  • What typically is in a bios and drivers update?

    So I know computers need to update the bios and drivers, but no one has ever explained why. What is in bios or drivers that would need to be updated?

    Hi,
    All computer programs are not perfect therefore from time to time vendors have to release fixes. In many cases, a new fix may introduce new bug(s). Machine readable programs are BIOS, drivers, micro-codes are the same therefore from time to time vendors have to release new fix(es) to imrpove thrie products. Same as application programs and the Operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, DOS ...).

  • 200n Update Bios and Drivers - where?

    Where can you get free driver and Bios updates for Windows 7. 
    Googled Pheonix for Bios and get directed to a site which scans your system giving a list of updates which you find you have to pay $30 for the updates. Lenovo site appears to have nothing for 3000 200n 0769

    Hi bellcart,
    Here's your driver page. 
    What drivers are you looking for?  Do you have unknown devices in Device Manager?  Almost all the drivers on that page are for xp or Vista.  Vista drivers sometimes work for Windows 7.
    I would run Windows Update and check the optional updates for anything you might need.
    Edit:  I would stay away from the drivers update sites.  They say they find drivers in their scan, then you buy it, and then the drivers won't install.

  • Upgrade BIOS and drivers have possibly corrupted drive. OS will not boot.

    Model: Toshiba P505-8980
    Part Number: P6PG0U-005002
    OS:  Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (upgraded from Home Premium)
    6 gig RAM, 500gig HD
    Actions:
    I haven't started up my computer in a while.  First I installed the critical and optional updates (3 total) from windows update, rebooted, and Toshiba Service Center popped up and said that there was the BIOS 3.10 update and the HDD/SSD Alert update.  Through the Service Center I downloaded and installed the BIOS update, at the end it seemed as if there was an error.  I rebooted the computer and everything seemed ok, so I downloaded the HDD/SSD update through the Service Center.  Upon rebooting the drive would not boot.  (Screen remained blank with a blinking cursor and HDD light was not on.)  There are no accessories/USB devices/drives attached.  After a reboot I checked the BIOS and it recognizes the Hard drive, I restored all settings in BIOS to default and rebooted.  The computer started receiving stop errors (blue screen) and stuck in a reboot loop.  I entered the BIOS, restored default settings again and rebooted, I could get to safe mode and it would receive stop errors trying to load disk.sys file.  I also tried last known good configuration and that wouldn't work either.  After a while the laptop was able for me to select to try and repair the disk using the repair utility.  It reported that there may be partition errors (on the last step of recovery) and I selected to repartition the drive to factory default with the Toshiba repair tools.  It got to about 98-99% and received errors at the end.  I tried using a Windows disk to reinstall the OS, but it reported it couldn't install on any of the drive partitions because of an error in the boot configurations.  After trying to repair again it doesn't report any disks or partitions.  Currently after booting it reports now that there is an error that occurred while attempting to read boot configuration.  File: \Boot\BCD|Status: 0xc000000f.  Guessing that the boot sector got corrupted.  After reading that BIOS isn't recommended to be installed while in windows, I'm wondering if using the service center messed something up.
    Question 1:  Any recommended actions to take now?  No recovery disk available
    Question 2:  Is there a way to configure the service center to download a BIOS update and be able to save it instead of only being able to install it within windows and the service center?
    Thanks in Advance!

    I was able to get into system recovery.  This system recovery was different then the first one I came across.  Underneath the Command Prompt option there was a selection for a Toshiba based restore.  That is the one I tried that failed at 98-99%  This system recovery just has the standard options.  At first it showed me the original OS of Home Premium (recovered).  I tried to repair the Home Premium and it still wouldn't work.  "Startup could not repair the problem".  On the many tries the probelms were either "Failed Installation" or "Partition Table".  Then when I tried loading the OS it would blue screen and reboot repeatedly.  So I loaded up Windows 7 Professional from a different CD to at least get the OS working.  I tried Repairing but that didn't work with the same errors, and it also reported that there was no system image on the disk.  I did a Custom (fresh) install and had all items copied to Windows.Old folder.  So now I have an OS, BUT I can't activate it now even with the keys that I have from the old version because it said the key was only used for upgrade, not clean installs.  So now I'm left with trying to find a way to get the original Home Premium image so I can load that and then upgrade since I have the keys I need.  I tried doing repairs again, this time it showed me two Windows 7 Professional and one Windows 7 Home Premium.  Again I tried repairing the Home Premium but it came back with the same errors.  Now all that remains is just the fresh install of Windows 7 Professional that I installed but can't activate with the key.  Anyway I can get/download a factory image from Toshiba?  I only just bought the laptop shortly before Christmas.

  • Dividing IVY From Sandy BIOS's and Drivers

    This is not a bash! Only a suggestion to the visiting MSI employees that show up a lot more often nowdays to consider passing along to their bosses. Maybe to help clarify to many unsuspecting product users wanting to update their BIOS and drivers. The Z68A-GD65(G3) is used here for an example;
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68A-GD65--G3-.html#/?div=BIOS
    To eliminate confusion, separate the two from each other. Running Ivy and Sandy together is a recipe to nothing but problems. As for the Driver Section, it has ME7 for Sandy. Granted, the ME8 is part of the driver package download for Ivy, but it is not listed along with the P6 update. Many will miss this important step if trying to use P6 and update to an Ivy CPU.
    Other thoughts;
    Unless planning on running an Ivy CPU with PCI-E 3.0 support, this Ivy update is not recommended in the first place. If an Ivy CPU is wanted along with all the 7 chipset perks it provides, get a Z77 platform people!
    IMHO, only the Z68 (G3)'s really get much of any benefit out of using an Ivy CPU (other than Z77 of course). P67, what do you get? ClickBIOSII and potential problems, problems, problems, that's about it.

    Right, not a 6 series chipset itself problem, but the Ivy UEFI/BIOS interaction dealing with the 22nm and 32nm processors.
    Maybe the goal at MSI will be to offer a single UEFI/BIOS update and associated drivers that covers both CPU architectures without having a need to divide them.

  • Failed vga bios update

    I used the liveupdate 3 to update my vga bios and when it rebooted the computer the videocard wont work now.  I flipped the twinbios to the safe mode but nothing happened.  When i put my old card in it works fine.  Any suggestions?

    Nope, I don't think so, not on the Dongle unless MSI is doing something I do not know about.
    The Jumper is located on the card itself, please refer to the manual for the location.
    If you have flashed the wrong BIOS:
    The MSI cards have a dual bios feature.
    Move the jumper to 2'nd position (there is only one jumper on the cards).
    Boot with the secondary bios
    Move jumper back while system is up and running
    Use live update again (the backup bios is not being overwritten since you moved the jumper back).

  • Computer Freezes when testing VGA Bios

    I have a K8T Neo-FIS2R, AMD 64 3200, 1GB Kingmax ram, PNY GF4 Ti 4200, WinXP SP1.
    One day I left my computer on for ten hours, when I came back the computer was was still on but nothing was working, I restarted the computer and it stopped at "testing VGA Bios" and didn't continue. I had problems with my power supply when I first built my computer, so I got a Enermax 460W (yes I plugged in the 12V too). That didn't work. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my motherboard and/or my videocard.
    I hate Tech support.

    Test with another videocard...see what happens....

  • MSI Geforce 3 WDM and bios problem plz help!!!

    Hi
    I have a MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Pro-VT and when i install any detenator driver above 23.11 then the capture card wont work! The driver for the capture device says it wont start so i am stuck with 23.11. I have tries later WDM drivers and detenator drivers but they all give the same problem! I have also tried to flash the bios but live update 2 says Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function which it is supposed to have. When i go directly to the bios page and try to update it then the update fails. The flash program seems to think that i have a different card or something but my  system information says that i do. This it the information:
    VGA Card Manufacturer MSI
    VGA Card Model Name MS-8850
    VGA Card BIOS Vendor NVIDIA
    VGA Card BIOS Version 3.20.00.18.03  
    VGA Card Driver Version 2311
    Can someone please help me cause it would be nice to have the latest drivers working for the card.
    Thanks
    Nixus

    I downloaded the bios files from http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/ and then downloaded NVFLASH.EXE and booted in dos and flashed the card i had to force the flash though it had some conflict of data or something but i knew it was the right bios and i had made a backup of the current one plust the card has dual bios so i wasnt too worried and it all worked out fine.
    Goodluck with gettin all your cards workin
    Cheers

  • VGA bios - Geforce 4 MX 460 VTP

    Hi
    How download the VGA Bios for my Geforce 4 MX 460 VTP ???
    thanks

    you have to use Live Update to search any BIOS image. However, i dont recommend you to do this because Live update is known to make die video boards. If you have any problem related to BIOS, it is better to keep dealing with those problems instead of getting a death video card. Anyway if you really want to flash the BIOS, first look for a green jumper on the card. It is the TwinBIOS function, to recover original BIOS without losing the video card. If you dont have this jumper, then i STRONGLY recommend not to flash your video card BIOS!

  • Flash bios and vga questions

    hi
    i looked on the bios update page today and could see that there was some new bios.
    bios v3.6 updates vga bios.
    does anyone know the difference between the vga in bios v3.3 and bios v3.6
    im using bios 3.5 and it works great so i dont want to flash it if its not necessary or it would improve gfx as i use onboard gfx.
    bye

    Raven,
         Actually 3.7 is out and it seems to have (so far so good) fixed the boot problem with my ATI Radeon card.  According to MSI it claims it is a fix for the 5900's. I had no trbl flashing as usual. If your machine is running fine and your not having any troubles why flash it, leave good enough alone. I know what you mean about not having a computer. I have a few backups because I don't want to be without one. I go on vacation, I have to bring my laptop to keep in touch.  I remember when my life was so simple.  )

  • Downgrade vga bios

    Hi ,
    I have a NX6600GT VTD128 and I have updated  ( big mistake ) the vga bios to the latest version using Live update.
    The current bios is 5.43.02.64.00 but I don't have the previous one.
    The thing is that i lost the temp readings from the display manager .
    Is there any way I can retrieve the previous bios version?
    I did the upgrade because I had some artifacts when using 3d models in Autocad and when playing games ( Freelancer ) and I still
    having them even after formatting the HDD.
    After formatting I use first the MSI drivers , I unistall them and use the latest NV drivers (Fware 93.71 )
    Still the same.   
    thanks

    Coolbits is simply a small file that adds registry entries so that hidden capabilities in the nVidia settings panel become available.  You can get Coolbits from Guru3D, http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=815 .   RivaTuner has even more capabilities, http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner&menu=8
    Quote from: Guru3D
    Software Description
    Coolbits 2 unleashes hidden function within ForceWare drivers, it enables several new Direct3d and OpenGL configuration tabs, and even more tweaking capability from the nVidia taskbar settings panel.
    FAQ:
    Q. I dont see the temperature settings, is this due to my card?
    A. The temp settings panel is only available with cards equipped with thermal sensors. Some cards that I know of have temp sensors are 5700 Ultra, 5800 Ultra, 5900 non-Ultra and Ultra, and 5950 ultra. But really it all comes down to the manufacturer. I have seen some 5700 and 5900 without temp sensor, but mainly the cheaper XT/LX/SE versions.
    Q. The Fan always on doesn`t seem to work
    A. The 'fan always on' option is for cards with the OTES (i.e. 5800U) or similar cooling system in which shuts off in 2d mode. It will force fan on even in 2D mode. Of course this means the fans on the hs/f be designed such a way that this option can work.
    Q. I thought it enabled Opengl 2.0. It doesn't though.
    A. OpenGL Shading Language 2.0 can only be enabled on 55.xx and higher Forceware drivers. It had not yet been implemented in older Detonator or pre 55 Forceware drivers.
    Q. Where is the application profiles page?
    A. It has been disabled to allow for OpenGL and Direct3d tabs. You can re-enable the application profiles page by changing its respective value to 1 in the coolbits file.
    If you experience any minor problems, simply uninstall/reinstall your display driver. I would recommend using Driver Cleaner as well, especially when switching driver versions.
    Unpack the achive (self extracting) and then in the setup directory simply click on the .reg file. To get to these options simply right-click on your desktop and go to 'NVIDIA Analog Display' (Win XP/2003). For Win 2000 and lower you may need to get to the Nvidia Control Panel the old way. Right click desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > GeForce xxxx
    *NOTE: Coolbits 2 is not fully compatible with driver versions older than 55.xx. If you do happen to run this tweak with drivers older than 55.xx you will more than likely get errors at startup! To enable full compatibility, you must disable the options that are causing issues with your current setup.

  • VGA Bios questions...

    My VGA card is MSI FX5600-TD256.
    Here are my questions:
    1)Which is the latest Bios version for my card? My current version is 4.31.20.39.00. Is there a newer one? Searching through the web I found another version including this text in the read me file:
    Quote
    MSI GeForce FX BIOS
    Name     : GeForce FX 5600 BIOS
    Version  : 4.31.20.69.00    Ultra : No
    2)Is it worth updating the bios? (I have restart problems probably caused by graphics card...)
    3)Which is the proccess I have to follow to update it? (Just copy the .rom file in a disk and boot from that disk??)
    4)Why in MSI site there are no VGA Bios files?
    5)How do I back up my current VGA bios version?
    Thanks in advance...

    If MSI live Update finds no BIOS upgrade then there is no BIOS upgrade available. Even if there is one available, I don't recommend updating VGA BIOS unless there is a known documented issue relating to your problem. As far as I know there is no issue currently. I have not come across this issue in these forums either.
    I don't have any answers to your restart problem since you did not provide any details of this restart problem. I cannot guarantee I would even if you did, but do so anyway.
    I never update VGA BIOS's so I can't help you on backing up your current VGA BIOS. Someone else will have to step in for that.
    The MSI site doesn't archive VGA BIOS files for the public. MSI only updates the original VGA BIOS from nVidia in circumstances such as when they decide to use a different RAM package than specified from nVidia spec. Oftentimes I see users reporting that MSI Live Update hosed their VGA BIOS after an update and in a few circumstances I have been able to request the original BIOS file.
    Again, it's not worth updating the VGA BIOS as they get it right the first time and they hardly ever deviate from the original nVidia BIOS unless a certain RAM package is used for say an OEM version of the card or a performance version where they may use a faster package etc.
    I recommend looking elsewhere for your restart problem.

Maybe you are looking for
