HP Envy 17 3D Loud Fan after Bios Update to Ver 06 Resolved

I recently updated the Bios (06) in an effort to solve a problem (sp56416.exe).   Shortly thereafter I noticed that the laptop fan would come on high speed for a second or 2 and then immediately ramp down to a slower speed.  This is annoying because of the startle factor and even in slow speed is noisier than earlier.  Today I reloaded the old bios (05)  (sp56028.exe) and the laptop is again quiet!  Suggest caution with this new Bios.   On another topic - has anyone else tried the Bluetooth?   I cannot get my bluetooth mouse to work, although my cell phone has no problems finding the mouse and the laptop. (yes I have checked my settings and tried the laptop and/or mouse in discovery mode.  Laptop just refuses to see any bluetooth device.  

I wish you luck.
I shipped back my Envy 17 the day I got it.
First - it wouldn't power on.  I jiggled the battery and finally got it to work.
Second - one of the fans started squealing.
Third - the fan died.
Fourth - Even thought I paid for "in home" service, HP said I had to ship it back to them for repair.
Instead, I returned it and bought a Dell.  I've owned 10 Dells and never had that kind of trouble.

  • ThinkServer TS140 - Inconsistently loud fans, and BIOS update made it worse?

        This is an unusual request for me to be making, but does anybody have any experience with the fans on a TSx40 ThinkServer randomly ramping up, even when the processors are minimally loaded?
        I have a ThinkServer TS140 that I loaded VMware ESXi 5.5 on that is intended to live in my front office for basic development. Nothing fancy, and really just a couple of simple LInux VM's, generally only one at a time.
    Hardware is:
    ThinkServer TS140 with Intel Xeon E3-1225v3 at 3.2GHz
    Intel PWLA8391GTBLK PRO/1000 GT Desktop Network Adapter
    Adaptec RAID 6405E Storage Controller (2271700-R)
    (2x) WD Red 1TB hard drives (WD10EFRX)
        Out of the box, I would boot the server up, it would be whisper-quiet, and I would work with it as needed. This is my first Lenovo purchase, and I was very impressed with the performance-and-silence-to-cost ratio. Then, one night when I left the server running without any VM's even powered on, I came in to find the fans ramped up to full speed. I couldnt explain why, so I restarted the server and it returned to normal. This has happened a number of times, and I cant figure out why.
        This morning I tried performing a BIOS update to 8A8 using the DOS Utility, and the update went well....but now the fans are ramped up all the time!
        I have the BIOS power settings on "Best Acoustic Performance", and I'm not sure what else to do...
    Is this an issue with using non-Lenovo hardware in the server, specifically the network card or RAID adapter?
    I'm open to any suggestions, thoughts, ideas, or questions.....thanks!

    Hi,
    Validated is a term used when we have tested and ensured the functionality of a device in the system. Some devices have specific firmware on them (specific to Lenovo). Since there are thousands of potential devices and configurations, it is impossible to test and validate them all. There is a subset of hardware that is tested and approved (validated) and also supported on Lenovo systems. This information can be found on our support site in the documentation section.
    Here is the datasheet for the TS140 which details what is validated and supported on the TS140.

  • Noisy fan after bios update from F13A to F23 on dv6-3102sg (win7 x64 ultimate)

    Hi all,
    After updating firmware on my dv6-3102sg from F13A to F23 the fan is very noisy after login at windows 7 x64 ultimate (fan goes to near 100%).
    CPU, network, hdd load @ near 0% and CPU temperature ~ 30°C (~90°F) but the fan is noisy.
    I tried a lot of things (f.e. uninstalling new installed software/driver, some bios settings, ...) but after downgrading firmware back to F13A solved the problem.
    I'm a little bit angry, because I also have bluetooth problems with F23 (see link) and has bitlocker problems with F13A and F23 (see link).
    I hope any pro is here that can help (sorry for bad englisch).
    Best regards
    Patrick

  • Won't boot after bios update

    My HP Envy 15 - j028TX did a bios update and when I turned the power on later would not boot. I can hear the fan, power button works but nothing comes on the screen at all. No beeps are heard, the caps lock button flashes twice and the f12 button stays on. I've done a hard reset, any suggestions.

    Blink code indicated BIOS corruption. Try Roll back of BIOS:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&docname=c02693833
    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.

  • I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-instal​led on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

    I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
    Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
    I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
    Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on. 
    I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
    I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

    It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

  • After BIOS update Satellite L350-172 doesn't start anymore

    Satellite L350-172 Bios-Update from bios-20090203164614 to bios-201002250
    I just updatet the BIOS of my notebook from 1.60 to 2,20. Now the Notebook doesn't start any longer.
    "It was stopped for reason not to damage the Computer" - blue schreen.
    How can I downgrade the bios again? Or - what have I to change in the bios-settings?

    Hi schuwe,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. How do you tell your BIOS not to restart?
    Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
    Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?

  • After BIOS update DVD driver do not read DVDs anymore - Sat A80

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A80-131 and after bios update (last version 2.5) by windows procedure update, my DVD drive do not read DVD medias anymore. It is possible to read CD medias, but not DVD one.
    Can I reinstall the old bios? Can I reinstall the firmware?
    Thanks
    Ronai Lisboa

    Hi Ronai
    Like Jimi has said in the posting above. It's very unusual that after BIOS updating the DVD drive hasn't read the DVDs.
    Furthermore it's not advisable to use any 3rd party applications to DOWNGRADE the BIOS. Usually only the ASP can downgrade the BIOS. Such procedures are very serious and the wrong procedure can damage the motherboard.
    However, it's nice that you have solved the problem and that the drive works properly.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

    Hi
    after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
    Its show the blue dead screen!
    What can i do?

    Hi
    Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
    Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
    Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
    But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
    Please check this!
    Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

    Hi.
    Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
    bios-20070709111839.zip
    After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
    I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
    What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
    Thanks in advance
    MAT

    > Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
    What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
    You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
    Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
    But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
    Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
    Good luck
    Greetings

  • HP p6230a runs slow after bios update - Getting error BIODHD-8 on Diagnostic Tools

    After bios update my desktop runs so painfully slow it is unworkable.  Disk drive seems to be constantly hammered by processes that don't appear on task manager.  Running 64 bit windows 7 (sp1).  Running the diagnostic tools prior to boot up comes up with error code BIOHD-8 - A SMART test failed on the drive - please contact HP Support.  Ideally would like to get previous version of bios as machine was running well before update. 

    I will ask my HP Employee Expert colleagues about this internally. It will take a while for them to respond.
    the BIODHD-8 error code means your harddrive is failing and must be replaced.
    Back up everything that you possibly can before it fails and no longer boots up into Windows .
    is your notebook still within the standard warranty period of one year? A notebook hard disk is a warranty replaceable item.(no cost to you while within warranty)

  • Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

    my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
    what do i do?

    Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
    Did you flash the BIOS properly?
    Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
    In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
    Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
