New Bios Update. X220, X220i, X220 Tablet, X220i Version 1.39 Updated the CPU microcode

Hi,
What does Updated the CPU microcode mean, and how it improve performance or what kind of effect does this change have?
Thanks

Well, first off, sorry to inform you, but in case you haven't noticed, the BIOS update does not solve the jumpy touchpad issue. In my opinion we are going to see some board swaps probably related to both the touchpad and CPU throttling issues, though I hope I am wrong.
Secondly, I haven't really noticed that, but then again, my power consumption has always been pretty spotty from day one. I'm not sure if it's USB devices to blame or possibly even Google Chrome, but I have been monitoring the possible culprits and haven't really reached any definitive conclusions.
You might try the following from a command prompt:
powercfg -energy
This will produce a report about power consumption after monitoring your laptop's idling over a 60-second period.

New bios for T420 Updated the CPU microcode

Hi,
Bios 1.46
(New) Updated the CPU microcode.
(Fix) Corrected the help message for enabling the microphone in the BIOS Setup.
The CPU microcode update: It will support Ivy Bridge?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ivy and Sandy are compatible? I don't think so...
Maybe they just increased or blocked the amount of allowed CPU models.
I guess Mark has to step in and explain

Try a reset Carole ...
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Hello Im trying to update my macbook pro from itunes version 10.5 to the latest version. can anyone tell me why I'm unable to update?

Hello
My macbook pro is version MAC OS X V.10.5.8 and I'm trying to udate my itunes from10.6.3 to the most current version. However, when I try to do this I cant seem to be able to find the newest version of itunes- I'm receiving the message that I'm up to date with the latest version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are for Leopard. To upgrade iTunes you first need to upgrade OS X. Start with Snow Leopard. You can upgrade further should you want to. But Snow Leopard will allow you to install the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I am running Win7 64 bit on a Sony Vaio laptop and recently updated to Firefox 6.0. Now it maxes out the CPU. Please help to solve this issue. I absolutely hate using Chrome or IE !!!

Many thanks b Noir
This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

W520 and new bios update

I saw lenovo released the new bios update for the W520 and it says they updated the cpu microcode. Does that mean it will accept Ivy Bridge CPU's?
Also what is your thought on W500 laptops in today's world? Are they worth hanging onto for anything or basically obsolete. I have 7 of them with the 1920x1200 resolution screen and 4 gb ram, would they be able to run the newer versions of autocad and catia?

no the W520 doesn't accept Ivy Bridge CPU.
The W500 run AutoCAD and Catia, but would be very slow if you have many parts. So if you are using the W500 for work, then you should consider upgrading.

P67A-GD65(B3), new BIOS 4.3 and power phases

The old BIOS for P67A-GD65(B3) offered APS, Intel SVID and disabled as options for the power phases in the BIOS. The newest BIOS has no such option so I have to wonder whether APS and intel SVID are still around or all power phases options are set to disabled.
I have 2 of those mainboards. In the first one the BIOS is upgraded to 4.3. The system has a Pentium G860 (Sandybridge) and a Corsair HX750 psu. Control Center reports system to have 1 phase active while idle but the phase system itself is reported as disabled. It is not reported as either Intel SVID or APS. This seems to be wrong though cause when system goes to full load all phases go active again.
The other mainboard has an i5 2500K and was using BIOS v1.19. I had set the phase system to Intel SVID and indeed the phases changed between idle and full load. In a stupid attempt to benefit from Intel's rapid start technology that is supported on the latest BIOS and despite my better judgment I upgraded the BIOS to v 4.30. I had lots of issues with overclocking the CPU so I downgraded to 1.19 using the forum tool and the custom BIOS file. I may need to do a fresh installation of windows but according to the leds on the mainboard and the Control Center I can't get the mainboard to lower the phases even when idle. I've tried Intel SVID and APS in the BIOS but I had no luck. C1E is enabled along with every other energy saving feature. Currently and most of the time the i5 is running on stock clocks. I did notice that during the original upgrade from 1.19 to 4.30 in the BIOS the Intel ME was also upgraded from v7 to v8. I am not sure if the forum tool that reverted back the BIOS to v1.19 took care of the intel ME.
So I wanted some clarification to what happens with the power phase system in the new BIOS (4.3) and a bit of help in regards to the other system that for the time being seems incapable of lowering CPU phases. The second system is using a Coolermaster Silent M 1000W psu. Both mainboards are equipped with 16GB of Corsair (XMS1600) memory. Both systems use aftermarket coolers that keep the temperature reasonably low while being very quiet. I could list the rest of the specs but I don't think they will matter much.

The v4.3 was intended for those that decide to install an Ivy CPU. There must have been a reason why some of the features or settings were modified or eliminated to accomodate Ivy support. It may be best to ask this question directed towards the MSI Technical engineers.

As for phases, it may depend on how many applications are running in the background.

New BIOS 2.29-1.08

Hello
Have anyone flashed new bios 2.29-1.08 for ThinkPad T/R 61? The same day (or next) after flashing I got blue screen in Windows 7 (I've never had such a blue screen on my T61)
***Hardware Malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
NMI: Parity Check/Memory Parity Error
***The system has halted
I flash back previous version (2.27).
Do you have any experiences with version 2.29?
PS. I tested RAM modules with MemTest and whole system with some tool included in Lenovo Toolbox. Everything was OK.

Recently actually (even after replacing systemboard) I experience problem described here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69684
So I don't need to test GPU for several hours. Playing video on youtube/vimeo is enough

X220 4286-CTO can't update new bios

I get the new X220 today and want to update the new bios because the "unexpected CPU throttling mode" problem.
But when i using system auto update, it can't found any new bios(my bios is 1.12) for my system.
So i manually download the 1.17bios from the lenovo websit.
but when i install it, it also failed to refresh and indicate as follow:
The process does not recognize this system.
The process has been canceled.
Could anybody tell me what the problem was?
My system is X220 4286-CTO, but i can't find my type on the web selection. And if I use autodetection,it confuse my system as X220i 4286-CTO.
I want to update to new bios.How can i do?
THX!!

hoang0100, my apologies as I haven't understood you clearly...
May be you try flash BIOS via setup after laptop boots?
The BIOS flashing process is simple - just download the BIOS image and Update Utility (in one pack) from Lenovo's web site. Presently the last version of BIOS is 1.17, direct link on US site for your laptop model is here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS018805.
Download and launch exe file, setup process will start. You'll be promptetd the path where files will be extracted. At the end of installation process you'll be asked to start the flashing process automatically. Close all applications, plug-in AC adapter and start. You'll see the process. Don't do anything on laptop during that process, about one minute. At the end your laptop will be rebooted. That's end. Also you'll get backup copy of your current BIOS, that file has name bios.bak.
Note you can flash new BIOS or re-flash manually by launching winflash.exe.
Cheers

Omni 10 New BIOS update

I noticed today that there is a new BIOS for the Omni 10 in the files area. Having been burned by the last BIOS update I've not installed the latest. The last update caused me to lose HDCP and MIracast functionality and required a lot of haggling with customer service to eventually get a new tablet (which I'm in the process of setting up).
So, has anyone tried Omni 10 BIOS link yet? Any problems or improvements noted?

The "Adventure" continues...
I've been bothered by info I received earlier from "crack" HP Support team, re. Omni 10 BIOS version numbers; Floor Supervisor stated F.09 latest, and F.0C was earliest shipping version. However that's backwards from what I would expect for an incremental numbering scheme (in hexidecimal notation, 0C = decimal 13 — suggesting that BIOS revs 10, 11, 12 blew-up on the launch-pad & were never released). About an hour ago, I rechecked HP Support Assistant — which was still blissfully unaware, but HP DL site now recommends new BIOS for Omni 10 (& other portables) = Version F.0C.
Largely due to inane, inept tech support for the Omni 10, I don't use mine for anything important, so I decided to "risk-it-all" by installing the BIOS upgrade to F.0C... Turns-out — risk-it-all" wasn't an understatement, because my lovely Omni-trinket is now BRICKED!!!
I feel certain that after submitting to several hours of endlessly repeating answers to the same questions and phonetic-spelling of every 3rd word, I will eventually prevail & be offered the coup de grace of escalation to a "Case Manager." Nevertheless, I feel honor-bound to warn my compatriots in the trenches, of what they might be in-for by installing the BIOS upgrade (there is no undo from a flashing).
(On the other hand, if at least one-thousand Omni-owners were to ALSO simultaneously "Brick" their tablets, I'll bet that would produce a slight seismic tremor under HP's Palo Alto headquarters... Not that I'm actually suggesting that, of course!)

Stay tuned...

Can't install MSI Live Update for new bios

Hi all,
sad to say, I too have the problem of MSI Live not installing.
Just bought a GTX 970 Gaming 4G and the Live update says "this platform is not supported". I tried the version from the disc and the version offered by the MSI support site. Both led to the same experience.
Would be great if you could help me out checking my bios and providing me with the newest one if needed.
(Instructions would be great though too )
S/N: 602-v316-050B1501006790

Thank you for the information flobelix!
Whats bothering me now is the Live update.
Can I ignore that or should i wait for a new version?
Additional info:
Netframework 4.5.2 is installed.
Board: ASRock ZH77 Pro3, latest bios installed.

GS70 Stealth after update new bios and firmware

my GS70 after update the new BIOS w8_E1771IMS.50E and Firmware w8_1771EMS1.508 now laptop become so warm...
when i am playing game the CPU temperature can reach 90'c。

4th Generation Core i7's are pretty well known to generate more heat than the 3rd generation, and as such the expected temperatures for the mobile chips has tended to be higher than the previous generation.
90C is getting hot. On top of all that, you're in a GS70 case, which is small and very enclosed, which means the cooling is going to be even worse. 90C all things considered, isn't terrible. At 100C I would start worrying.
If it worries you this much though, call MSI and see what they think.

T410, update new BIOS, SLIC misssing!

I updated the new BIOS for T410, then I found SLIC missing, and now Windows 7 can't be activated.
Please don't update the new BIOS: Version 1.12-1.04 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...IGR-74268#main
PS: How to resolve the problem now ?
Moderator edit: Removed accidental link to ads.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Out of curiosity, what is SLIC, and where does one see it in the BIOS screens? I've been in there a few times poking around on my T510 and have never noticed any references to SLIC.
