etc.
However the fan is now running constantly and is extremely annoying. It's not blasting out by any means and is probably nowhere near how quick and loud it could be. But this is a brand new laptop and the fan shouldn't be running - all I'm doing is browsing the internet.
What has this update done and how can I turn the fan off (I presume it will turn itself on when the heat inside the laptop requires it).
Cheers

Bios update and nothing happens

Hello all
I just brought a MSI GP70 02PE laptop. I decided to update the bios and I did. No problems at all. However, after update, when I turn on the laptop, nothing happens. The screen wont turn on and the power buttion is orange. I can hear it starts up, but nothing happens. Am I or is there a reason why it does what it?? Can I somehow undo the bios update?
Regards, HeramirDK

Quote from: JakeSully;111917
it would be better if you open laptop disconnect battery and hold power button in for aprox 30 seconds to 1 min that should kill power fully in motherboard and have BIOS reseted or something so it will make laptop boot again
Also make sure you did not flash the windows 7 bios on a windows 8.1 GS70 2PE since it even warns you on their site that cross flashing can cause you to brick the laptop so make sure you flashed Windows 8.1 bios on a windows 8.1 laptop and windows 7 bios on a windows 7 laptop
Just tried that, doesnt work. And I did use the 8.1 bios . But ill let it be over the night and will check tomorrow . Is there a battery inside the laptop I can take out?? Or is that a suicide mission??

SATELLITE A105-S4074 BIOS UPDATED AND NOW DONT BOOT!

Hi,
I just have updated my old A105-S4074, with the lastest bios update available ACPI Flash BIOS version 6.00 for Tecra A7 (Intel) (PTA70U) and now is not even showing the post screen to enter to the BIOS
I flashed it using the cdrom way, and everything worked fine and finish sucesfully, but just when it restarted i got black screen!
The fan start,cdrom, but no hd light... just that and no video.
I tryied removing battery and ac, presing the power button for 30 sec, etc, and is just not working.
Any idea?
Thanks you in advance!
Regards

It's bad news that you may have corrupted your BIOS, even though you used the boot CD update method.
Regardless, you can try all these steps first:
Computer will not turn on
If nothing above works, see these intructions, and try to work your way through them for your make of BIOS. The BIOS.ROM file they mention, should be on your BIOS update CD.

Good luck.

Motherboard and processor, BIOS update and board capability

Hi there,This is my 2nd topic for same problem. I didn't get an answer which is not enough. So this is the problem.
I have issue about updating processor. This is my PC
HP Pro 3010 Microtower PC
Model #: WB636ES
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 5.11, 29.09.2009
Motherboard:
Pegatron Corporation
Model: 2A94h
Brand: American Megatrends Inc.
I'd tried to update my processor with these;
Intel® Pentium® Processor E6500 (2M Cache, 2.93 GHz, 1066 FSB)
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q8200 (4M Cache, 2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
Intel® Pentium® Processor E6700 (2M Cache, 3.20 GHz, 1066 FSB)
For my investigation they are compatible with my motherboard. I found a website which motherboards specs are listed. http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/pegatron-2a94h-motherboard-specs-3272011h24/As you can see Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield), Pentium Dual Core, Core 2 Duo (Kentsfield) are supported. But when everytime i try any processor, PC is not booted and no vision on my monitor and motherboard gives LONG 9 or 10 More beeps. So i go on with my Intel E5300 processor which is default one.
I had tried everything but there maybe only solution is updating BIOS. I'm not sure about it. So i ask you?
My board BIOS version is 5.11. In HP site when i enter my model number, 5.17 version BIOS update appears to download. I am scared to update BIOS. Is there any option there to make work new processor properly? Do i have to update my BIOS? Meanwhile all of Core2 Quad processors have 4MB, 6MB, 8MB, 12MB cache. If everthings gonna fine, these processors work normal? (It seems that my motherboard supports 2MB cache, i guess or read it somewhere) Best Regards

Hi, Your question was asked and answered. Only the processors that HP listed listed for your PC will have the best possibility of working in your PC. Please stay on your original thread.

Z87M Gaming Mobo - BIOS Update and now won't post

Hello all...
Firstly I have had a read through the messages here and it is looking like I may have damaged the board by attempting a BIOS update using the update tool in the BIOS!?
Anyhow here is what happened......
I setup my system below and everything was booting happily with no problems at all.
I could not seem to get my SSD to be recognised by the mobo (windows install could see the SSD but could not install OS as mobo controller did not recognise it). I downloaded the 1.2 version of the mobo BIOS, extracted this to USB drive and used the update feature in the BIOS to flash.
I selected the option for BIOS and Management Engine and the BIOS upgrade reported successfully flashed. The PC re-stared successfully a couple of times but on 1 boot it said it was updating or flashing the Management Engine, a percentage bar completed and that was the last time the PC booted successfully.
I have tried clearing the CMOS using the CMOS clear button and the CMOS jumper but this has made no difference.
The power is there and the PC switches on but it wont post and is showing nothing on the debug LED's.
I have tried removing all components but same outcome.
The PSU is brand new and the fact that everything was working fine before the flash update (including the Gskill RAM btw) I feel the flash has caused this.
However, I would very much appreciate some advice from some experienced MSI mobo users
Thanks

Quote from: Svet on 26-May-14, 20:53:16
remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< again
then try to boot with barabone setup
I did try this with just the board and nothing, no post at all :(

Helix bios update and firmware issue

Hello. I recently had an issue - my keyboard dock stopped working entirely and I had the fan issue. I installed the firmware update and also updated my bios - with success, the keyboard dock now works.,
The first time I restarted my Helix 3xxx series.... it didn't work.
The issue I received is on windows 8.1. I loaded, logged in... and received a black screen. The cursor was there, and I could do CTRL-ALT-DEL, but nothing else loaded.
I looked it up, and previous lenovo laptops had this issue when upgraded to 8.1 - black screen, cursor, nothing else.
The issue with those laptops was with an AMD display driver - but I do not possess said driver. After going through their solutions many times, nothing works. I can run it in safe mode with networking, but trying to run standard is without fail. I updated my display drivers with no luck.
I don't know what caused it besides the apparent bios/firemare update. I do not know what else to try.
I can't even do a system restore because I dont have a USB drive to do it with.

F.23 is F.23 despite the discrepancy in the release dates. You have the latest BIOS.

System sounds (alarms), Bios update and Linux

Hello
Sory for my very bad English
I have a Lenovo 3000 G530, under Linux (Mandriva 2010 X86_64), and it works fine. My only "problem" is the system sound of charge battery (beep when plug/unplug adapter).... It's not a minor problem : there are many circumstances where we want to be silent .... and these sounds are horrible.
One issue to resolve this problem is to correct it in the Bios settings. But in my Bios, no options for that. On the other hand, I've found an update Bios (http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_1350.html#) 0CCN52WW version (I actualy use 0CCN48WW).
So
1 Can somebody tell me if the 0CCN52WW Biosmakes possible to disable system sounds alarms ? Before flashing Bios, I want to be sure this will solve the problem ...
2 This Bios can create other problems ?
3 Is there a method to flash without using Windows (creating bootable CD) ?
Thank you
YL

Satellite L840 - BIOS update and blue screen

Hello,
I recently bought a Toshiba L840-04E (PSK8LA- O4E007) and installed Windows 7 64bit.
Issue: BlueScreen
Question: I assume this is the dreaded "blue screen of death" and I need to do something to prevent servious problems in the future (I've used the laptop lightly for a couple of days with no issues).
How do I analyze the dump information to find out what caused the blue screen?
Or is it best to go back to the last restore point before the blue screen event? A restore point was made before I updated the BIOS from v 1.80 to 6.20. Also, Toshiba shows that there is a new BIOS 6.30 version.
Before the blue screen event I had changed the setting for the on/off button to "shut down" and made a few minor other changes to settings and then just before the blue screen error I plugged in a Seagate External Hard Drive.
Are there any suggestions about what steps I should take?
Thanks so much.
April

Hi
Generally the BSOD appears due to serious software problem or hardware problem.
You said you connected an external USB HDD to the notebook right before the BSOD appeared so probably the BSOD was caused by the attached HDD who knows
If this happened for the first time, dont be afraid it could be just a temporal problem
But if it would appear often, you should investigate a little bit and should try to replicate the issue and the reason for that

Compaq Presario 1714EA (Laptop) (BIOS Update and/or Wake-on-Lan)

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if there is a way to update the BIOS on that Laptop or a way to make Wake-on-Lan work on this Laptop? Thank You

I'm fairly certain that there is not. HP locks out certain features from the BIOS, and there isn't much you can do to get them back.
Though I am an HP employee, I am not here as a representative for them. I am here of my own accord to help those requesting it.
Please demonstrate any appreciation for help with a kudos!
