**bleep** WITH INSYDE BIOS??

I have a need to enable wake on LAN for my HP DV7T-6c00. I also want to disable hyperthreading, as the  majoiry of video game performance is diminished with it enabled. I have looked and looked for an unlocked BIOS but now I'm just PISSED. There is literally ZERO REASON for HP to lock the BIOS. Don't give me the BS, "so people don't make changes and damage their computer derp herp". That's a RIDICULOUS cop out. First off, there aren't any settings in the BIOS that would damage your computer. Possibly if there were RAM timings and CPU frequencies/multipliers as options then some damage could [albeit unlikely] be caused. Aside from that, there's literally nothing that could cause any problem that pressing the hotkey to "restore defaults" couldn't correct.
I really have no clue what bonehead came up with the idea to do this, but as an owner of 3 HP computers, with the DV7 being the only one that is locked, I'm telling you right now. I won't be buying another HP unless a resolution is produced. In the very least there must be allowed the opportunity for an end user to call in and request the BIOS be unlocked, and just ship with the BIOS locked by default (still a POINTLESS measure, however). ASUS HERE I COME.

When asked for the password just hit enter three times.

  • Insyde BIOS Recovery Method ?

    I have hp Pavilion dm3-1060ef Notebook PC & its "Insyde BIOS" is gone & my baby has no longer started. So I downloaded its BIOS from HP ftps & I decompressed its, so I found a folder named "Crisis" containing two files : "142E.bin" & "3649.bin". I am wondring which one is the correct file name to be used in the USB Stick to use the recovery method. Help me please to save my baby
    Tomay

    No, you only have to copy the files onto it, with the name AMIBOOT.ROM
    It works ONLY with floppy, sorry.

  • Problem with downgrading bios. MSI P67A-GD65 (B3).

    Hi!
    I'm having problems with downgrading my bios from version 4.3 to 1.19. I want to downgrade, because 4.3 doesn't want to boot when I use xmp settings for my RAM ( that might be related to my CPU since I have i5 2500k which is 32nm and 4.3 version of BIOS is recommended for 22nm processors ). When I try to flash with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool I'm getting an error: "Rom file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID". I've ran out of ideas how to downgrade my bios so I'm asking you for help. My specs:
    MOBO: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
    CPU: INTEL CORE i5 2500K
    RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAWS X 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHZ CL6 (F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH)

    Here you go. GD65 and GD55 usde the same BIOS files;

  • Satellite P300 - 01S or PSPCCC-01S01C CPU is underclocked with each Bios update

    Why is Toshiba crippling the performance of the CPU ,FSB and Memmory speed with each bios update
    when perchased bios version 1.60     
     *    internal clock speed 2001 MHz
    update to Bios version 1.80
    *   internal clock speed 1995 MHz
         crippled performance by .5 %
    update to Bios version 2.50
    *    internal clock speed 1993.4
         crippled performance by 1.95 %
    *    other issues fan coming on more often
         intel wireless unstable
         etc
    in this last Bios update 2.50 a noticable drop in performance under load
    I paid for >>"Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.0GHz 1066MHz FSB, L1 Cache 32KB/32KB, L2 Cache 3MB)"  not a 1.9 Processor
    >> YOU ARE CRIPPLING THE FSB AND MEMMORY TIMINGS AND UNDER CLOCKING MY LAPTOP <<
    I would like it restored to its former advertised speed 2.0GHz
    The reduced speed is noticable.
    everyone should check for obvious reduced performance

    thank you for your repley
    i am very much in favor of stability ,reliability and performance but the fact remains
    that Toshiba Techs have made a conscious  and willfull decision to under clock the laptop and make no
    mention that the bios updates may result in processing reduction, as for the call to tech support it was fruitless
    because they are clueless as to why such things happen (Corporate Denial).
    In Canada there were two very close speced laptops
    one for 899.00 CAD with 1.9 GHz CPU
    and the one I bought 2 months ago 1149.00 CAD 2.0 GHz
    To me this looks like Toshiba overclocking the laptop to get out the retail door.
    its not just affecting me, it affects everyone that buys a Toshiba laptop.
    I will not back down on this point. The origional advertised and paid for specs, should
    be restored in an upcoming bios update. If not, then it just confirms my original
    findings.
    This is refered to as "BAIT and SWITCH" and the practice is illegal in Canada.

    This time I think I understand him:
    Mainboard: MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp-Edition (MS-7246 v.2.1)
    He wants to know if the incompatibility issue between JMicron and the Intel RAID controller that appeared with the 7.2x BIOS-Versions has been resolved in the latest official BIOS (7.5). The JMicron controller has to be completely disabled in order to use Intel RAID.  One IDE and one SATA port are rendered useless due to this BIOS bug.

  • K9N2 Diamond works with X2 3800+ but not Phenomii 940 with updated BIOS

    The system in question.
    MSI K9N2 Diamond Current BIOS 7375v 2.6, have also tried 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2
    AMD Phenom II 940
    2X 2Gb Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5
    Antec True Power 750 Watt P.S.
    EVGA Nvidia GTX 260 GPU
    W.D. 300Gb HDD
    This system is about 6 months old. When I put this system together for my brother in law, he ordered the parts with the intention of using his old mobo but didn't realize it didnt support the phenom chip he ordered. SO rather than waiting for another ordered part we took a trip to our local Comp USA. K9N2 Diamond said it was phenom 2 ready, yeah ok. Anyway after a few hours of going crazy trying to figure this out for him I found out it wasn't phenom2 capable till you updated the BIOS with an older CPU. Lucky for us I use an X2 3800+ in my machine. So I popped my chip in and ipdated his BIOS with the USB drive tool. Everything seemed right with the world then.
     Now he brought the PC over for me to install Windows 7 64 bit for him. Did the install and was tracking down the few drivers Windows 7 missed and ran across Live update 4 for drivers and utilities. Should have known better but I went ahead and let it update the BIOS to 2.6. Sure enough, the CPU and GPU fans cycle on and off with no post. Check this post as his issues are identical to the ones I am experiencing. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133615.0 Now they never resolved this guys issue and it looks like he just RMA'd the board.
    So I started narrowing down the possible issues. First thing I did was find the MSI USB Flash Tool again and put BIOS 2.2 back on with my 3800+ back in his machine. Machine worked with every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 installed with USB tool with my 3800+ in his machine but would not post at all with all BIOS versions and his phenomII. Every time his CPU is in the machine, when the power is turned on the CPU and the GPU fans both go to max RPM then turn off over and over. Cleared CMOS multiple times. I know the clear was working when I put my 3800+ in it would state the time was reset in BIOS. Pulled everything out but one stick of RAM and same thing, posts with 3800+, nothing with phenomII. Tried the other stick of RAM although it passed both a memory test with USB tool and memtest with 3800+ installed. Same. Pulled CoolMax 750W PS from my machine and put it in his. Same issues. No post with PhenomII, posts with 3800+. Now this is with NOTHING but a stick of known good RAM, PS, Mobo, CPU and CPU fan. Using onboard video. All other drives, fans, pci devices, ect are disconnected.
    So now I have 2 machines in my office all taken apart as I do not want to have to button my machine back up just to tear it back apart in case I have to do more to his Mobo with my CPU. I would rather not have to RMA the board if I do not have to like the guy in the link to the post I put up above.

    I understand the need for future proofing mainboards as much as possible. What I am not ok with is the labeling on the box stating the board is PhenomII ready when in fact it isn't ready unless you have an older CPU that you can use to flash the BIOS to make it ready. Plus, if Live Update is the POS that everyone makes it out to be on the forums, why is it the first option on MSI's website for driver and BIOS downloads? MSI's USB Flash Tool is probably one of the easiest things I have ever used to update a BIOS, why not have that as the first option?
    Anyway, I managed to talk a buddy into bringing his rig over to help me figure this out. Replaced his 965 with the 940 in question and it fired right up in an ASUS M4A785-M mobo. Tried the memory and PS in his rig as well just to triple check them and they were also good. Put his 965 in the K9N2 Diamond after making sure the BIOS was version 2.6 with the 3800+ and did not fire up with his 965 in the socket.
    So a quick recap.
    940 and 965 PhenomII will not post in the K9N2 Diamond but the 3800+ will.
    All three post in the M4A785
    tested memory by using only the slot closest to CPU in K9N2 on stick at a time. Both sticks work in the K9 with the 3800+ and both sticks work in the M4A785 with all three CPU's.
    have tried every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 using the MSI USB Flash Tool with the 3800+ in the K9N2.
    Have cleared CMOS multiple times with the power cord out and holding down the On/Off switch for 20 seconds to discharge the caps before clearing. After every clear the next successful post says that the BIOS time needs to be updated.
    P.S. works on three different rigs.
    Any ideas or suggestions? If I must RMA than I must. But it works with the 3800+ so there has to be something firmware wise that is causing this.

  • I need your help with the Bios password!

    Hi,
    I'm using a satellite l305D-S5895 and i have a problem with the bios password.  I was setting a password in the Bios or CMOS ( i don't know exactly).  Every time i start up my computer, a blue box appears and ask me for the password. I know the password but  I think it complicated and i want to take it off, and clear it.  Please help me with that.  If you guys have a way by turn of the battery or push the reset key inside the laptop, please give me some pictures to show that.  Thanks a lot.

    This does not sound like a Toshiba Bios password. The Toshiba passwords come on a black screen with white writing and say "Password =". Toshiba Service Centers have the tools needed to remove the password. provided that you can prove the computer is yours. So bring a proof of purchase and be prepared to pay, because password removal is not covered under warranty.

  • [Solved] Unbootable USB with both BIOS and UEFI setup

    I'm installing Arch to a USB flash drive to be bootable across a wide-range of computers (like the Arch ISO for USB) - both with legacy BIOS and with UEFI support (32bit instead of 64bit for greatest compatibility). I've installed Arch successfully and everything with it works fine.
    To get the flash drive to bootup on legacy BIOS systems, I've installed Grub. This went without a hitch and this boots up on every legacy BIOS machine I've tried.
    However, I cannot for the life of me get UEFI working. I only have one UEFI-enabled machine to test on. I've tied settings up both Gummiboot and Grub for UEFI support and they both seem to get to the same place. I get their boot entries to show up in the UEFI's boot up menu, but it boots the UEFI installation already present on the system (another Arch installation). If I remove the UEFI entry for the Arch installation on the machine, it lists the flash drive in the boot-up menu but clicking on it tells me that there were no bootable mediums found. So I'm guessing there is a configuration error somewhere.
    The Arch ISO disk boots up successfully over UEFI on the machine without a hitch. SafeBoot is disabled on the UEFI machine machine. The UEFI machine has a working UEFI Arch installation by Grub2 which works fine - I setup the flash drive pretty much the same was as detailed below but it doesn't work.
    Here is my setup:
    Disk /dev/sda: 57.9 GiB, 62176362496 bytes, 121438208 sectors
    Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

    It is a GPT formatted flash drive, with an EFI partition, a BIOS Boot partition (for Grub) and finally a LUKS encrypted file system. (I have also tried the system without LUKS and I still get the same results as above).

    mkdir /boot/EFI/boot
    cp /boot/EFI/grub/grubia32.efi  /boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
    I have to copy grubia32.efi to bootx64.efi so my UEFI system detects the flash drive.
    I have done all of these steps on a BIOS machine, and a UEFI machine, both with the same results. The machine recognizes the flash drive in the bootup menu and lists it as an option to boot from, but it tells me no bootable device was found. I don't care which method I need to use to get the flash drive to bootup over UEFI, gummiboot or Grub, I'm just trying to get it to work.

    It sounds like you are on the right track.  I got it to work using a similar method.  Here is my setup: 16GB USB 2.0 Corsair Voyager.
    gdisk -l /dev/sdb
    GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
    Partition table scan:
    MBR: protective
    BSD: not present
    APM: not present
    GPT: present
    Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
    Disk /dev/sdb: 31950720 sectors, 15.2 GiB
    Logical sector size: 512 bytes
    Disk identifier (GUID): 0C83EC1E-9109-4E1E-9EB8-01373E2339D4
    Partition table holds up to 128 entries
    First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 31950686
    Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
    Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)
    Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
    1 2048 206847 100.0 MiB EF02 BIOS boot partition
    2 206848 616447 200.0 MiB EF00 EFI System
    3 616448 31950686 14.9 GiB 8300 Linux filesystem
    As you can see, I made 3 partitions on a GPT labeled USB stick.  You need to format the EF00 and 8300 partitions:
    mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb2
    mke2fs -t ext4 -L isofiles /dev/sdb3
    "isofiles" is the label I used for the ext4 partition.  You can change this.  Now install Grub for EFI on the ESP partition:
    mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
    mkdir -p /mnt/boot
    grub-install --target x86_64-efi --efi-directory /mnt --boot-directory /mnt/boot --removable
    Place your grub.cfg file in /mnt/EFI/BOOT.
    Install GRUB for legacy BIOS on the bios_boot partition:
    umount /mnt
    mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt
    mkdir -p /mnt/boot
    grub-install --no-floppy --target i386-pc --boot-directory /mnt/boot /dev/sdb
    Place your grub.cfg file in /mnt/boot/grub.  On some systems, it is /mnt/boot/grub2.
    Copy all of your ISO files, e.g., arch, gparted, clonzilla, etc, to the ext4 partition.  you will need the UUID of the ext4 partition:
    blkid /dev/sdb3
    This is because we are using a UUID search method to find the ISO's before loop mounting them. You can obtain the grub menu entries for various distros here.  I used the following grub.cfg to boot arch and gparted in EFI mode:
    set default="0"
    function load_video {
    insmod efi_gop
    insmod efi_uga
    insmod video_bochs
    insmod video_fb
    insmod video_cirrus
    insmod all_video
    load_video
    set gfxpayload=keep
    insmod gzio
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod ext2
    set timeout=10
    submenu 'GParted -->' {
    set default="1"

    The legacy grub.cfg file is identical to the above, except that you use "linux" and "initrd" instead of "linuxefi" and "intrdefi".   Note that unfortunately you have to use two grub.cfg file, one for UEFI and the other for legacy placed in the locations described above.  However, they are very similar.
    When you boot the machine, if it is an ASUS board, let's assume, press F8 during POST.  You should see "Corsair - UEFI" and "Corsair".  They should both work.  Good Luck.

  • DV8 - NQ226AV - Updated with wrong BIOS

    Unfortunately I updated this laptop with a Bios that was geared for a different model. The BIOS functioned and now I'm in BSOD hell.
    Anyway to make a BIOS USB that I can back this update out?
    When I try to restore the previous BIOS that Flash tool returns a Blue Screen.
    I'm stuck.
    Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    Hi there @Bricked 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you accidentally updated with the wrong BIOS, I am happy to help with this.
    Take a look at this page and see if you can update the BIOS from the backup. If not then the document continues on to other methods.
    Restoring the BIOS
    You can find the correct BIOS on the support page for your notebook. Normally the BIOS file has several options, and should be able to create a USB flash drive with the BIOS image.

  • INSYDE BIOS F.26

    is there anyway to read temperatures through the BIOS settings.
    i have f.26 insyde bios installed and cannot read the CPU temperatures as there is no option/menu to do that!
    and i urgently require the temperature reading!

    No there is no temperature reading from the BIOS on an HP laptop.
    Try these:
    http://speedfan.en.softonic.com/
    http://download.cnet.com/HWMonitor/3000-2094_4-10793486.html
    Laptops may or may not have all the sensors to give all the readings but you can usually at least get the cpu core temp.

  • Your recommendations on budget mobo with descent bios features?

    I need a new motherboard for work, so its a budget board with descent bios features I will overclock but am unlikely to go ballistic. Also I thought I'd use integrated video. I will also be replacing the cpu and was likely to get AMD possibly dual core so I guess I will stick with a 939 version. What are your thoughts?

    what about this one http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=693, Website doesn't detail what bios options they have.
    Download the manual for it and read through the boards bios manual section . (thats what I did with the other one)

  • K7T266 Pro with Award Bios (Change FSB)

    Hi,
    I've got an old motherboard and i would put on it an athlon 1400 processor.
    I have installed it correctly on the motherboard but the fsb is equal to 100 mhz.
    I would set it to 133 mhz because the processor runs at 1050 mhz... (10,5 * 100)
    With the Ami Bios, it's easy to change the fsb but with Award Bios, i don't know how change it ...
    I have verified the bios version with MSI Live Update and i have got the latest version ...
    How can i do to change the fsb on my motherboard ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.
    Kris
