  • Equium M70 - Bios UPDATE under Linux

    Hi,
    I will update my BIOS(Equium M70 psm78e) but the only file i can use is a .exe application which try to flash the bios while the system is working and, of course, under linux don't work!
    Anyone knows another method?
    Thanks a lot

    … which is foolish on Toshiba's part, IMO.
    Failing something Linux-specific, I'd settle for a BIOS upgrader which works in FreeDOS. That's doable, if it's provided as a complete CD image or (for some of us) can be added to an existing FreeDOS CD image.
    This BIOS upgradability issue is something of an anti-recommendation, though it does have to be weighed against Linux-friendly hardware and a resident BIOS which causes no problems for Linux. (My Equium scores well on the latter two but unfortunately also on the first due to my having removed a certain commercial OS from its HD, despite which it +did+ get one BIOS upgrade.)

  • System sounds (alarms), Bios update and Linux

    Hello
    Sory for my very bad English
    I have a Lenovo 3000 G530, under Linux (Mandriva 2010 X86_64), and it works fine. My only "problem" is the system sound of charge battery (beep when plug/unplug adapter).... It's not a minor problem : there are many circumstances where we want to be silent .... and these sounds are horrible.
    One issue to resolve this problem is to correct it in the Bios settings. But in my Bios, no options for that. On the other hand, I've found an update Bios (http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_1350.html#) 0CCN52WW version (I actualy use 0CCN48WW).
    So
    1 Can somebody tell me if the 0CCN52WW Biosmakes possible to disable system sounds alarms ? Before flashing Bios, I want to be sure this will solve the problem ...
    2 This Bios can create other problems ?
    3 Is there a method to flash without using Windows (creating bootable CD) ?
    Thank you

  • BIOS update under RAID0 - MSI GE70 2PE Apacho Pro

    Hi
    I've seen a BIOS update in this site:
    w ww.msi.com/support/nb/GE70-2PE-Apache-Pro.html#down-bios&Win8.1%2064
    Version     E1759IMS.526
    I have an older version dated as May.
    The last time I updated the BIOS I had to do a factory restore from recovery DVD's and lost all my data because the RAID0 setup disappeared (I have two 128 GB SSD HDD's set on a RAID0 array), no matter if I entered the BIOS and changed the thing back to RAID0, it wouldn't recognize any existing RAID0 setup.
    a) What steps do I have to follow to update the bios without any problems/recovery etc. from the UEFI bios upadte feature? (if it's possible?
    b) Why if I use Live Update 6, it won't show the BIOS update available?
    Thanks in advance, cheers.

    Hello guys,
    - Just use UEFI BIOS update to securely update your BIOS. It will check if you are using the right BIOS file, so that's why I'm saying "securely". Follow the instruction on the screen to choose the BIOS file and it will automatically update it. After the updating, do a power off/on cycle and it's done.
    - Updating BIOS won't destroy the RAID information.
    - Live Update 6 is the utility for MSI "MAINBOARD", not for MSI "LAPTOP".

    just FYI
    My board came with bios 1.1
    I swapped if out with my old gigabyte, also upgrading the CPU to a Q9300.
    I reused everything else, including my nvidia 8800GT and corsair memory.
    I also have 4gb corsair (2x2gb sticks), but they are corsair value sticks
    I had vista x64 installed on the harddisk.
    when I switch on everything went fine. I installed the vista intel drivers off the supplied CD and it restarted and everything worked fine.
    So sounds like your MB may be faulty, or there is something touchy about your RAM.
    (note: i upgraded to 1.3 and switched to Sata and it stopped recognising the nvidia graphics driver. SO I flashed back to 1.2 and IDE and it all worked again).
    PS: I can swap out my RAM fine with the graphics card in, its a tight squeeze, but there is no extension on value ram.
    Your observation about BIOS 1.2 versus 1.3 makes me wonder, even though you're running Vista and I'm using XP, BIOS issues are BIOS issues, regardless of the OS. My Corsair memory works perfectly now that I've re-flashed the BIOS to the same exact version, and this system is now 24 hour Prime95 stable. I can't figure out what the heck is up with the Nvidia drivers and my 8800 GTS 512, though. Maybe it's a BIOS issue? I could always try flashing the 1.2 and see if the system will stop black screening as soon as it attempts to load any Nvidia driver higher than 169.06.

    I know what you are asking, but I'm confident BIOS 1.8 did not have such bug as saving any kind of settings or it would have been removed from the download page for being useless.
    Is this a new build or was it OK before?
    I suggest you first follow >>Clear CMOS Guide<< and leave it with the jumper on for the night, see if it's any better in the morning.
    The simple answer to your question is follow manufacturer instructions, not some youtube video you have found.

  • How to ensure Firefox stays updated in Linux Mint 17 - Qiana

    I happen to have dual OS, Windows OS 7 & Linux Mint 17 (Qiana). I love Linux Mint more than Windows 7. If only I could move away completely from Windows I would be the happiest person on the face of the earth. But unfortunately we're not there yet. e.g. under Windows Firefox tends to update itself, the moment new version is released by Mozilla. But the same doesn't occur with Linux Mint, instead it keeps on listing various error messages.
    At present, under Linux Mint I'm using v33, which Linux Mint says is the latest. Whereas v34 is available on Mozilla site. If I've to update FF from 33 to 34, I've download it then either uninstall v33 + install v34 OR install v34 & hope that it overwrites v33 & hope there aren't two versions running on my OS.
    Why can't it is capable to renew like in Mac or Windows, where I go to Help/About Firefox/Update (directly from that panel)?
    By the time FF v34 is available for update under Linux Mint, there will be another version, which will obviously have more security patches.
    One thing I want to clarify, I'm not here to blame any person or group, If I'm able to help I would love to, but this is beyond my expertise, so I'm just trying to raise the issue for the concerned expertise to work towards benefit of all the netizens. If you do have any runaround to this I would really appreciate the feedback. Also this is the first time that I'm voicing my concern, so if I've offended someone, even inadvertently - I apologise.
    Thank you

    Linux Mint controls the updates for their version of Firefox that comes with their operating system. It is controlled through their repository.
    You could install the Linux - Firefox version that comes from Mozilla directly, to have updates done by Mozilla on the Mozilla schedule.

  • N500 Bios Update Problem

    Hi, I have just updated my N500 with the 1.03 version of the BIOS, and right after, the computer just won't start, it goes as far as the start display of windows XP and then a bulk memory error makes it re-start. What can I do, or how do I come back to the original BIOS.
    Thanks
    ---Never mind, it was just a missconfiguration of BIOS----
    Message Edited by im38066 on 01-15-2009 05:16 PM

    Thanks. I will look into Winplash for installing the BIOS update under DOS.
    Meanwhile, I have a related question:  
    Has anybody installed successfully Lenovo's latest BIOS update version 1.07 for the N500 under Win XP ?
    The little that its documentation says about ver 1.07 is that "...it corrects for "some problems" and expands functionality..."
    I suppose that if they already are at version 1.07 only five months after 1.03 came out, it may well be that one of "the problems" was that earlier versions were indeed misconfiguring the BIOS and causing users to return their N500's for refunds or exchanges. LOL, this could be why I could buy mine 6 weeks ago from the factory refurbished and already equipped with BIOS ver 1.03.

    What does ME version show under BIOS currently? When you check the ratio under OS, do you put your system under loading? And did you re-install driver from website after updating BIOS?
    http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z68AGD65_G3.html#support_download
    ME version 8.1.2.1318. Even if I put the system at 100% load in Windows, the processor never moves past 3.4 GHz. I've checked this in multiple programs (CPUZ, RealTemp, TMonitor, etc.) And yes, I reinstalled the drivers that were listed under the BIOS update.
    Quote from: TZBC on 29-January-15, 14:17:52
    Go to OC section and change to advanced mode, change your CPU Ratio Mode from Dynamic to Fixed mode.
    And go to windows checking the ratio have changed or not.
    EDIT: sorry, I forgot this motherboard doesn't have this settings, try Disabled or Enable "Adjust CPU Ratio in OS"
    I've tried changing that setting (Adjust CPU Ratio in OS) but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
    However, I just noticed that I didn't have the newest version of CPUZ. I updated it and now it shows more detailed information for the multiplier: x34 (16-44)
    So it is detecting that I have set it to 44 in Windows after all. But it seems to be indicating that it's using a dynamic CPU ratio of 16-44 - which I don't want, I want it fixed at 44 - but as you say, there's no option for dynamic/fixed on my motherboard. However, on the old v23.7 BIOS, if I set it to 44 it stayed at 44 always.
    Even if it's using a dynamic ratio for some reason, it's not doing that right either because it's still never moving past 3.4 GHz (nor is it ever dropping below 3.4 GHz).

    [Athlon64] Failed Bios update with both Live Update and Dos version = badchecksum shutdown

    Sometimes bios recovery is a long shot .
    But the award bios v.6 is supposed to be able to do it if the bootblock is still intact.
    Best way seems to be to strip it down to minimal configuration , disconnect all drives except floppy , one ram module , perhaps without video card also .

  • MOVED: Comp won't start after BIOS Update

    This topic has been moved to BIOS.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=118639.0

    Hello all
    I just updated my X301 (2776LEG) with the 3.12-1.05 bios. Now my laptop won't start up when running on battery, it powers on for a short while and powers off again. This cycling keeps on going (after 30min I switched it off!) but as soon as i connect the power adapter it boots fine. Seems like this bios update f****ed up the battery power part of the computer....
    I tried the bios battery trick but it only worked on the first boot and after that the same problem is present.
    I have added 2gigs extra memory and a ultrabay battery and it has been working 100% for about a year now. This error started right after the bios update...
    Thought that a reflash of the bios would solve the problem but i cannot reflash the bios with the same bios version...
    Any ideas ?
    Kind regards
    Tommy
