I know my motherboard supports it, but will I need a BIOS Update
I can not find a BIOS update ANYWHERE.

You don't need a BIOS update.
When it is stated that a CPU is supported in the motherboard specifications document it means that BIOS support is already present.

KT4V BIOS update needed for 9600XT

I have a KT4V (MS6712) running version 1.0 BIOS (never updated). I tried an ATI Radeon 9600XT a couple of days ago. the system and display went nuts. I figured the card was DOA, but I have since reaad on this board that a newer version of the BIOS was to fix the ATI 9600 problem. Should I try to update my BIOS to run this card since I need to update my system.

Friend, does it means that Mod must have each and every mobo???
I also just an end user of MSI products, just that I've more rights to this manage this forum and trying the best to help up to my knowledge so don't be unreasonable and I've already told you that 8x AGP cards are backward compatible to 4x AGP port.
Btw, I'm glad that you are able to find a way out on your own.

BIOS Update Utility for Win8 x64?

I need to install a BIOS update available for the H430, but Lenovo doesn't offer an update utility that runs under 64-bit Windows. The instructions in the BIOS download say to download an ISO image file and burn it to a CD. That's fine, but I can't find any such file on the Lenovo site.
How do I install a BIOS update on an H430 running Win8 x64?

Hi, when I try to update the BIOS from 1.4 to 1.6 I get the following error message "The image file c:\....\7185v16\AWFL859G.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine" . The reason I am doing an up date is because its detecting my CPU at 0 revs. But when i use another scoket on the MB (system fan) it reads it ok. And when I put the system fan into CPU, its ok as well . Hence the Update. Plus I cant get "live update 3.75" to work as get the following error all the time "service has not started" (not to bothered about this error). I am currently using XP Pro x64 Edition .
Regards
GGMan
ok, let me understand. you want to update because the CPU fan shows 0 rpms in BIOS. if you put the system fan on the CPU fan connector, then it shows a correct value for rpms? then the BIOS is not a problem, but the fan is. did you check if the fan was actually spinning or the connector was properly inserted? anyway, have you also checked if the BIOS version you want to flash to contains a fix for your problem? you can see that in the BIOS release notes.
it seems to me that you are trying to flash with the wrong BIOS. make sure that if you flash, you use the correct one for your mobo.

MrGamer101, welcome to the forum.
Here is the model made by EVGA. Look in the tab titled "Details" for the full specs. It says that the card is 9" in length. I suggest making a template the size of the card to see if it will fit into the space with good airflow. When gaming or doing video intensive tasks a lot of heat is developed. It is a PCI Express 3.0 x16 and the slot in the motherboard is PCI Express 2.0 x16. The 3.0 is backward compatible. If it will fit properly into the space, it should work without any problems.

Hi @aliens1983
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp you are unsure of the exact model notebook you have as the auto detect states you have the Pavilion dv6-6b13ss but the sticker on the bottom states it is Pavilion dv6 6166ee .
It is most likely the former as that is what the tool detected after scanning your system for information.
Here is a link to How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? that may also help to clarify this for you.
Here is a link to the HP Pavilion dv6-6b13ss Entertainment Notebook PC Support And Drivers where it does list the latest recommended bios update as F.1C.
I hope this helped.

Satelitte Pro A200 PSAE4E - What BIOS I need for update and how to do this?

Guidance please on A) the correct update version required B) the process
A) the machine came with Vista installed but it was down graded to XP to work on the Win2003/XP network.
The current bios Vers V5.20 do I upgrade to Vers 2.60 - win 32 (vista) or 5.60 Win
B) Toshiba FAQ - FAQ Ref.: TRO0000000b07 lists how to upgrade the bios unfortunately it does not list the Satelitte Pro A200 - so what is the procedure - thanks in anticipation.

Hi!
If you want to update the BIOS you need the version 5.60. The other version are for Vista and only 5.60 is for XP and so its the right one for you.
The BIOS update procedure is pretty easy. The update is Windows based that mean you can update it on Windows. Therefore extract all files from the zip archive and start the exe file. Then your BIOS will be updated.
But before you update it, close all running programs even your AntiVirus and Firwall and connect the AC/DC adaptor.
Good luck!
Bye

Searching for BIOS Update (UEFI) for HP 650 - need the right Version

Hey there,
my Bios is broken and for recovering I need:
BIOS Update Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
for HP 650
Can someone help me?

Thanks for the information. It does help.
If you removed the original partitions then you are correct, UEFI is no more. That is why the Startup menu does not appear.
You will need to use the recovery disk set or USB thumbdrive media that you created and put aside. That was your plan "b". Booting into Recovery Manager and performing a factory image recovery will restore the original partitioning scheme and the UEFI environment.
There does exist a possibility of recovering a BIOS.
Put a BIOS ROM file on the root of a USB thumbdrive formatted in FA32.
Plug it into a USB port.
Plug in the power adapter and verify that the power led is lit.
Press the Power button and hold the Windows key and tap the "B" key
Your notebook may recover the BIOS at that point.
There is no guarantee that this will work. You may end up having to send it in to HP to recover the BIOS and operating system.
I will edit this and supply a link to a BIOS right here. Use the F.12 version on this page. You will need Winrar or winzip or 7zip to extract it from the softpaq and copy to the thumbdrive.
Best regards,
erico

Bios updat help for msi x99s mpower board

Does anyone know the link for the msi x99s mpower motherboard bios updates ? i have the msi x99s mpower black and yellow motherboard i'm looking for the bios update link. because when i try to play game like csgo and h1z1 my game lags real bad and i know it is not the internet because i have tried 3 other pc on same line they all work fine and i even had my graphics card and hdd tested they all are fine so i am hoping it might be a bios issue

Quote from: Chike on 06-March-15, 10:07:20
First I don't think you or anyone should put up with having only 3 channel memory when they paid for 4. If the board or CPU are faulty they should be replaced.
You can start with MemTest86 or MemTest86+. MemTest86 has multi CPU test option that is more real life like, I don't know about MemTest86+, haven't used it for quite long time.
Before using Prime95, make sure you have CPU/Core temperature monitoring software such as RealTemp, Core Temp, HWiNFO, or CPUID HWMonitor.
Prime95, I assume th 64-bit version, but this create a lot of heat, what cooler do you have?
You can choose to run 6 threads instead of 12, it should be stressfull enough, also you can add the line Code: [Select]
CpuSupportsFMA3=0 to local.txt to disable FMA3 instructions that are more stressful on the CPU but not necessarily on memory.
If it is still too hot (>70c) add Code: [Select]
CpuSupportsAVX=0Do not close the window to stop the test, select exit from the file menu.
Or you can try OCCT which is all-in-one, stress + monitoring in one program. Select Large Data Set to stress memory. It also runs somewhat cooler than Prime95.
trust me i agree i talked to msi support and got no help they just kept telling me they know about the issuse and should have a fix for it soon, But yet i have seen many people say they have the same problem over 5 months now....... So i just talked to amazon and they said no problem they will give me a refund so now i need to find a good board to work with my i7 5820k 2011-3 pcu

Armada 1580DMT BIOS Update needed

Hello from Bulgaria
I'm a HP Compaq user from forever and I've always been happy with the laptop products. I currently own a Pavilion dv6-1080eq.
I still keep the first laptop I got, it's an Armada 1580DMT. I want to bring this old fighter back to life, so I got it an 128mb ram module and planed to upgrade it. BUT it's not recognizing it. It sees only about 16mb of it. Along with this I seemed to have forgoten how to enter the bios setup.
I need a bios update, but I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere.
If you can give me a link from where I can download the latest firmware and some basic instructions on how to upgrade it, it will be great!
I've never used custumer support before and if you need some more information in order to help my case, I'll provide it.
Thanks in advance

Yordan

That old girl is an interesting piece of hardware. As you suggest, there is a BIOS update that makes a major difference in computer performance. It raises the maximum memory the computer will see from 64 megs to 80 megs. Sorry to say, the biggest module it will use is a 64 meg EDO laptop module. They are very hard to find these days. A PC-100 or PC-66 module will fit but will not work. I suspect your 128 meg memory stick is in fact a PC-100 module. The 16 megs you are seeing is onboard memory soldered to the motherboard and would be available even in the absence of an expansion module. The BIOS upgrade allows a 64 meg expansion module to work together with the onboard. With the older BIOS adding a 64 meg module would disable the onboard memory, making 64 megs total. The BIOS upgrade also brightens the screen and allows full plug and play operation which is essential to running Windows 2000, which is the best OS for that machine, even though it is a tad slow with 80 megs. Win98 runs pretty well but is fully obsolete now in my opinion and certainly not secure on the internet. If I recall, Windows 2000 installs all needed drivers without any assistance. The last BIOS upgrade for that model is not posted on this website. Check this old thread from the Business User's Forum. Rainald posted a link to the BIOS you need.
Old Thread
I tried the link and it still works and Rainald even posted instructions on how to make the bootable floppy you need to flash the BIOS. I also think this BIOS update adds CD booting capability to the machine. It is the most effective BIOS update I have ever come across.

BIOS update needed

I have a Satellite C70D-B running Windows 8.1 - bought June 2014. For the last while the Toshiba Service Station has been telling me an update is needed - C70D-B BIOS update version 1.20. I regard a BIOS update as something to do only if absolutely necessary. Now I see there's even a 1.30 update plus a CyberLink Power DVD update. I have been trying to find out what these updates would change in my computer but that information seems unavailable. Can someone point me to or give me such information? If I decide to do a BIOS update do I need to do 1.20 first then 1.30 or does 1.30 include 1.20? Thanks in advance.
Solved!

All your stuff is here.
The latest update to your BIOS (now actually a UEFI) at your site is Version 1.4.
I can't tell you much. The latest update for the US equivalent part-number family (PSCLEU) is Version 1.3. Changes up to there are indicated here.

BIOS update question for Qosmio F50-10k

+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.+

Message was edited by: kirekk

Qosmio F50-10k belongs to the PQF55E series.
If you want to update the BIOS you will have to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.
The Toshiba European driver page provides BIOS for Vista 32bit and 64bit OS.
But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XP
I think you can use the Win XP but fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not for XP
The BIOS update should work also using XP but in some very rare cases the update could not be performed and in such case you will need the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS

BIOS Updater tool for laptop says it is not comptible with laptop.

I have a Satelite C855D-S5106, and Toshiba says, when I go through all the dropdown boxes to select my model of laptop, that there are two (one older, one newer) BIOS updates for this laptop. However, when running either update tool, they both give me a notice, stating that they are not compatible with my model of laptop.
What do I do now?

The Toshiba service station can also update the bios.
Your support page is here - Support page
The newest bios update information:
Change History
Version 6.20 - 2013-01-21
Fixed: System hangs after settings are changed by TSS.
Added: CER key for a Smart DE issue.
This shows that it fix's system hangs after settings are changed by TSS (Toshiba service station), That tool shows you what updates are available, then downloads and installs them for you. Because of this I would update the bios though many believe that if its not broke dont fix it when it comes to the bios.
The Toshiba service station sometimes will show a bios update that does not apply to your laptop, it went away after a couple of weeks on mine.

Time Machine Backup [Update Needed] for User

So I made a time machine backup of my MacBook Pro to put on my MacBook Air, and when I did it created 2 users. One says Administrator (my normal one) and the other says [Update Needed]
However, when I log on to the [Update Needed] user, everything is the exact same. I just cant figure out what update it's referring to. When I go to system preferences > Users/Groups, only the Admin user is listed there.
Any ideas on how to fix?

(80 GB, had only 200 MB free)
That's likely corrupted your system. You should have a minimum of 10% - 15% free at all times. That's almost certainly why it wouldn't restart.
even though i just erased everything, and 74.2 GB show as free.
There must be something else on the drive; if you erase it, it should have just under 80 GB free. Is there another partition?
Did you erase with a Leopard Install disc or a Snow Leopard disc? If you used a Leopard disc, that might explain showing only 74.2 GB free (it counts differently).
If so, use your +Snow Leopard+ install disc to do a complete reformat, and try to restore the backup. A Leopard disc cannot restore a Snow Leopard backup. Even the Snow Leopard disc may not work, as it's just too full and/or your system was damaged by getting too full.
All my previous backups seem to fit fine, but apparently the last time Time Machine backed up more from my disk than can fit on my disk! It seems having a hard disk close to full is enough to render a backup effectively useless.
Having an OSX drive that full will make your Mac extremely sluggish, cause data corruption and/or loss, apps to crash, etc.
Guess I'll have to restore from a previous backup, then manually copy the newer files. Just wanted to alert others to this insane problem, so it doesn't happen to them.
If you can get your Mac running, you need to make several GBs of space immediately.
If all else fails, reformat the internal HD and install OSX from your Snow Leopard Install disc, then use +Setup Assistant+ after the Welcome video to transfer +*most, but not all+* of your stuff from the backup. Omit the contents of one or more large sub-folders in a home folder (such as Photos, Music, or Movies).

BIOS Recovery Feature
For AMI BIOS
1. Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
2. Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
3. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
