  • How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID mirror? Z87-G45

    How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID with Z87-G45?   I'm using a simple two drive, RAID 1 mirror setup.
    I'm currently at bios 1.4, and want to move up.  However, last time I upgraded the BIOS, the machine rebooted with improper settings for the RAID (they get hosed during BIOS flash) and Windows decided to auto-repair the only boot drive it could see, one half of the mirror, because it couldn't see the RAID array correctly and *POOF*  bare-metal reinstall required.   
    My PC will not let me press the DEL key on bootup to access the bios, even with MSI Fast Boot not installed.  It just ignores the DEL key and tries to load windows which, if that happens, will flame-out my RAID array after a bios flash if I can't catch it to enable the RAID first before windows loads.
    I do not want to rebuild my PC again simply because I do a BIOS update.

    FYI: BIOS 1.4 & 1.8 are using the same RAID version: 12.7.0.1936
    based on this RAID surprise should not hapends.
    But as pandaz says if you have no issues, leave bios update alone.
    there are still risks something to messed up,
    best do a backup of your data just in case if you want to try latest version

  • How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

    Hello!
    I have recently decided to upgrade my RAM from 2GB to 4GB. After installing, I booted up my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing a bit of troubleshooting, I decided to try and update the BIOS, as the version was from 2010. I downloaded the BIOS update boot CD application from lenovo, burned a disc, and on reboot I found that the boot order did not have CD listed on it. Here's the catch: I don't have the supervisor password. This is a hand-me-down laptop, and I have tried to find the password to no avail. This is the current boot order: USB drive, Hard drive. 
    My question is, can I either create a BIOS update disc using a USB, or update the BIOS some other way?
    I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having it serviced (which I would rather not do, even if I have to send my RAM back to Crucial)
    My system specs:
    Thinkpad L512
    Bios version: 1.04
    Bios date: 2010-3-26
    Embeded Controller Version: 1.01
    Windows 7 32 bit
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!

    Welcome to the forum!
    Two things here:
    a) If you run System Update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I've never done it on a passworded unit, so it might or might not work but might be worth a shot.
    b) I doubt that the ability of the system to recognize new RAM has anything to do with the BIOS. ThinkPads much older than yours will run 4-8GB RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine to begin with.
    Good luck.

  • MSI H61M-P21 (B3) - Won't start, how can I update the BIOS?

    Hello Everyone!
    I just bought an MSI H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard along with Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge (2.4 GHz) and 1 DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1600 KingMax. I use NJOY 500W true power as power supply. The system starts but no image, no beep code, nothing... Testet with another DIMM of RAM (4GB DDR3 1333 KingMax), but no luck. Tested with another power supply (450w true power), no luck again. I have tested the motherboard out of case, put on an antistatic surface, no luck... Reset CMOS, same situation: no image, no beepcodes...  On the Main BIOS Chip of the motherboard is a little sticker on which is written "E7680IMSH30" - i guess that the motherboard comes 'shipped' with 7680vH3 BIOS.
    Is there a possibility to update the bios without replacing the CPU or send the board to RMA? I'm almost sure that the problem is around here...
    Thanks in advance! Any answer is welcome!
    P.S.: I appologise for my bad english.

    Good morning.
    I've tested the motherboard this weekend with another DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1333, ThermalTake PSU (500W, i don't remember the model) and Core i3-2120 CPU - those components were taken from another IDENTICAL motherboard H61M-P21 (B3) with same version of BIOS. Didn't worked... I have tested my Celeron CPU G530 on the functional H61M-P21 (B3) and it's working...
    So, there is a problem with my mainboard, i will send it to warranty.
    Thanks a lot. Have a nice day!

  • How do I update the BIOS?

    OK, I finally got my Portege R100 salvaged, and it was a struggle!!!  At this point it boots into XP, but I still have a BIOS problem.  My current BIOS is 1.6 (the latest) but it does not behave properly so it does not give me the chance to change the boot sequence.  This keeps me from running the recovery disk so I need to fix the BIOS.
    I have the install packs for 1.6, 1.5, and some of the earlier ones.  If I try to reflash 1.6, it tells me that I already have 1.6 (yeah, thanks for that info).  If I try to "roll back" to version 1.5, it tells me I am not authorized to do that.  So if my BIOS is corrupted and it won't let me reflash the current version, and it won't let me roll backwards, and there is no later version available, what I am supposed to do?
    Normally I could burn an ISO image of the BIOS updater and fix it from the CD, but since I can't boot from the CD drive (because of the BIOS problem) . . . well, you get the idea!  It also doesn't boot from CD even if I change the boot priority in Toshiba HW Setup (and it used to so I know this hardware is compatible).
    Thoughts?

    That uses an external USB cd drive doesn't it?  The only thing I can think of is to make sure the external is plugged in and recognized while in WIndows, then rebooting the system with the bootable CD in the drive, then pray that it actually offers the option to boot to the external.  IF it doesn't I don't know what to tell you as you can't reflash or revert back to a previous flash with a windows based bios flash utility, only one that is run from a self booting disk.   
    This is one of the many reasons why I consider a laptop that without an optical drive to be a fancy toy rather than a real computer.

    Hi,
    Try mydigitallife forums. There are threads about modding BIOSes and accessing the advanced option. It's not recommended by HP so you have to go somewhere else as the modding will cancel your warranty if something goes wrong.

  • How important to update Bios,firmware,driver,utility etc for GS70 Stealth PRO?

    I want to ask how important to update gpu bios, cpu bios, firmware and etc for my GS70 Stealth pro ?
    I never update any of it from February when i purchased this Stealth pro because Im afraid  wrong and  make my Stealth pro broken.
    Thanks for attention and sorry for bad english

    um you cannot update anything inside cpu but you can update bios and firmware for touchpad and such but for bios you shall never update it unless you occure any bios issues where it does not behave propertly then you can update bios but other wise you shall not since some people do it and bam they would kill laptop since they accidentely flashed wrong bios for wrong laptop or so thats why bios is risky to update when you dont know how to and that you shall not do it even laptop is runing fine on it's current bios.

    I can't seemed to update the new BIOS and VBIOS for my GX740 because the MSI downloads and the forum flash won't work with 64bit systems!

    The act of flashing itself, is done in 'pure DOS', which is neither 32bit or 64bit, but 16bit.

  • Tecra M3 - Can't update the BIOS

    Hi,
    I have a Tecra M3 (PTM30E) and TEMPRO is telling they're 2 bios updates for the machine.
    I have downloaded them, but when I run them I am told the computer is not supported. How do I update the BIOS?
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Why to hell do you need a BIOS update?
    Only because the Tempro said that there is a new update?
    Tempro sends only a notification that a new file has been uploaded
    Its not a recommendation that you have to update this!
    So if your notebook runs trouble free dont update anything!!
    I always follow this advice; never change a running system! And its really wise advice

  • Satellite A660-18N - Screen it too bright so how to update the BIOS?

    Hi guys, I need your help with this laptop because it is giving me a lot of problems.
    I have changed the screen of this Satellite A660-18N because the one that was fitted in was damaged. I have installed it and is working fine but I'm having problems with the brightness. When I click - on the brightness it goes up and when I click + it goes down. It's way too bright and want to do something to fix it.
    Does the bios help to fix this problem and how do I flash the BIOS on these laptops? I did flash BIOS on desktop pc but on this I can't see any way of doing it. Is there any way of fixing the screen without changing the BIOS? Some people said that I have to flash the BIOS because new screens wont work 100% with old BIOS.
    Please help
    Thank you

    Thank you very much Xardas for your reply.
    It is 3rd party screen. I bought it from ebay. They said that it's original. It says made from Samsung. The original one was also made from samsung. The guys from Toshiba said that you might have to update bios so that it will accept other screens. I told them which one I bought and they did confirm that it should work fine.
    I wanted to flash the bios with the latest bios and maybe it could work fine. I just don't know how to do it? I did create a bootable usb and placed the bios in it but don't know the command to flash it. I did go in bios but did not find anything that would be helpful to flash.
    I also was thinking to use some kind of software that makes it little bit darker. It's way too bright. My eyes hurt to use it. I always have to use sunglasses.
    If you know anything it really would be helpful.
    Thank you

  • How does live update 6 work with BIOS updates?

    I want to upgrade to the x99 platform but I am concerned with how new it is.  I want to make sure I keep the BIOS updated because of the "newness" of it all and compatibility issues.  Although I have built and continue to upgrade my system I am in no way proficient in trouble shooting or making changes.  So flashing the BIOS always makes me nervous that I will screw something up.  So when I heard that MSI has a program called live update 6 that automatically updates the BIOS it got my interested.
    Can anyone give me some advice on how this program works?  Or are the compatibility issues more an issue of the past when Intel rushed the CPUs out and the MOBO makers had to play catch up?
    Thanks for everyone's advice and help.

    Hi
    Which exactly motherboard you're looking for? If you're afraid of bricking BIOS, then I suggest something like X99 MPower/XPower which has dual BIOS.
    LiveUpdate: downloads the update pack, does some magic within bootup and updates the BIOS. I don't know the exact process it does, but works just like installing a software: download, extract, install. Also MSI offers MFlash which lets YOU go through flashing process: download, prepare USB stick, boot from USB (or use MFlash within BIOS settings) and update.
    Risks: flashing BIOS is always a risk, no matter if it's MSI, Gigabyte or anyone else's brand. It's a chip, that if something goes wrong (for example system is not stable), then motherboard may get bricked and recovery may/may not be possible.
