Motherboard and processor, BIOS update and board capability

Hi there,This is my 2nd topic for same problem. I didn't get an answer which is not enough. So this is the problem.
I have issue about updating processor. This is my PC
HP Pro 3010 Microtower PC
Model #: WB636ES
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 5.11, 29.09.2009
Motherboard:
Pegatron Corporation
Model: 2A94h
Brand: American Megatrends Inc.
I'd tried to update my processor with these;
Intel® Pentium® Processor E6500 (2M Cache, 2.93 GHz, 1066 FSB)
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q8200 (4M Cache, 2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
Intel® Pentium® Processor E6700 (2M Cache, 3.20 GHz, 1066 FSB)
For my investigation they are compatible with my motherboard. I found a website which motherboards specs are listed. http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/pegatron-2a94h-motherboard-specs-3272011h24/As you can see Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield), Pentium Dual Core, Core 2 Duo (Kentsfield) are supported. But when everytime i try any processor, PC is not booted and no vision on my monitor and motherboard gives LONG 9 or 10 More beeps. So i go on with my Intel E5300 processor which is default one.
I had tried everything but there maybe only solution is updating BIOS. I'm not sure about it. So i ask you?
My board BIOS version is 5.11. In HP site when i enter my model number, 5.17 version BIOS update appears to download. I am scared to update BIOS. Is there any option there to make work new processor properly? Do i have to update my BIOS? Meanwhile all of Core2 Quad processors have 4MB, 6MB, 8MB, 12MB cache. If everthings gonna fine, these processors work normal? (It seems that my motherboard supports 2MB cache, i guess or read it somewhere) Best Regards

Hi, Your question was asked and answered. Only the processors that HP listed listed for your PC will have the best possibility of working in your PC. Please stay on your original thread.

Bios updated and now K8N Neo won't boot? FIXED!

Successfully restored from backup (after some hassles!), but thanks to everyone who helped.
Having messed with the bios some more, I *think* I now know what the problem was. And *blush*, I think it was my fault all along *blush*.
I think I had one of the drives selected at the top in Hard Disk Boot sequence, instead of the SCSI - Raid Array.
That would mean it was only reading half the MBR at boot time which would kindof explain the problems I was having.
Still, we live and learn. Thank God for backups!
Cheers all
Chippy
I hope someone can please help me?
I just upgraded my K8N Neo2 bios from 1.4b to Easybios 1.3c (or whatever its called).
I took all the proper precautions and the bios update itself has worked just fine. My system is "working" OK.
However, I can't boot. The system POSTs fine, detects the raid0 array just fine and then falls over with an MBR 1 error and an MBR 3 error.
I booted from the XP install CD and loaded up recovery console, and I can log on to the array. The array and all data is fine.
So it looks like its just the MBR record that is screwed. Is this because of some incompatibiliy between my old and new bios?
And anyway, please does anyone know how to fix it? I suppose I can try to rebuild the MBR somehow, but I don't know how. And I really DO NOT want to risk losing all of the data on the array. Yes, I have a full back up, but I don't want to end up having to rely on it!
Has anyone seen this problem before when doing a bios update? And any ideas how to fix it?
(I guess I could flash back to 1.4b, but I really would like a later bios version to go with my new - as yet untested - Opty 146).
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, Doc. But I have entered the bios settings from scratch.
I can try it again, but why do you think that might work? There really aren't two many sata and raid settings to make - all you have to do is enable the two channels (sata3 and sata3) and then enable them also in the raid menu. That's it. And the board "sees" the raid array just fine, its just it won't boot anymore. I can read and write to the array no problem from Windows Recovery Console, so I conclude that the hardware is all working properly. I think its an MBR incompatibility issue between the two bios versions... or maybe MBR corruption.
I seem to remember some people having problems with this a year or so ago when upgrade this bios from 1.4 to 1.5. Some people were having to do complete Windows reinstalls to fix it. That was why I didn't update my bios sooner.
But I asked around this time and it seemed those problems had been resolved.
Seems I was mistaken!
Any other thoughts / suggestions?
Thanks

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

Starting All Over With OS X and Safari After Update And Crashes

I had posted my troubles in the Safari Section under the same title and got fabulous advice. I was just starting the process of following this advice so that I could get my mac back up from 10.4.7 to 10.4.11 since the genius' at the bar at Apple had re-installed the OS to fix the crashing Safari, Mail and Software update apps.
The advice suggested starting with a permissions repair and a disk verify. Well disk verify may well have come up with the cause for my computer going foobar upon installing the last Apple update in the first place. (Incredible that the Genius Bar guys missed this, especially the week before when I had taken my Mac Mini in for a Procare "Tune-Up." I wonder what the H-E Double Hockey Sticks they did if they didn't verify the disk in the tune-up? Wouldn't that have saved me all manner of distress and trouble!) Here is what verify gave me:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid index key
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
So..I will need to, if I understand this correctly, re-start from my install disc holding down the C key and then go to disk utility. I have never done this before and really would like some one to walk me through the procedure.
Just to remind or get you up to speed. I have a mac mini that had been bought with 10.3.7 on it and had been updated all the way to 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4 but after the last Java, Quicktime, and Security update Safari, Mail, and Software Update all crashed repeatedly. Genius Bar at Apple got them working again by re-installing the OS but put in 10.4.7 and with it Safari 2.0.4. Now I will need to repair the start up disk. Do I use the Mac Mini "Mac OS X install disc 1 and Apple Hardware Test" disc or do I use the "Mac OS X Tiger" disc that I bought to upgrade my Mac from Panther to Tiger? I think the former rather than the latter but I am uncertain and would really like to know exactly what I need to do before proceeding. Please help!
Then.. what do I do after I re-start using the install disc and have gone to Disk Utility. Will it then darken the "repair" button under "disk," and allow me to click on that to repair the disk? What will that do to the applications and documents that I have in the mac. I actually have my iTunes and iPhoto libraries on external hard drives and are backed-up on yet another external hard drive. I think everything is backed-up. I will perform another back-up before I do anything anyway. Do I leave the externals on and connected while doing the re-start using the install disc or do I disconnect them?
As you can tell, this makes me rather nervous. Thank you so much for any help you can offer! -Charlotte

Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding; Holidays as you know. Anyway... Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I put in the Tiger install disc and holding the c key restarted the computer. Went to Disk Utility and ran Repair Disk. Did it twice as you suggested. The first time it said that there was nothing to repair which was a complete surprise. Ran the verify again and ran Repair Disk again. Each time the report shows no problems. After booting back into the main internal hard drive, I ran disk verify again and it reports no problems.
Someone else on a different post on this subject (I accidently posted this in two different places) stated that the Apple Disk Utility Repair would not be able to make this repair and I would have to get Disk Warrior to make the repair. If Disk Verify reports no problems, wouldn't this mean that running the Repair Disk did repair it?
After all this I went to Apple's site and got the combo update and ran Software Update and gotten my little ppc Mac Mini back up to 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. (I ran permissions repair after the updates as well.) I did not, however, download the last Security Update, as some posters have suggested that I avoid it. What do you think of the Security Update 2007-009? Would this be safe to download and install, now that my mac seems to have had it's directory repaired? Thanks so much. -Charlotte

I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing the program but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open

I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

New NF980-G65 with an AMD X6 1090T and the BIOS Update Utility Crashes?

Last week I received my new NF980-G65 board and with it an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3). After installing the board and starting it up for the first time I noticed that it reports BIOS version 1.1 and CPU unknown. Next I downloaded the BIOS update to version 1.3 from msi, made a boot USB stick and powered up again. System will not boot from USB. I tried now over 20 different sticks from 256MB to 64GB and none of them worked!
Went back to my old system and ripped its floppy drive out to install it in the new computer. Had to go to RadioShack since I have not touched a floppy in over 10 years, but they had some on clearance. Made me a boot disk, put the new BIOS and install utility on it, booted the system with the floppy, started the BIOS update utility and watched it crash. When I start it by itself it gives me three screens of options and commands, but as soon as I try to use one of the commands or update the BIOS it keeps crashing.
What do I have to do to get the BIOS on the NF980-G65 updated so it will run with my AMD X6 1090T processor?
Thank you in advance for ANY help...

I am sorry, but I need to work with this thing since I make a living writing code, I do not play with it! This thing and the support I am getting for it are not worth my time or money!
What thing are you talking about? You are experiencing the a certain symptom for which you do not know the cause. For some strange reason and without any in-depth tests you seem to assume that the board must be the problem (ignoring all other components (for example your factory overclocked memory modules).

What support have you tried to get that actually has to do anything with money? Please note that this is not MSI Technical Support but a User-to-User forum, run by users (just like you) that do not get paid for donating their private time to try to help others. Whatever your level of frustration is in regards to the money spent for your components, please do not use it to insult anyone here in this forum.

The result remains the same, the update utility keeps crashing...
Are still using the same floppy drive with the same floppy disk in it?

Bios update and nothing happens

Hello all
I just brought a MSI GP70 02PE laptop. I decided to update the bios and I did. No problems at all. However, after update, when I turn on the laptop, nothing happens. The screen wont turn on and the power buttion is orange. I can hear it starts up, but nothing happens. Am I or is there a reason why it does what it?? Can I somehow undo the bios update?
Regards, HeramirDK

it would be better if you open laptop disconnect battery and hold power button in for aprox 30 seconds to 1 min that should kill power fully in motherboard and have BIOS reseted or something so it will make laptop boot again
Also make sure you did not flash the windows 7 bios on a windows 8.1 GS70 2PE since it even warns you on their site that cross flashing can cause you to brick the laptop so make sure you flashed Windows 8.1 bios on a windows 8.1 laptop and windows 7 bios on a windows 7 laptop
Just tried that, doesnt work. And I did use the 8.1 bios . But ill let it be over the night and will check tomorrow . Is there a battery inside the laptop I can take out?? Or is that a suicide mission??

Z87M Gaming Mobo - BIOS Update and now won't post

Hello all...
Firstly I have had a read through the messages here and it is looking like I may have damaged the board by attempting a BIOS update using the update tool in the BIOS!?
Anyhow here is what happened......
I setup my system below and everything was booting happily with no problems at all.
I could not seem to get my SSD to be recognised by the mobo (windows install could see the SSD but could not install OS as mobo controller did not recognise it). I downloaded the 1.2 version of the mobo BIOS, extracted this to USB drive and used the update feature in the BIOS to flash.
I selected the option for BIOS and Management Engine and the BIOS upgrade reported successfully flashed. The PC re-stared successfully a couple of times but on 1 boot it said it was updating or flashing the Management Engine, a percentage bar completed and that was the last time the PC booted successfully.
I have tried clearing the CMOS using the CMOS clear button and the CMOS jumper but this has made no difference.
The power is there and the PC switches on but it wont post and is showing nothing on the debug LED's.
I have tried removing all components but same outcome.
The PSU is brand new and the fact that everything was working fine before the flash update (including the Gskill RAM btw) I feel the flash has caused this.
However, I would very much appreciate some advice from some experienced MSI mobo users
Thanks

remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< again
then try to boot with barabone setup
I did try this with just the board and nothing, no post at all :(

I tryied removing battery and ac, presing the power button for 30 sec, etc, and is just not working.
Any idea?
Thanks you in advance!

It's bad news that you may have corrupted your BIOS, even though you used the boot CD update method.
Regardless, you can try all these steps first:
Computer will not turn on
If nothing above works, see these intructions, and try to work your way through them for your make of BIOS. The BIOS.ROM file they mention, should be on your BIOS update CD.
BIOS Recovery procedures
Good luck.

Satellite L100 - How to download and install BIOS update?

I bought this Satellite L100 in 2006, and it dawned on me that by now I might need a BIOS update (the laptop sometimes freezes at Startup).
I found an update on the Satellite website dating July 6th 2007 but the download instructions are confusing and the driver(s) simply don't come through. Can someone help me with another link for this download?

>how do I 'uncheck' HDD, In msconfig?
What do you mean by uncheck? Do you want to disconnect the HDD or to remove it from the notebook?
In msconfig you can disable (uncheck) the processes which are running in the OS background! You cannot disable HDD in msconfig.
>. I also experience breaks in the sounds of Window message tunes and short freezing moments in all webvideo's I run. Could this have something to do with a bad connection with the HDD
I doubt the HDD connection could cause this Maybe the HDD itself
It would be interesting to know if the same would happen using a new HDD and fresh installed OS. I had a Win XP installed on my notebook. It was a long time since new installation the notebook and OS were soo slowly because many registry keys were corrupted.
I installed the OS again, cleaned the OS using CCLeaner, disabled not necessary background processes and the notebook ran much faster
