Corecenter resarts system (in BIOS v2.0)

I update BIOS from 1.9 to 2.0 and I cant use corecenter. when I open it system resarts. its same in your systems and what is its solution?

Core-Center; is still a Project in the Works, as you can Read the "Sticky" at the Top of this Page. And because of this, it is NOT Recomended for use with the P4 Boards as of yet.......And what "Del Uk" was refering to when he asked for "More info", was if you could Please create a "Signature" by Using your "Forum User controll Panel", we ask this so if a member has a Problem or Question about his or Her system we can Look at his Sig. and see if perhaps he has a certain componant that we know of to have issues, and not only that, As it is very hard to even begin to help with a question if we dont even know what Operating system that you are running .......Just take a look at some of the other members "Signatures" and you will have an idea as to what we are looking for ...I am not Trying to be rude, but if you really wind up having an Issue and you dont have a "Signature" either you will not recieve all of the help that you would otherwise or you will be sent Here>>> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=38822&sid= .................Sean REILLY875

Strange System Update, BIOS hacked?

Hi, last night my laptop rebooted without warning. During the reboot I got the "Lenovo" boot screen with it saying "Updating your system" for about 5 - 10 minutes. After looking at the logs it seems the reboot was called be a program caled GeekBuddy which I have never used but it seems allows other people to take control of your PC. Is this "Updating your system" likely to have been someone installing a dodgy BIOS? If so is there anything I can do to remove any malware that may have been insallled in the BIOS which reinstalling Windows won't remove?

Sorry I missed this topic when it was posted in July. As richk mentioned, having backups is always good if you run into a malware problem that cannot be cleaned and requires a reformat.
The GeekBuddy that I am familiar with is a support system whereby a Comodo expert makes a remote connection to the computer for tech support, virus cleaning, software installation, and printer setup. It has been available in a paid version and a trial version. Comodo is a legitimate, reputable company. I doubt that their techs would remote to your computer without your permission. However, if you have ever used any Comodo products, such as their firewall, or Internet Security, GeekBuddy may have been installed along with that. GeekBuddy can be uninstalled via your Programs and Features.

Troubles in dual boot system after BIOS update

Hello:
PC: Thinkpad T500
1. I had for one year Linux Fedora 10 and Vista Ultimate working in dual boot with Grub, no problems at all.
Three days ago Lenovo support recommended I update my BIOS from 2.07 to 3.12, as I had some intermitent Sleep problems in Vista. Then my problems started.
2. First, after updating the BIOS from Vista (dowloaded the exe, double clicked it, gone through the whole sequence with no errors), upon the first restart, the screen was black and I couldn't get in BIOS with F1 and the same happened during other power-off/power on sequences.
3. Now, I've discovered that the best I can do is wait for 10 min after restart in order to get a prompt from ThinkVantage, then Grub boots only the Linux system which works OK.
4. I can't get the dual boot message from Grub, and I can't get any Windows DVD to be taken at boot (I've got full backups from both Control Panel and from ThinkAdvantage backup facility) in order to ru Windows repair.
5. I can go during the ThinkAdvantage to BIOS, the new version seems there (not sure if completely operational), but whey can't I see it with F1?
Is the presence of ThinkAdvantage something special in dual-boot systems or wrt to the BIOS install? Should I do something special about it? I just don't know.
Any ideas?

Strange. I don't have a clue, but I have seen posts here that recoverd from strangeness after a BIOS update by unplugging from the AC mains, removing the battery, and then pressing the power button several times. The last time, hold the button for 10 seconds or so.
That is really a total WAG, but maybe worth a try.
Out of curiousity, what do you see when grub finally loads. I take it that it isn't your original boot menu. Do you have grub installed in the MBR, the boot sector of the Linux partition, or both? Is the Linux partition (or Linux boot partition if you have boot + root) the 1st one on the drive, or _after_ the vista partition.
[edit] You didn't ask, but IMNSHO multibooting a modern laptop isn't really the easiest way to run multiple OSs. I run Linux, Solaris, and OS X in VMs under Win 7 on my T400. They run well, and that approach avoids issues like you are having. The Lenovo ThinkVantage boot-time stuff and R&R are rather fragile. Changes in partitioning and MBR configuration can break them. BIOS and other updates, and Windows repairs can break the multi-boot setup.
There are several ways to set up VMs, but VMWare Player is what I use. The latest version is free and quite usable.

Hello!
I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite P300-1CN . When I start up my laptop won't boot to Windows.
When I tried to get to BIOS, won't let me do this as well. I can see only the Toshiba logo. When I press F2 or F12 I got message:

I removed the HDD and tried put different one (from working laptop) - still not working
I removed the memory and tried put different one (from working laptop) - still no working
I've got no idea what is it causing the trouble.
I've got this laptop about a 2 months.
Thanks.

Hello
Sounds like a hardware issue...
You could try to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor. Wait one hour and then connect both devices again.
If it doesnt work you need professional help from an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and tell you what part must be replaced.
Here you can find your local ASP:

Difference in corecenter and bios

May i know what's the difference between adjusting the FSB using Corecenter instead from the Bios?

Using the BIOS is the recomended way to change anything...I say this because there is to Much room for Program Error (For the Fact that you are changing Critical Hardware Settings by going through the Windows OS), Therefore say Windows (or Core-Center) is not running 100% Stable, You then may try to make a FSB or a Voltage Change, And windows(And Core-Center) could infact send the Wrong Code To the BIOS Potentially Causing system Malfunction, or worse, Hardware Damage ....I alway tell People to just use Core-Center as a Monitoring tool, Not to Make Hardware Changes..................Sean REILLY875

T61 und HD in Dockingstation System bleibt im Bios stehen

Hallo,
wir haben seit einiger Zeit enorme Probleme mit unseren T61 Notebooks (Typ:6462 Model A49 und weiteren).
Sobald sich eine HD im Multibayschacht der Dockingstation befindet bleibt das System im Bios stehen.
Wenn die HD dann entfernt wird boootet das Notebook. Oder man wartet mehrer Stunden dann fährt das Notebook auch hoch.
Was in diesem Zusammenhang auch noch auftritt ist das die HD im Multibayschacht der Dockingstation im laufenden Windows teilweise nicht als HD sondern nur als USB Device erkannt wird.
Was auch komisch ist das es ein paar Tage gar nicht geht und dann gehts aufeinmal wieder :-(
Bereits alle möglichen Bios versionen getestet, verschiedene Festplatten (Hersteller/Grösse)
Bios Einstellungen abgeändert, andere Dockingstations usw.
All das brachte kein Erfolg.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es auch unrelevant welches Betriebssystem installiert ist da das Notebook nicht aus dem Bios heraus kommt.
Und wir haben nicht nur ein Notebook das dieses Problem hat sondern mehrere in der Firma.

Hello baumeisterbob, welcome here.
Unfortunately this is a english speaking forum.
Here is a very good german forum thinkpad-forum.de, if english is not your preferred language.
Please tell us also which docking station do you use.

Z87-G43, can't enter the BIOS Setup, system is not running

Hi everyone,
I was working with my pc for about 2 months. Since the very first day i had few problems with mobo but now i can't even run the system and enter the bios. First of all, i had problem with running the system after disabled the MSI logo. I had to enebled it again, because it was the only way to turn on PC (bios stopped at the screen with black screen and a2 code) but it was about 1 month ago. I also remember that from the very beginning option "Hardware Monitor" wasn't working, i mean bios was freezing too and i had to restart PC. Furthermore i have noticed that after choosing language to Polish, few more options in "Settings" appeared, but after switching language back to english they were gone. Unfortunately i can't say now, which one it was because now i got the biggest problem...
BIOS is not running at all. I mean, it all stops with A2 code in right bottom corner of the screen. I can't even enter the bios setup. It shows "Setup is preparing to start" or something like that, but it doesn't run... Can't do nothing atm. BIOS version was the latest - 1.6 . It all started to happening when i had entered to option in bios with disabling or enabling MSI logo, i didn't choose nothing, it freezed, i have resterted PC, and now i nothing is running... Btw sometimes, i coudn't run the system and bios was freezeing also, if my TL-WN722N wasn't connected to USB port in front case's panel. But now, whenever Tp-LINK is connected or not, it's not running...

A2 is IDE detect <--- that is a HDD/SSD problem or its cable (try a different one)
if the above doesn't work try to foll0w >>Clear CMOS Guide<< do that to reset the BIOS to defaults with power cord removed from your PSU!
after performing the above steps make sure you enter BIOS and reset the SATA mode (AHCI/IDE/RAID to what you installed your os at) and boot order to your SSD first!
Ye that's the reason, I have a new brand 1tb sata 3 where I installed the windows, but the old 320gb sata 2 is causing the same error, so I have to remove the cables from the sata 2 hdd, than the pc boots ok. I shutdown & reatach the old drive & evrething works untill the PC enters stand by again.

K7T266Pro2, bios ver. 3.6, 3.7 - the system is unstable if the CPU is

I've a problem - after flashing to new versions of bios the system becomes very unstable if the CPU is even slightly overclocked (140х11). Now I have the bios version 3.3. It is stable, but does not support fast CPU's (when I overclock my cpu to 1862 MHz, the results in SiSoft Sandra 2002 are much lower then with non-overclocked cpu). What am I to do?
P.S. How to rename the thread?

what is the problem with 3.3 memory timing? I upgraded to 3.7 bios and found that I cannot restart Windows - every time I restart, the bios is stuck in the POST screen - I went back to 3.3 and the problem is gone. I also did not notice any difference in SisSandra 2002 score (including memory benchmark), 3dmark2001se and all other benchmark software I threw at my system between bios 3.3 and bios 3.7.
BTW, I was also like Kolian before in that once I flashed to any bios above 3.3, my system cannot overclock. It turns out I fixed my CPU heatsink the other way around. Once I fixed the heatsink correct, I can use bios 3.7 stably, only problem being it not able to restart.

Satellite 1410-604 - BIOS update Incorrect BIOS update in the web?

Hi there again!
Now with a new and weird matter.
We all know that old say... "If it is not break, don't fix it". And if you put it into more informatic terms, "specially if it is a BIOS".
Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to handle. For some reason we normally feel like if we were handling something like nitro-glycerine, or some radioactive product. And this is because we all know what is being put in risk in that moment: our (or sometimes others) computer, the full system could end as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic, and wires.
Well. I passed through all of that more than ten times in my life, and only once it went wrong. But since that old motherboard was already dead, It was not important. But I allways was EXTREMELY care. I allways cross checked everything before doing anything, allways got a backup and a way to restore that backup... and allways did this in COMPAQ systems, that were prepared that way. Updating a BIOS was just about preparing a disk, turn on the PC with the disk in the diskette drive, and wait. And if you didn't like the results, you simply click "return to previus BIOS" and that was it... very nice. And easy.
Few days ago, a friend brought me a Toshiba Satellite 1410-604 to solve some issues that were driving him crazy. After removing an expired Norton Internet Security, install avast and scan, I found more than one hundred files infected with a wide variety of virus, malware, trojans, and whatever you could imagine. Avast removed them all, but the remains of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format and install from scratch.
I asked for the restoration disks, that obviously he don't have because they were lost in one of his movings. After we got the confirmation from Toshiba reps that there are no recovery disk available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC, and resigned to loose some of the utilities that come with that CDs and that are not available for download in the website.
I downloaded all of the software available for this model, including two BIOS updates. (Actually only one update, but in two versions: Windows and Traditional), and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs just like if it were a brand new system install. And everything went very well, no problems at all. Until we got to the Wireless LAN card, but that is another issue that is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support WEP or WAP encription, and it is not possible to connect to any wireless LAN encripted).
At this point, and when I started configuring and enabling PCMCIA devices, and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1 not 2.0) I discovered this text in the Toshiba Website:
"This Bios Update adds increased functionality to your system.
(BIOS is an acronym for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a Read-Only Memory chip on the motherboard.
When the computer powers up, the BIOS is launched to perform various start-up functions.)
For detailed update information please refer to Toshiba BIOS-Update Information"

Satellite 14xx
Satellite 1410-604
PS141E
Quite specific. Isn't it?)
According to the information in that same website, the BIOS available fits the following models:
"Satellite 2410-414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410-654S, Satellite 1410-814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304S, Satellite 1410-354, Satellite 2410-601, Satellite 1410-401, {color:#ff0000}*Satellite 1410-604*{color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410-S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410-S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410-554, Satellite 1410-S102, Satellite 1410-354E, Satellite 2410-703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410-S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410-603, Satellite 1410-902, Satellite 1410-313, Satellite 1410-802, Satellite 1410-714, Satellite 2410-354, Satellite 2410-514, Satellite 1410-614, Satellite 1410-704, Satellite 2410-515, Satellite 2410-504, Satellite 2410-702, Satellite 1410-S103"
Yes... it's there!
Now, when you go to the "Toshiba BIOS-Update Information", you get:
"FAQ Ref.: TRO0000000b07
A BIOS update is a {color:#ff0000}*relatively simple operation and can be carried out by most competent computer users*{color}. All BIOS upgrades can be obtained from "BIOS Update" Download Section click here..
Note: The BIOS files are machine specific so the correct BIOS for your machine must be used."
Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage the handling of BIOS, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do so. This is not necessary bad, but at the same time they encourage people to 'play around' with such a delicate matter, at the end of that same page, in little letters they say:
"Toshiba provides this information "as is" {color:#ff0000}*without warranty of any kind*{color}, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Toshiba shall not be responsible for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. {color:#ff0000}*Toshiba is not liable for any damage caused by the use of any information provided, including information that is incomplete or incorrect*{color}."
This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.
+"Human error is inherent to humans, and it is not possible to erradicate. It will allways appear, sooner or later" (Prof. James Reason).+
And finally I made the mistake. Even though I read that warning, I remembered all those successfull BIOS update with COMPAQ, and relied in Toshiba. That update was available there, and Toshiba was telling me that it was for this computer. Great!
So finally I unplugged all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN),plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then from within windows I started the updater (windows version, as recommended by Toshiba). Everithing looked fine, nothing different of what I used to see on those old COMPAQs.
As warned by the updating program, the system was going to reboot. And actually it did so.
Windows closed quite normally (a bit quicker than normal, but without errors, and since there were no other programs than the essentials -even the antivirus was not running-), the computer switched of, all lights off (normal), and then it switched on again...
{color:#0000ff}*BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... BEEEEP...*{color}
OMG! I never espected something THAT bad. 3-1-1!
And now... What a 3-1-1 stands for here? Award BIOS would mean no video card or deffective video card, but it is not true, since it was working up to 20 seconds ago. It must be the BIOS.
It never came again to life. It is still beeping 3-1-1.
But now comes the investigation of the human-factors involved in this accident.
I found I commited the following failures:
*(1)* To rely in the manufacturer, even though they WROTE their information could be wrong or incomplete. (BAD if I were a QA&QC inspector).
*(2)* I didn't cross checked deeply enough (until it was already too late).
*(3)* I didn't looked previously for the way to make a backup of the BIOS, in order to restore should anything go wrong.
*(4)* Let Toshiba lead me to a path I didn't want to walk, just because of their offer of "increased functionality".
*(5)* Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be carried out by most competent computer users"... they never said it is failproof.
Then I started the most interesting part of the investigation.
{color:#0000ff}*"What went wrong?"*{color}
Obviously, the BIOS update failed somehow, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.
First thing I discovered was that there are another search engine in Toshiba called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked there in order to see if for any chance I could get the old 1.20 BIOS version that was installed originally in that machine.
And I found something... VERY interesting:

GOOD! Or not?
Let's take a look:
First thing I did was download everything all four files.
Then I took the same version that made the crash: 1.40
Than I uncompressed the file, and I found:

And I got my first surprise here: There is a {color:#ff0000}*README.TXT*{color} that was not present in the file I downloaded previously from the drivers repository.
So I went to the readme.txt and I found this:
"README.TXT 01-31-2003 CDC

Please note that the model 1410-604 is *NOT* listed.
I thought "well, it must be another archive..."
But then I realized of a name that sounds familiar, it was there, in the directory where I uncompressed this 1.40 file, and the name is:

So I took the other file, the BIOS_Win update, and I discovered that the file name is:

So I uncompressed it again, to find:

No readme file...
Then another question arised in my mind: What about the other 1.40 file? What does the other 2410A9V140.EXE have inside?
This:

*{color:#ff0000}They both have 20 files, and 1,046,461 bytes. I asumed they are both the SAME file{color}*.
And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, therefore I cannot explain this except as a mistake from Toshiba. *{color:#ff0000}They put an incorrect BIOS in their website, and suggested the update, and somehow leaded to this kind of errors.{color}*
(Except in the case that one of those models is a different name of the 1410-604 model, and if it is the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).
The worst part is that neither of those other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, therefore there seems no possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 for this CMOS, and Toshiba seems not to have it. They offered me to solve the problem, by leaving the notebook at an ASP, and paying only 95€ for the work and about 280€ for a motherboard replacement, I will get it solved. But they offer no warranty of their possibilities because is a model 'too old' and 'discontinued' and with 'no support'...
In other words, they said "don't bother with this, just go out there and buy a new one" (something absolutely out of my scope in this crisis-time) :P
Thank you for reading soooo far.
Now what I need is to get any ideas of a workaround for this, my ideas are:
(1) This CMOS has a boot-part that still works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn into the CMOS, from the VERY SAME model (a BIOS backup) but the backup must be adequate for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).
(2) It is still possible that the BIOS could be OK but the data on the CMOS got somehow corrupted. If so, clearing the CMOS could solve de problem. But I was not able to find a clear cmos button from outside, and after disasembling I took of the battery, with no good results. I have to try leaving the MOBO without battery for longer period (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case 20 seconds don't allow all the capacitors to fully go to zero values. I have not much hope in this point.
(3) Try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted several times technical support, and I was able to verify they are only phone-operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem goes-out-of-scope they fall always in the same answer: "you have to go to an ASP". I still have a low hope to find someone who really knows a bit, and could enlighten with a good BIOS to put in this disks.
(4) As far as I could find, this BIOS is not from any known BIOS-maker. It seems it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), therefore the Crisis Recovery Disk from Phoenix will not be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba's BIOS. But I'm open to any ideas, that could be tested more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature is still working, I don't want to loose this only possibility of redemption).
Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a long-post falks! Sorry for that!
Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.
Should anyone give some hints or advice, will be greatly appreciated.
Please don't say what I shouldn't do... I already know that. I already researched and already found my mistakes, in order not to repeat them. Now I need to move on, to advance, and to try to solve this, or at least learn how to solve similar things. As much as possible.
Thank you again, in advance, and sorry again.

Changed subject to beter reflect what is the matter about (apparently erroneous BIOS file in Toshiba download center).

Well. 
 
It's not dead, certainly. 
 
The steps that I put in my procedure were: 
 
--> There are two memory sims, that I am going to identify as M1 and M2 
--> There are two memory banks, that I am going to identify as A and B 
 
Next step in order to identify if there are some module or bank that is not working properly are: 
 
The modules were installed as: 
 
M1 --> A 
M2 --> B 
 
1--> Boot without any memory chip. 
 
<blockquote>
A--> X 
B--> X 
</blockquote>
 
2--> Boot with ONE module 
 
<blockquote>
A-->M1 
B-->X 
</blockquote>
 
3--> Boot with the OTHER module 
 
<blockquote>
A--> X 
B--> M2 
</blockquote>
 
4--> Boot with BOTH modules swapped: 
 
<blockquote>
A--> M2 
B--> M1 
</blockquote>
 
5--> Boot with ONE module swapped: 
 
<blockquote>
A--> M2 
B--> X 
</blockquote>
 
6--> Boot with the OTHER module swapped: 
 
<blockquote>
A--> X 
B--> M1 
</blockquote>
 
At this point I got a great difference. It booted, finally. But in order to make a diagnostic, I have to complete the full test, and the results were: 
 
1--> Boot without any memory chip. 
 
A--> X 
B--> X 
 
NOT BOOTING Actually the computer not even tries to read the disk. Only the power led turns on, but even prior to press the 'on/off' button. I think this indicates 'no memory installed'. I would have expected a post failure beeps, but there were no beeps at all. 
 
2--> Boot with ONE module 
 
A-->M1 
B-->X 
 
BOOTED NORMALLY Well. This obviously means that the 3-1-1 beep code means memory error, or one bank failing of two installed. Now I didn't know if the problem was the module, or the bank B. 
 
3--> Boot with the OTHER module 
 
A--> X 
B--> M2 
 
NOT BOOTING Just like the condition in 1. Like no memory installed, therefore there are two possibilities: The bank B is not working, or the memory module M2 is not working. 
 
4--> Boot with BOTH modules swapped: 
 
A--> M2 
B--> M1 
 
NOT BOOTING Just like previous to test condition. Beep code 3-1-1, no boot at all. 
 
5--> Boot with ONE module swapped: 
 
A--> M2 
B--> X 
 
NOT BOOTING This was the important test, because it finally let me determine that the problem is at the module 2 (M2) not at the bank B. But still there could be a failure IN THE BANK B and IN THE MEMORY MODULE 2. Have to do the other test. 
 
6--> Boot with the OTHER module swapped: 
 
A--> X 
B--> M1 
 
BOOTING NORMALLY This really confirmed there is nothing wrong with ANY bank, but one of the modules is not working, actually is not being even detected. This is quite weird, because this computer was working perfectly with those two modules, and in the moment of the BIOS upgrade it seems to fail... How come? 
 
Something weird happened here. I don't know what, but something ruined one memory module (fortunately only one), what I would like to know now is what happened. But at least I have the machine running, with very low memory, but running. 
 
What I am thinking now is what about this BIOS upgrade makes the motherboard not to recognize one of the modules for some reason? 
 
<img class="jive-emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt=":)" /> 
 
I will continue my research, but certainly the memory made the difference. 
 
I am not sure why I didn't discover this before, I think I didn't perform this test before, for two reasons: 
 
(1) I tried to boot with no memory, and this was impossible, so I assumed that the problem was not at the memory. 
 
(2) When I heard the beep code (3-1-1), somewhere I read it was a video problem, and I asume most probably it was a video problem (since no video at all was being displayed) but I should have take into consideration that Phoenix BIOS also means with the same 3-1-1 a DMA problem (memory problem). 
 
Okis... It's a pitty having to wait so much between a post and it's approval. I posted my answer two days ago, and since it didn't appear, I believe It didn't upload, so I replied again, and also didn't appeared... until now. It is obvious that a moderator approval is required. That's why I have to wait 24 hours or more to read my post. This slows this forum effectiveness. 
 
Thank you very much for your help. I'll keep you informed. Until we get to a final diagnosis and solution.

3000 J115 7387 - Current BIOS 2NKT31A doesn't support 4gb RAM

I have a Lenovo 3000 Desktop J115 7387-26u and the current BIOS, just downloaded and tested from Lenovo's "support" site, doesn't support 4gb of RAM properly. I have dual 2gb DIMMs, for a total of 4gb, and both Lenovo's PC-Doctor diagnostics and another memory scanner report to me that I have 4gb. See this screen print showing PC-Doctor's RAM report compared to what Windows "sees".
When I boot the system, the BIOS only reports 3006mb RAM is present. Clearly it's recognizing both DIMMs. I've swapped the DIMMs and the results are the same.
Lenovo, PLEASE RELEASE A BIOS that properly supports what the system claims to support!

Two things. First, "just so you know", the Lenovo 3000 J115 7987 is an Athlon 64 X2 (which you would know if you checked the system specs),and second, I'm talking about the BIOS failing to recognize the RAM that the system specs claim it should be recognizing. This is regardless of OS.

Why can I not find the primary video setting in Bios so I can change it from integrated to PCIE?

I have purchased a new video card to add to my computer which has integrated graphics. When I installed the card I got a blank screen so I removed the card and restarted the computer and entered BIOS in an attempt to change it from integrated to PCIE the problem is I cannot find the option to make the change. I can select advanced chipset but there is no primary video option to select and as far as I can tell there is no option to switch it from integrated to PCIE.... I researched this heavily and am now resorting to this as I cannot find a way to get the video card to work. I have posted the options I have in my system's Bios below.

GTX 660M black screen with Nvidia driver, maybe a BIOS problem

Hello Svet,
I need help with this please, if it is indeed a BIOS problem:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254620.0
My laptop uses the Aptio Setup Utility Version 2.10.1208
BIOS Version: E16F2IMT.300
BIOS Build: 05/31/2011
EC Version 16F2EG61 Ver4.22
EC Build 04/21/2011
I found a new BIOS for it following the link from the Power Pro official site, but I have no idea if it would do the job.
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT683.html#down-driver
This is my laptop:
PowerPro R 11:36-560

If you can help me, I will gladly donate.
Thank you,

Ok, from you're answer I understand that flashing the GPU with a compatible vBIOS is either not a solution for the problem,
yes don't think that can help for this case
and also will be high risky to brick your card
and even if its not bricked[survive flashing] don't think that can change anything
eventually you can try flashing your system notebook BIOS to the latest version for your notebook,
to check if that can helps by chance.
For it you have to ask your notebook vendor [power notebooks]
to provide you with the latest BIOS for your NB
rather than this don't think any modded stuffs can help with this.

Hp the system recovery media does not support this computer, WIN7 GS72 Notebook

HProduct: GS-B66US (17" I3 notebook)
OS: Win7
Bios Rev: F.47
Error message: "hp the system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system"
Changes made to system: Updated bios (I think).
Getting error messages (at system boot, as windows start, and from the intel hard drive controller) warning me to backup data and hard drive my fail.
I replaced the harddrive and inserted the first of my 4 recovery DVDs (created before I updated the bios). After booting from the first recovery disk I get the following message
"hp the system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with the media"
The computer still boots with the old hard drive (with drive failure imminent messages) I do see support assistant offering another bios update but I did not install it with the hard drive problem
PLEASE HELP
TIA

Hi,
I think there could be two possible reason. wrong media or systemboard is changed.
did you create any recovery media yourself or you ordered the recovery media from hp? also, was there any systemboard replacement done before?
media created on some other computer (same model) may not work on your computer.
you can order the media from hp.com here.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00810334
also once systemboard is replaced you need to get the configuration settings done for BIOS(only HP can do it).
hope it helps

WW
