Edge 15 won't boot after BIOS upgrade

Hi everyone. 
I have a Lenovo Edge 15 and I recently (as in, this morning) tried to upgrade the Bios from the support site for the Haswell i5. 
I downloaded the exe, let it run and received the notification that my computer would restart. I just it do it's thing, it goes into the BIOS and appears to be install the bios fine, and then I receive a notice my laptop would restart. 
But, once it restarted, it set went into a boot menu. I select the HDD where my OS is installed but the screen goes blank and then (appearantly after restarting) goes back to the boot screen. 
I can get into the BIOS fine but I cannot get past the boot menu. 
I tried opening my laptop, disconnecting the battery and the CMOS battery (I think it's a CMOS battery), plugged/put them back in and I still have the same issue. 
Any ideas as to what the issues is? 

Blink code indicated BIOS corruption. Try Roll back of BIOS:

You have to try this many times, the timing of holding the keys together is very important 1-3 seconds.
If that doesn't work I'd probably affected your hardware, you may have to contact HP.

  • Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

    Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
    Things I've tried so far:
    1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
    2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
    3. Holding shift, no luck.
    4. Holding X, nothing.
    How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
    If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
    It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

  • Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

    Hi there,
    I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
    I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1. 
    The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios. 
    I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on. 
    I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29... 
    This is what I did so far"
    I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
    I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound. 
    I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
    I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377   but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt. 
    I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
    Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
    Thank you very much,
    Mark

  • AP350 won't boot after IOS upgrade

    I have an AP350 and after I upgraded the IOS to 12.2.15-JA it won't boot. In monitor mode it tells me there are no bootable images available. I see the new image there. I was having issues with the authentication on this box. This was the reason to upgrade the box to begin with. Now I have more problems here. If anyone can help please I could use it. The old directory where 12.2.13-JA1 was in is not there and the new image is not in a directory either if that helps.

    Please read the attachment. It shows you how to recover IOS from bootstrap. Specifically, please go to "Using the MODE button" in "Reloading the Access Point Image"
    As a side note, you cannot use HTTP interface to upgrade IOS software starting 12.2(15)JA. Below is from release notes:
    TFTP Required to Upgrade 1200 Series Access Points to this Release
    Software upgrades fail when you use the web-browser interface to install Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)JA on 1200 series access points. The image size exceeds the access point's 4-MB restriction for software upgrades. Use TFTP to upgrade your 1200 series access point to this release.

  • Satellite A200 PSAEOE won't boot after memory upgrade

    Hi, I am first time here.
    I have bought a Toshiba A200 PSAE0E-03J02JDR with 2 GB ram memory. I bought a pair of Corsair ram (2*2GB VS2GSDS667D2). After I installed the memory the computer won't boot. I have intel 945 chipset, which is capable of 4 gb (manual page1-2). The bios version is 1.8 from 2007.
    Can anyone help me, please.
    Message was edited by: ovidiu marian

    Hi
    The A200 series supports different chipsets;
    Intel 945PM
    Intel 945GM
    Intel 943GML
    As far as I know your notebook supports the *Intel 943GML* chipset and this chipset supports max 2GB RAM.
    Take a look in your notebooks user manual *Page 18.*
    Summery: 4GB RAM are not possible and therefore your notebook does not boot up.

  • GE60 2OC won't boot after RAM upgrade...

    Hi forum
    I just upgraded my laptop ge60 2oc 014ne, with two 8 GB corsair value select sticks.
    Now my machine won't boot. I hit the button, the power light turns on, then the harddrive indicator lights for a while... And then it just stands there... Nothing shows on the screen..
    Any help? Please..
    Cheers

    another thing is that you can't put in more RAM than the notebook came shipped with right?
    If it originally had 8GB over 2 slots you can't put in more than 8GB in the entire notebook right? (I thought I read something about that somewhere....)
    Nope. Not true.
    In most cases it's restricted by 1 of 3 things....either the CPU, the IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) or the BIOS.
    MSI is pretty good about NOT restricting it via the BIOS in some way.
    Usually it ends up being the IMC that restricts it, either via a maximum memory (say 32 GB) or via a maximum amount of memory per module (say 8GB).
    Either way, the GE60 I believe should support up to 16GB of memory. I think it should come with 2 memory sockets. You need to ensure that they are 1.35V compatible given the fact that you have a Haswell system.
    http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE60-2OC.html#specification
    Confirms that it has 2 memory sockets, and supports up to 16 GB of memory, so 2 x 8GB sticks.

  • X79A-GD45 windows 7 freezes during boot after bios upgrade/usb 3.0 drivers inst.

    Hello,
    After I upgraded my bios from 1.3 to 1.4 I noticed I still had some not properly installed hardware in the computer management screen, so I used live update 5 and found the the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers. The system runs fine, except from a cold start.
    When starting the machine, windows freezes on the 4 colour logo, before the usb initializes (this I can tell from the keyboard not lighting up).
    A forced reboot does not help. However, going in the bios (to check if all drives are functional) and then booting, does. After this the machine runs fine again.
    Now my question is, is this caused by the new bios or by the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers? Or is it something completely different?
    Thanks a lot,
    Floris

    Using LU5 often ends up this way doing UEFI/BIOS updates dead board!
    In the future, recommend to use the forum flasher found here with instructions on how to use it; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
    After a flash, it is also recommended to remove the power cord from the PSU, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS & reset.

  • K7n2-L wont boot after bios upgrade

    I have been very happy with the motherboard since i bought it in april 2003, been very stable and only had minor usb problems.  And i finally decided to upgrade the bios from v. 3.7 to v. 4.1.
    After the upgrade the machine boots up to the first windows that shows me the memory and the hard disk i have installed.  I can also go into BIOS.
    But the PC stops when its about to start booting up the HD or CDrom. According to the lights on the D-Bracket its trying to initializing the floppy controller.
    There has never been a floppy drive in this PC before(i booted the PC on CDROM when i upgraded the BIOS).
    I have tried  the following things without success;
    installed a floppy drive.
    Cleared the CMOS(with the jumper)
    Unplugged the cdrom and the hard disk.
    Tried every memory configuration.
    jumped the safe mode jumper.
    It seems to me that i can only fix this by changing the BIOS chip....or the mainboard.
    Anyone had this problem?

    Azraeliz,
    Sounds to me like perhaps you've overlooked a setting in the BIOS
    Did you take note of the BIOS settings prior to flashing so you could put the settings back the way they were?
    nuckelavee,
    I suggest you start your own thread. I have a hard time believing there is no CMOS jumper.
    Tried this? ***Starting your K7N2 Delta2 at default settings***

  • RD230 - Won't boot after BIOS - Server beeps and the screen is blank.

    Hi there,
    I have a problem with one of our RD230.
    The Server seems to be ok. No Errors in BIOS. SATA Raid configured and so on...
    But the server simply won't boot from CD or USB Drive or HDD.
    After the whole BIOS Process the server gives a permanent beep and the Digitron shows code 00. The Screen just shows a blinking cursor top left.
    Nothing happens.
    Removing the RAID, CD Drive, Network Card doesn't help.
    Does anyone have an Idea whats going on with this server?
    Also setting the J45 Jumper doesn't help.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Cheers,
    Chris

    2 Things that can typically fix this issue. Please reseat the memory and if that does not fix it, please reseat the processor.
    Questions
    1 - Has this system worked prior to this or is this an out-of-box failure?
    2 - If it has worked in the past, what changes were made just prior to this issue? (ie Windows Update, BIOS Update, firmware update, driver(s) update, etc.)

  • Not booting after BIOS upgrade in T500

    I upgraded my T500 from BIOS 3.09 to 3.18 using the windows upgrade utility (6fuj42us.exe?). The upgrade went fine. I rebooted the machine and got the login windows screen (I have windows XP professional). However, the instructions of the BIOS upgrade called to enter into the BIOS and press the F9 key in order to set all the system defaults. After that the machine did not boot. It gives me the initial windows booting screen (windows flags) and then a blue screeen. I downgraded the BIOS to 3.15 using the bootable CD utility (6fuj39uc.iso?). The downgrade went fine. I can get into the BIOS but have exactly the same problem when loading windows. Unfortunately I could not find a similar bootable program for BIOS 3.09 only the windows executable program (6fuj34us.exe?). Is there any fix other than reinstalling windows? Thanks.

    Hi malope,
    please enter the Bios and check the HDD is switched to compatible mode instead of AHCI Mode.
    Maybe than you can start Windows.

  • Helix died on me, won't boot after BIOS update

    I just did a BIOS update the other day. No idea what version it is. When I booted it said it "detection error on HDD...". I have since reset the BIOS options to default, and now it boots to a DOS-like boot screen that shows the ATA HDD0 drive. But selecting it and hitting enter just flashes the screen and nothing happens.
    When I attach a USB thumb drive with Linux, it shows up in the options on the DOS-like boot screen, but selecting it won't boot from it.
    The laptop is now totally uselss and I'm losing days of time and it's a major problem. What to do?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello. Assuming that you have not clean installed a new operating system, and you've got the
    original Win8 installation on your Helix.
    Enter your BIOS setup by pressing F1 when the Lenovo logo appears.
    Go to Security - Secure Boot and set it to Disabled if you want to boot any other OS than Win8.
    If you're happy with just running Windows 8 on it, then I recommend Secure Boot to be set to ON.
    Go to Startup - Boot - and on top should be Windows Boot Manager.
    With Secure Boot set to on, UEFI/Legacy Boot is greyed out and set to UEFI Only.
    With Secure Boot set to off, and you want to boot other OS, like Linux, it should be set to both.
    Check these settings and see if your machine boots.

  • HP Omni 10 5600 Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

    The tablet is not loaded (boot) after update bios. The screen was dark during update bios in windows 8.1, there is vibration when you press the power button 5-10sec. Or vibration when you press the touch button Win.  Help please.
    Tell me at least what type of BIOS
    What is the shortcut key startup recovery Bios?

    I had a similar issue. Hold the power button for approximatel 6-10 seconds and see if you see the anything on the screen. It worked for me. Also try and connect a usb keyboard if you have one.
    I would do this with the power supply plugged in to the tablet as well. Good luck.

  • Satellite L300 refuses to boot after BIOS upgrade

    Hi,
    My girlfriend's L300 was lagging terribly so we decided to format C:. We did this with the accompanying XP restore disk.
    Then we had to upgrade the drivers. We started the installation of the BIOS upgrade from the Toshiba driver website, went away for a while and when we came back the computer had restarted of itself.
    It was stuck in a cycle of the "windows loading" screen and the one with a bottom bar that says press F2 for this or F12 for that. Tried all options in the boot menu, not even safe mode works.
    We tried to reformat with the previous method, by inserting XP CD and holding down the 'C' button while starting. We get the familiar 'Windows Setup' screen, and it seems to load all the windows setup files from the CD. But when we get to the installation, we get a blue screen error message. 'A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.....Technical information: ***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    Nothing seems to work, please help! We really want to save the images, on the D: disk partition.

    Hi
    Try to set the BIOS to default settings.
    You have to access the BIOS and there you could set it to default.
    Please check if you can install the OS using the SATA mode -> AHCI and compatible.
    If you use AHCI then you have to include the SATA drivers. If you use the compatible mode, then SATA drivers are not needed.
    If you want to get access to the HDD before installing the OS in the C partition, then I would recommend booting the notebook using a Windows Live CD like WinPE or BartPe.
    Both are live cds which dont need a installation you have to boot from such disk only to get access to the content on the HDD.

  • IMac won't boot after ram upgrade

    For some reason, my iMac late 2013 3.4Ghz quad core i5 won't boot with new ram modules added.  New ram is exact same specs as original that came with the iMac.  I've tested the new ones on their own in the iMac, and the system boots up fine.  Same goes with just using the original ram.  But when I put all 4 together, the iMac doesn't boot up.  Not even the chime.

    I just got off the phone with Apple, and they are saying all modules have to be the same size. ie. all 4GB or all 8GB. Can't mix and match sizes. Which is strange, because I've never heard of this. My Mac Pro has different speed ram modules, with different sizes in it. As long as I install ram in pairs, it runs like a charm. I've even heard the new iMacs don't have to have ram installed in pairs.
    I'm wondering if slot 2 and 4 are maybe damaged? I haven't tried using just slot 2 and 4. To my understanding, you have to use 1 and 3 first. Can anyone confirm this?
    Also, I've read a couple of people had to wait 30 seconds for the chime when they installed new ram in their iMacs.  I didn't wait 30 sec to see if it would boot.  Never heard of any Mac taking 30 sec to just chime in. lol  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a fix?  Tx.
