Qosmio F50-10k belongs to the PQF55E series.
If you want to update the BIOS you will have to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.
The Toshiba European driver page provides BIOS for Vista 32bit and 64bit OS.
But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XP
I think you can use the Win XP but fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not for XP
The BIOS update should work also using XP but in some very rare cases the update could not be performed and in such case you will need the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS

  • Bios update questions for KT4V

    Hey, I updated my bios and I have been having trouble getting my mainboard to work properly.  I found out that I had to clear my cmos after updating the bios (I didn't see anything about doing that in the bios setup area).  
    So I cleared the cmos, and I still have to detach the monitor from the video card for the computer to startup.  
    Another thing I have a question about is that when I startup the computer, it says that I have a 1250 processor, when I have a 2000+ processor.  I adjusted the fsb speed to 133 (although I could have done something else?), and that "fixed" the problem, but after I turned off the computer it wouldn't turn back on again (four red lights in back, no matter what).  I cleared the cmos again and the computer started up.  Are there any settings I should leave alone? ?(

    Okay, I set the fsb speed to 133, and the computer starts up, but only after I detach the video card, turn on the computer, turn off the computer, reattach the video card, and then turn on the computer.  
    All the lights on the D-bracket stay red, which is supposed to mean that the processor is damaged or not installed properly, but the processor works fine in other mobos, and I'm sure the processor is installed properly.  The lights stay red until I turn off the computer, detach the vid card, turn on the computer, let it boot for a couple seconds, turn off the computer, reattach the vid card, and then turn on the computer, at which point the computer starts up normally.  
    I have no idea what the problem is.

  • BIOS update question for N650Ti-1GD5/OC BE

    Can you tell mei fi the BIOS from the MSI website is newer then the Bios i currently have?
    MSI Bios:
    msi.com/product/vga/N650Ti-1GD5-OC-BE.html#/?div=BIOS
    My current bios:
    mediafire.com/download/lj4z7gyv68oziom/GK106.rom
    GPU-Z screenshot:
    mediafire.com/convkey/7ba9/2etxgs3atxvkhidfg.jpg

    There is also NvFlash for Windows but it's also not just clicking. It's flashing a vbios and there should be as less software involved as possible to prevent bricking the card because of a software issue.

  • Qosmio F50-10K - How to get Vista 64Bit from Toshiba

    Hello,
    Few days ago I bought Qosmio F50-10K but with Vista Ultimate 32 Bit.
    It doesn't satisfy me
    Does anybody know, how can I get Vista Ultimate 64 Bit from Toshiba?
    This version was developed for Poland, but in this country there is no Representative Offices or something like this. There are only distributors or shops which import laptops from foreign distributors.

    Isnt it funny that some notebooks from different manufacturers are not equipped with any Operating Systems?
    You got a Vista 32bit of course it would be better if everyone could choose the OS which is the best for everyone but fact is that computer manufacturers sell the own products with the most popular OS and 32bit is more popular as 64bit OS due to compatibility with other 3rd party software.
    Bye

  • Bios update UEFI for Pavilion dv6-6b13ss

    hello guys,
    Cant find the Bios update UEFI for my Pavilion dv6-6b13ss, tried everything possible still can't find, any solution please?
    The other proplem i have that HP detect my computer model as Pavilion dv6-6b13ss but on the bottom of my device is written  Pavilion dv6 6166ee so whats seems to be the proplem here? 
    PS : when update the bios with file HP presented for Pavilion dv6 6166ee i got the message that this bios update its not for this model.
    thanks,

    Hi @aliens1983 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp you are unsure of the exact model notebook  you have as the auto detect states you have the Pavilion dv6-6b13ss but the sticker on the bottom states it is Pavilion dv6 6166ee .
    It is most likely the former as that is what the tool detected after scanning your system for information.
    Here is a link to How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? that may also help to clarify this for you.
    Here is a link to the HP Pavilion dv6-6b13ss Entertainment Notebook PC Support And Drivers where it does list the latest recommended bios update as F.1C.
    I hope this helped.

  • BIOS Update Utility for Win8 x64?

    I need to install a BIOS update available for the H430, but Lenovo doesn't offer an update utility that runs under 64-bit Windows. The instructions in the BIOS download say to download an ISO image file and burn it to a CD. That's fine, but I can't find any such file on the Lenovo site.
    How do I install a BIOS update on an H430 running Win8 x64?

    Hi, when I try to update the BIOS from 1.4 to 1.6 I get the following error message "The image file c:\....\7185v16\AWFL859G.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine" .  The reason I am doing an up date is because its detecting my CPU at 0 revs.  But when i use another scoket on the MB (system fan) it reads it ok.  And when I put the system fan into CPU, its ok as well  .  Hence the Update.  Plus I cant get "live update 3.75" to work as get the following error all the time "service has not started" (not to bothered about this error).  I am currently using XP Pro x64 Edition  .
    Regards
    GGMan
    ok, let me understand. you want to update because the CPU fan shows 0 rpms in BIOS. if you put the system fan on the CPU fan connector, then it shows a correct value for rpms? then the BIOS is not a problem, but the fan is. did you check if the fan was actually spinning or the connector was properly inserted? anyway, have you also checked if the BIOS version you want to flash to contains a fix for your problem? you can see that in the BIOS release notes.
    it seems to me that you are trying to flash with the wrong BIOS. make sure that if you flash, you use the correct one for your mobo.

  • Windows 7 - BIOS update question - Satellite A350-13A

    Hi,
    I have the Toshiba A350-13A for Poland.
    It came with Vista 32 bit system. I would like to install there Windows 7 64 bit.
    So I have a question for BIOS update.
    In my toshiba model driver section for WIN7 there is only a 32 bit BIOS for OS independent, but in the Vista section there is a 64 bit BIOS.
    So shall I stay with the 32 bit BIOS or update to Vista 64 bit BIOS?
    best regards.

    Hi
    Do you have any performance or notebook issues using the 32bit BIOS?
    If everything is working properly then leave the 32bit BIOS on your notebook.
    I would recommend updating the BIOS only if some serious problems would appear
    Cheers

  • BIOS Updater tool for laptop says it is not comptible with laptop.

    I have a Satelite C855D-S5106, and Toshiba says, when I go through all the dropdown boxes to select my model of laptop, that there are two (one older, one newer) BIOS updates for this laptop. However, when running either update tool, they both give me a notice, stating that they are not compatible with my model of laptop.
    What do I do now?

    The Toshiba service station can also update the bios.
    Your support page is here - Support page
    The newest bios update information:
    Change History
    Version 6.20 - 2013-01-21
    Fixed: System hangs after settings are changed by TSS.
    Added: CER key for a Smart DE issue.
    This shows that it fix's system hangs after settings are changed by TSS (Toshiba service station), That tool shows you what updates are available, then downloads and installs them for you. Because of this I would update the bios though many believe that if its not broke dont fix it when it comes to the bios. 
    The Toshiba service station sometimes will show a bios update that does not apply to your laptop, it went away after a couple of weeks on mine.

    I'm thinking of Upgrading my i3 2120 to a i5 3470 (Sandy-Bridge to Ivy-Bridge)
    I know my motherboard supports it, but will I need a BIOS Update
    I can not find a BIOS update ANYWHERE.
    Thanks.

    This question was solved.

    You don't need a BIOS update.
    When it is stated that a CPU is supported in the motherboard specifications document it means that BIOS support is already present.

  • Need WIn8.1 webcam driver for Qosmio F50-108

    Hello everyone!
    I'm looking for Toshiba Qosmio F50-108 camera driver. I have windows 8.1.
    Does anyone know where I can find this?

    As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer webcam driver for Win8/Win8.1.
    Operating system uses standard Microsoft driver.
    I think this Qosmio is pretty old notebook model. But, generally speaking, I don't know if your Qosmio is supported for Win8/Win8.1 or not?
