MOVED: Graphics card won't install after BIOS update

I would try uninstalling it through the device manager. You can get there by right clicking on My Computer and going to properties. It will bring up the system properties and you should see the device mangager button under the hardware tab. After you have them uninstalled close that and click on the add new hardware under system properties, hardware tab. Make sure you have your driver cd installed in the cdrom and let windows find the drivers that way.

Mac Pro '09, non-Mac graphics card. No display after Security Update.

I'm not that knowledgable about this but here's what I know:
- GTX 660 won't work after the update. The displays stay asleep.
- The OEM graphics card works. ATI Radeon 4870(?)
- Nvidia web driver is disabled. Apparently not compatible. Uninstalled.
- Latest Nvidia web driver won't install. Not compatible with Yosemite.
- GT 640 won't work either.
I think I'll live with the OEM card for now and wait for a driver update.
What concerns me is that the non-Mac cards won't work at all. They used to work without the native Yosemite drivers.
Anyone have insight to share on this? Thanks.

Apple don't support fitting third-party video cards to the classic Mac Pro. As such Apple do not take a lot of consideration to the effects of their software changes. Nvidia are still providing updated drivers to support newer video cards in the classic Mac Pro, however it is a constant game of cat and mouse between them and Apple.
Recently Nvidia issued an update to support Yosemite 10.10.2 only for Apple to issue Security Update 2015-002 which broke the Nvidia driver. Nvidia then issued another newer version of their driver which fixed that compatibility issue. Guess what, last night Apple released another Security Update 2015-003 which has broken the Nvidia driver yet again. I am sure soon enough there will be an official updated driver from Nvidia to fix this.
I believe the current latest and broken again Nvidia version is http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/Mac /Quadro_Certified/343.02.02f03/WebDriver…
See this thread http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1853748&page=4 for discussion about this and how to manually 'fix' your Nvidia driver.
(One hopes Nvidia get the message and make their driver more robust in terms of handling different build numbers of OS X.)

Satellite L650 - Touchpad won't disable after BIOS Update

Hello,
I've recently got a new laptop, a L650-1CN,
I run the various kinds of software from Toshiba, and one of them is Tempro,
It shows me messages when a new update is available.
Today I got saw the message that a new BIOS update v.1.80 was available.
I downloaded it, and installed it. After installing my laptop shut down. Then I booted it again.
But after a few minutes I noticed that my touchpad didn't disable itself anymore.
I usually use a logitech wireless mouse.
Now I'm wondering if I should do a system recovery and not install this BIOS update, or find another solution to fix this. Because it's really annoying.
Thanks in advance.

Hi buddy,
Usually the touchpad disable it automatically if an external mouse is connected but only if you enable this option in touchpad settings.
I also use an external mouse from Logitech and have activated this option. You can find it in control panel > mouse. Go to tab Device Settings and mark the option Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached.
I hope it works :)

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

Graphics card WON'T install - Please help !

can anyone help me out here, I'm at my wits end!!
I'm running XP home on a 2.8g P4 on an MSI 845E Max (6556e) mobo.
I've just purchased my second Gainward FX5600 card as I thought the first one was faulty! and it will not install.
I keep getting an invalid data error at the end of the install and it tells me the card isn't installed properly.
I've got the latest drivers for the card, new mobo bios drivers and the latest intel chipset drivers but its still no good!!!
I think i might have installed the VIA 4in1 drivers by mistake and have tried to remove them as this could be the reason for my problems
does anyone have any ideas as to what i should do?
thanks guys

MOVED: PM8PM-V mobo won't boot after BIOS update fail

If the computer beeps for all that, does it still indicate the board is faulty (even though it was working perfectly fine up until the bios update)?

X301 won't start after BIOS update

Hi all:
Well I've had my new x301 for about 2 months and it's given me nothing but troubles....Recently I found out my laptop won't come back on from hibernation (when you close the screen and open it up). So I downloaded and installed the lastest updates from Lenovo (including the recent BIOS update), restart computer, only to find out it doesn't start up anymore...black screen, thinkadvantage blue botton doesn't light up, no harddrive activity, only light on is battery and power...
I'm thinking maybe something went wrong with the BIOS update. Is there anything I can do to fix it (besides shipping this thing to a repair center which is a big hassle, or paying $200 for an on-site tech that might or might not solve the problem).
Any help is appreciated.

[HP Omni 10 5601TW] Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

I tried to use this utility to update my tablet's BIOS.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-132613-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4157&product=6796753&sw_lang= After the update my tablet doesn't boot, or in the words of what this BIOS version fixes, the tablet stops functioning and displays a black screen after the BIOS is updated. How can I restore previous BIOS? Thanks in advance,Arpan

hey, i have run into the exactly same issue with my Omni 10 - Win 8. there was a BIOS update available in the HP Assistant app, i installed it and rebooted. Now no display on boot. On pressing the power button, i just get a usual small vibreation of the tablet switching on, and then nothing happens. the vibreation keeps repeating every 10-15 seconds. there is no display. i have tried with power+vol up and also power+ vol down button combos, but it just keeps vibrating every 10-15 seconds with no display. was a solution found for this?

T450s won't boot after bios update

Just got my new t450s yesterday. Booted it up today and connected to the internet. Lenovo widget popped up and told me there was an update. It said there was a new bios update. I walked through the UI steps and it installed the new bios and then went to reboot the machine. Machine did not post. Any attempt to power on gets a blank screen and 2 short beeps, pause, 3 short beeps. The Green light on the power button is currently gently pulsing. pressing and holding the power button does nothing. Tried unpluging and replugging both the battery and the AC adaptor and no change. help?

Guys, I just faced the same issue. My T450s was delivered to me this afternoon. I got it home and plugged it in and was prompted for the BIOS update while I was updating Windows. Went through the UI and the machine did not come up after shutting down for the update. I found this post online and tried to factory reset but did not get a response again. Things were getting crazy and I decided to try and remove the external battery and let it drain down. But I just thought of trying the factory reset after the external battery was removed and it worked!! The machine has booted up and went straight into installing the Windows updates and I found that the BIOS has been successfully updated too. Really weird! Seems to be running fine now. But a scary way to start off!

Laptop won't boot after BIOS Update

My laptop took an automatic BIOS update
Now when I try to turn on my computer it won't turn on:
Screen is black
Power button and f12 button lights flash at 5 second intervals indefintiely
At the same interval a fan or hard drive can be heard spinning for a split second then stopping
I've tried the hard reset (Remove power and battery fo 5+ minutes, plug in power but no battery and turn on) but no affect.
The Windows key + B key with the power button for 1 second had no affect either.
I can't find any info with my exact problem (All other info seems to have blinking light codes while mine is just at a constant interval)
Thanks!

@B1-17 ,
Thank you for posting back. Now based on how you are explaining the response you are getting after doing what you have done so far the next step will be to try and get a response with removing some components and then see what kind or response you get.
Here are the steps you want to follow.
First remove your memory from you notebook. Here is a link for the Maintenance Manual that will show you how to do this.
(When Removing Or Adding Any Part To Your Notebook. Remove Battery and Power Cord.)
1) Remove bother Memory Modules. Put the power cord back in only.
2) Start your notebook and see if a new flash code or beep code happens.
3) If yes place only one memory module back in to your notebook and try rebooting.
4) If you boot up then we have a bad stick of memory.
5) If you still have a flash or beep code. Remove the single memory module and try the other.
6) If this lets you boot up. Replace memory module that is not in the notebook.
7) If you still have the original problem or a new beep code. Power down again.
8) Now remove power cord then the hard drive. Use Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions.
9) Try booting up again and see if this changes the original flash code or beep code.
10) If yes then replace hard drive if no then contact phone support for repair options.
At this point if there is no change in the original flash or beep code you are looking at a repair. For information on how to get your system repaired please contact our phone support.

Helix died on me, won't boot after BIOS update

I just did a BIOS update the other day. No idea what version it is. When I booted it said it "detection error on HDD...". I have since reset the BIOS options to default, and now it boots to a DOS-like boot screen that shows the ATA HDD0 drive. But selecting it and hitting enter just flashes the screen and nothing happens.
When I attach a USB thumb drive with Linux, it shows up in the options on the DOS-like boot screen, but selecting it won't boot from it.
The laptop is now totally uselss and I'm losing days of time and it's a major problem. What to do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello. Assuming that you have not clean installed a new operating system, and you've got the
original Win8 installation on your Helix.
Enter your BIOS setup by pressing F1 when the Lenovo logo appears.
Go to Security - Secure Boot and set it to Disabled if you want to boot any other OS than Win8.
If you're happy with just running Windows 8 on it, then I recommend Secure Boot to be set to ON.
Go to Startup - Boot - and on top should be Windows Boot Manager.
With Secure Boot set to on, UEFI/Legacy Boot is greyed out and set to UEFI Only.
With Secure Boot set to off, and you want to boot other OS, like Linux, it should be set to both.
Check these settings and see if your machine boots.

Satellite L300D - Won't load after BIOS update

I had to update my bios & it seems that the wrong one was downloaded about 3% into installing the laptop just died & won't go back on.
There are no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
The laptop is a Toshiba satelite L300D

Hello
Well, if BIOS update crashed you can do nothing because the ROM module must be reflashed. This can only be done with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.
So please contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help :)

Satellite L855 won't boot after BIOS update

I downloaded the BIOS update and followed the instructions it gave during install, however upon reboot (which the setup initiated) I get a blank screen. The CPU fan intermittently starts and stops. I am thinking that the BIOS update was unsuccessful, how do I resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Neil.

Hello Neil
Generally speaking when BIOS is screwed up you need professional help and you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
Check also this thread. Maybe this methid can help you too.

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.

HP dv7 1150us won't boot after bios update

I have a HP dv7 1150us that I was given to replace my other HP that died. I put my hard drive from my other Laptop in this one, it ran good. I was updating the drivers for the new PC, there was a Bios update, I did it. When my laptop rebooted it would not go past POST and the caps lock & number lock are flashing 4 times, pause, and repeat. Other then buy a new motherboard is there anything else I can do?

Please try the BIOS Recovery method
see if this does the trick,
