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  .

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.

  • Bios Update Utility for Linux?

    Hi Community,
    I want to know if there is a way to update a BIos in a Lenovo 3000 N200 using Linux as an operating system.
    Thanks.
    Hope to hear from you.

    I have started the exe utility from a DOS window by manually typing in the name, I have started it from the RUN dialog box, and I have started it by double-clicking it from the Windows Explorer. In all cases it starts up the Windows application portion just fine. I get all the initial warning messages and confirmation messages. But as soon as I get to the "do it now button" (click Next to update your BIOS), it just immediately shuts down and restarts my computer without doing the flash update.

  • ThinkPad Edge S430: BIOS update utility for Windows 2.50

    For anybody who wants to update to the latest BIOS released a couple of days ago (gauj10us.exe) and get this error:
    It's because the setup definition is wrong. You just have to execute with elevated privileges. Right click over the file and select "Run as administrator".
    Cheers.
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

    Hi Yasarharafath,
    I am sorry for the delay in reply!
    I am glad to hear that your system is now booting after using Phoenix Wincrisis Tool. But for this new issue suggest you to check with uninstalling ACPI adapter from the device manager. Remove the battery from the system & power on the system from connecting ‘Power Adapter’. Wait till the system boot completely and then go to ‘Device Manager’ then uninstall ‘Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery’ under battery option. After uninstalling shutdown the system, remove ‘Power Adapter’ and insert the battery then switch ON the system and check.
    Hope this helps.

  • New NF980-G65 with an AMD X6 1090T and the BIOS Update Utility Crashes?

    Last week I received my new NF980-G65 board and with it an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3).  After installing the board and starting it up for the first time I noticed that it reports BIOS version 1.1 and CPU unknown.  Next I downloaded the BIOS update to version 1.3 from msi, made a boot USB stick and powered up again.  System will not boot from USB.  I tried now over 20 different sticks from 256MB to 64GB and none of them worked!
    Went back to my old system and ripped its floppy drive out to install it in the new computer.  Had to go to RadioShack since I have not touched a floppy in over 10 years, but they had some on clearance.  Made me a boot disk, put the new BIOS and install utility on it, booted the system with the floppy, started the BIOS update utility and watched it crash.  When I start it by itself it gives me three screens of options and commands, but as soon as I try to use one of the commands or update the BIOS it keeps crashing.
    What do I have to do to get the BIOS on the NF980-G65 updated so it will run with my AMD X6 1090T processor?
    Thank you in advance for ANY help...

    I am sorry, but I need to work with this thing since I make a living writing code, I do not play with it!  This thing and the support I am getting for it are not worth my time or money!
    What thing are you talking about?  You are experiencing the a certain symptom for which you do not know the cause.  For some strange reason and without any in-depth tests you seem to assume that the board must be the problem (ignoring all other components (for example your factory overclocked memory modules).

    What support have you tried to get that actually has to do anything with money?  Please note that this is not MSI Technical Support but a User-to-User forum, run by users (just like you) that do not get paid for donating their private time to try to help others.  Whatever your level of frustration is in regards to the money spent for your components, please do not use it to insult anyone here in this forum.

  • BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition Version: 2.20

    BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition
    A new BIOS update is available on Lenovo site for X61. Is it worth updating and will it solve overheating problem. Please let me know those who tested it.
     http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67982
    Regards.

    I forgot to follow up my own follow up.  The heat problem returned and I was going to send it back again, but realized tech would probably just repack and send it back to me untouched.  I was able to reduce the heat by eliminating much of the bloatware, including several of Lenovo's own utilities.  I monitor it now and find that when running a spyware scan, for example, the heat builds up again.
    I believe the problem is all about hardware constrictions, that is, faster components in an ever-shrinking case.  I blame developers for not implementing better cooling techniques, and am especially critical of the premium sellers like Lenovo for charging as much as they do for mediocre performance.

  • BIOS update utility does not run

    I am on an IBM-branded T42, model 2378-EXU. My current BIOS level is 3.13 (1RETDHWW). I have XP Professional with all service packs and updates installed and up to date.
    I am trying to update to the latest BIOS of 3.23 (1RETDRWW).
    I downloaded the BIOS update utility file 1ruj37us.exe from the Lenovo support & downloads site. I copied it to a temp directory on my hard drive. I disconnected my computer from the dock, have it on AC power, have a fully charged battery. I have shut down all other applications and my antivirus software. I have followed all other instructions on the site verbatim.
    When I run the exe file, it starts up in Windows as expected. I run through all the confirmation screens and tell it to start the BIOS update. As I understand it, the next thing should be automatic startup of a DOS utility that does the actual work. Instead, as soon as I hit the final confirmation on the Windows utility, it shuts down Windows and restarts the computer. The BIOS does not get updated. I have confirmed this through system utilities (the Thinkpad system information) and by interrupting startup and verifying the BIOS information in the configuration utility. I have also tried reloading BIOS to default in order to reinitialize it.
    I have done these steps at least four times now. My computer doesn't update and the update utility never fires up the workhorse part of the functionality. It just goes straight to system restart.
    Can you offer any suggestions?

    I have started the exe utility from a DOS window by manually typing in the name, I have started it from the RUN dialog box, and I have started it by double-clicking it from the Windows Explorer. In all cases it starts up the Windows application portion just fine. I get all the initial warning messages and confirmation messages.

  • No PKCS#11 support in JDK 6 Update 14 for Windows x64?

    Hi there,
    I successfully installed GlassFish 2.1 on Windows 2008 x64 with JDK 6 Update 13 for x64. Everything was ok until I wanted to access my USB token with a certificate on it trough an EJB.
    I then had to reinstall everything based on 32-bit versions. Now it works again, but I'm not very satisfied with the solution because I wanted to have everything based 64-bit.
    Why JDK 6 Update 14 for Windows x64 does not contain PKCS#11 support? When you have look to the x86 version support is available there.

    If you load successfully your pkcs11 lib into java 32bit mean that the lib is 32bit.
    You cannot load a 32bit native lib into java 64bit ( http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/HotSpotFAQ.html#64bit_native_porting ).
    If you find the 64bit lib for your token, you should be able to use java64.

    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.

  • Does Toshiba supports an BIOS Update Utility like DCCU?

    Hi all
    Different notebook manufacturer use a utility called the Client Configuration Utility (DCCU) which can be used to update the BIOS for multiple notebook models from the series.
    I have searched these forums and the web but I cannot find a similar tool for Toshiba laptops.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
    Thanks
    Scott
    Edited by: admin

    > My firm has hundreds of laptops from another large manufacturer who do supply the DCCU utility to centrally manage BIOS updates and other BIOS settings, such as enabling/disabling options like Wake On LAN.
    Well, the Toshiba provides a tool called Toshiba HWSetup. Using this tool you can change the different BIOS settings like booting order, wake up on LAN, etc very easily in the Windows OS.
    As you know BIOS update is always risky and the BIOS update procedure is not always the same on all Toshiba notebooks series. The wrong BIOS or wrong update procedure can damage the motherboards ROM.
    Therefore the BIOS update must be done on single notebook.
    > Why is it that this particular manufacturer can create the DCCU utility that works for all machine models and Toshiba cannot produce a similar utility please?
    Who knows ?:| I didnt find such informations in the internet or on the Toshiba page Such questions can be answered by a Toshiba technician or Toshiba manager but as you probably dont know this is a user-to-user forum and a simply user like me and you dont know such details In my personal opinion every manufacturer have own policies and restrictionsThat's all

  • Cannot boot if HP ENVY Bios Virtualization enabled for Win8 Pro Hyper-V

    HP Envy H8-1414 desktop machine (just bought last week)
    Upgraded from Win8 to Win8 Pro
    Win8 Pro has Hyper-V just like a Server OS, so I
    - enabled Virtualizaiton in the Bios
    - in Win8 Pro, Control Panel, Programs and Features, Add/Remove Windows Software
    - enabled Hyper-V
    - reboot
    - won't get past Window logo with rotating "busy" circle underneath
    Power off, into BIOS, disable Virtualization
    Machine now boots, but Hyper-V won't work.
    So, looks like the BIOD supports virtualization, but not for Windows 8. 

    To add some more details....
    The HP specs for this machine say Gigabyte motherboard, but you can't find the model on Gigabyte's web site, and Gigabyte won't support it (I tried, they said it is not theirs - great). Anyway, some Gigabyte boards show a similar problem and the workaround is to disable USB 3 host in the bios, but this machine's BIOS does not show this option.
    When I spoke with HP, they very quickly told me that I needed to call Microsoft. They would not provide support for this BIOS issue. Microsoft seemed pretty surprised that they would pass the buck so quickly and I can at least say that they are being very attentive to the problem.
    With Microsoft support, they had me recreate the problem and wanted me to let it hang on the Windows logo screen for one hour. Then, they had me run a tool which dumps a bunch of logs and diagnostics to some files which I have sent to them.  That's the most recent step so I'm waiting to hear back from them. 
    I've used Hyper-V on a buch of HP machines with no problems, but none of them with Windows 8. I'm tempted to put in another drive and install Windows 2008 R2 or 2012 and see if Hyper-V works. 
    I've typically purchased HP machines (for work, so more than an individual woudl buy) because they have been reliable but I've never attempted to use HP support. I was surprised how poor it was. I would think that this would be an issue they would want to resolve and I expect it may be possible with a BIOS update. 

  • 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.

  • Disk Image for Firmware Update Utility for LaserJet p2055dn is corrupted

    Yep.  Not sure what happened with that one. I have submitted the issue to the software team.  Hopefully I can get a copy that works out to you soon. Apologies for the inconvenience.  

    Update to my previous post: HP confirms that their Firmware Update Utility is broken, but there is another way to update the firmware on a LaserJet P2055dn using a Mac running OS X, and here it is. HP tech support walked me through this procedure and it worked for me: Getting the printer ready: ensure that the LaserJet P2055dn is connected to your computer and make it the default printer. In System Preferences / Printers and Scanners, find your HP LaserJet P2055dn, select it, Click “Open Print Queue” and on the Printer menu, choose “Make Default.” On that same menu, choose “Print Test Page” and verify that the page prints.Using your Web browser, go to the following page on the HP website and click the “Download” button. Don’t worry that the page says it’s for Windows Vista. The file you’re about to download is for your HP LaserJet printer and doesn’t care what kind of computer you use to install it. Here’s the link:
    http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ja-143142-1#tab1
    When it finishes downloading, go to your downloads folder and find the file HP_LaserJet_P2055dn_20141201_build155964.rfu
    (note: you'll probably get a “Preparing for HP separation” message;. Just click OK)In your Applications/Utilities folder, find Terminal, and open it. In the Terminal window, type lp (space) but don’t press “return” yet. Drag and drop the above file from your finder window into the Terminal window. Then press “return”Watch the LCD display on your printer. It should go through several steps, beginning with “erasing” and finally saying “ready.”Go back to the printer’s “Print Queue” window and print another test page. If the test page prints properly, congratulations. You've done it!

    Quote from: Chike on 06-March-15, 10:07:20
    First I don't think you or anyone should put up with having only 3 channel memory when they paid for 4. If the board or CPU are faulty they should be replaced.
    You can start with MemTest86 or MemTest86+. MemTest86 has multi CPU test option that is more real life like, I don't know about MemTest86+, haven't used it for quite long time.
    Before using Prime95, make sure you have CPU/Core temperature monitoring software  such as RealTemp, Core Temp, HWiNFO, or CPUID HWMonitor.
    Prime95, I assume th 64-bit version, but this create a lot of heat, what cooler do you have?
    You can choose to run 6 threads instead of 12, it should be stressfull enough, also you can add the line Code: [Select]
    CpuSupportsFMA3=0 to local.txt to disable FMA3 instructions that are more stressful on the CPU but not necessarily on memory.
    If it is still too hot (>70c) add Code: [Select]
    CpuSupportsAVX=0Do not close the window to stop the test, select exit from the file menu.
    Or you can try OCCT which is all-in-one, stress + monitoring in one program. Select Large Data Set to stress memory. It also runs somewhat cooler than Prime95.
    trust me i agree i talked to msi support and got no help they just kept telling me they know about the issuse and should have a fix for it soon, But yet i have seen many people say they have the same problem over 5 months now.......  So i just talked to amazon and they said no problem they will give me a refund so now i need to find a good board to work with my i7 5820k 2011-3 pcu

       2. Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
       3. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
