Pavilion DV9008NR BIOS problem Windows 8 32-bit

I have an older Pavilion DV9008NR notebook:
RAM - 2 GB RAM
CPU - Athlon Turion 64 x2 1.6 GHz TL-50
Motherboard - Quanta 30B9
Chipset - NVDIA GeForce 6150
Southbridge - NVIDIA NForce 410/430 MCP
BIOS HP F.43 3/22/2010
Nvidia GPU - GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)  (display adapter MS Bsic Disply Adapter C52 A.2
This was previously loaded with WinXP SP3 and slipstreamed with nLite 1.42 to load SATA drivers.  It had previously had the BIOS flashed to F.43 (latest version).
It was "clean" upgraded with Windows 8 Pro Upgrade after passing all tests.
Upon rebooting, I got the  standard HP/Phoenix BIOS screen with the usual prompts for <F10> BIOS Setup and <Esc> Boot Order.
Every time after that, the <F10> and <Esc> prompts are gone, and Win8 loads *faster* than usual.
Win 8 functionality appears fine, and the need Ricoh 5-in-1 and NVIDIA coprocesser drivers loaded without difficulty.
I went back to my old WinXP image, and BIOS loaded several times normally with <F10> and <Esc> prompts.
After reloading Win8, back to problem of no prompts after first reboot.
Trying <F10> or <Esc> during the BIOS load does *not* get you into BIOS Setup or Boot Order.
It appears that somewhere that Win8 is "pre-empting" the normal "flow" of the BIOS.
I do understand that Win8 does have some feature to take control to keep  Boot Sector malware from taking control.
Is this what is happening?  (Which becomes a real problem with <F10> and <Esc> maybe needed),
Is this a BIOS bug, or
Is there something else.
Thanks~

I'm sorry but this was very difficult to read. If I understand you are having an issue installing Windows 8 32-bit. Is this right?
If so this is not supported as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5628. Specifically: "If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp."

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, uninstall Skype and when this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver Here.
    When the installation has finished, restart the notebook again.
    Let windows fully load, then download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load, then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Reinstall Skype and see if the Mic now works Ok.

  • Hp pavilion dv6500 upgrade to windows 8 64 bits

    hi guys i have an hp pavilion dv6500 laptop with 64 bit processor and i want to upgrade it to windows 8 64 bit but during the installation am asked to select file or insert cd containing the drivers before proceeding with the installation. can anyone help me with a link to download these particular drivers please.....

    Have you run the Windows 8 compatibility checker?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-from-windows-vista-xp-tutorial
    Open the Device Manager and see which devices are installed. That is important and will save a lot of time. Verify the wireless and wired network interface devices. Otherwise we will have to find out what they are the more difficult way.
    You can install and run CPU-z  to find out which chipset and graphics device is installed. Use the tabs.  Once we know those, then finding the drivers is a possibility. The notebook may be a bit far back in generations for Windows 8, but Windows 8,1 does have a large builtin driverstore so it is a possibility.

  • IPhone sync problem Windows 7 64 bit

    I have a PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I get error messages nearly every time I try to sync my iPhone 4. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 64 bit, latest version, but this does not solve the problem. iTunes is timing out my phone and will not sync. Any solutions? Am getting weary of going through an hour of this every day!
    When my iPhone appears at all, I get a dialog box saying that another device has been synced to this computer. I am asked to restore from backup or install as a new device. Neither one works.
    When/if iTunes does recognize myi iPhone, I get the error message "the iPhone [my phone name] cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device.
    My email and apps that come with the phone work OK, but any optional apps I installed will not open on the iPhone.
    Please help.

    For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart.  Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem.  Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
    Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant.  I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

    Hello BRDGDD,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues using your Blu-Ray Player on your HP Pavilion Elite e9140f running Windows Vista. I am going to approach this from a couple different directions.
    First, we are going to try to put back the original drivers that came with your computer using the HP Support document: Performing a Software Application or Driver Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you though using the HP Recovery Manager to restore the original drivers on your computer.
    Second, if you are still not able to use the Blu-Ray Player we are going to try using the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows Vista), which we will use to roll your system back to a point in time where your Blu-Ray player worked. This will not affect your personal files, but it will affect any applications you have installed between now and the date you choose and any settings you have changed during the same time.  These will have to be re-installed and/or re-changed.
    Lastly, if you are still not able to install the software or are still not able to use your Blu-Ray Player I am going to suggest you back up any personal files, bookmarks and such to a USB drive or something and then follow the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you through recoverying your computer back to factory settings.
    ***NOTE: Be warned you will loose everything so ensure you backup what you want to keep!
    If none of the above work and your still having issues it appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.

    Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.

  • Will a pavilion a1737c work with windows 7 64 bit

    The HP Pavilion a1737c came with OS Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32 Bit,   AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core processor 4200+  2.20GHz,  2GB Ram,    Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE Graphics  and  320GB HD. Will this computer run Windows 7 64 Bit well.

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion a1737c Desktop Computer. I have a HP Pavilion Media Center a1632x Desktop Computer that has very similar specs as your computer. Same chipset, though yours is socket AM2 and mine is socket 939... yours is a couple of months newer with a slightly faster CPU and slightly faster DDR2 memory. I installed 4GB of memory... upgraded from the factory 1GB. Mine runs Windows 7 64-bit in this configuration without any issues and it does it surprisingly well.
    Only thing you may want to change later... is a new video graphics card, which may require a new power supply.

  • Updating G50-80 BIOS for Windows 10 64-bit

    I have recently bought a G50-80 80E501LRIN model and I upgraded my OS from Windows 8.1 64-bit to Windows 10 64-bit. I want to update my BIOS to the latest version and have struck upon this link: http://support.lenovo.com/in/hi/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-80/downloads/DS102231 . Support for Windows 10 64-bit isn't mentioned anywhere on the page. But I've also noticed that softwares for Windows 8.1 64-bit work flawlessly in Windows 10 64-bit. Should I update my BIOS with this one or wait for a Windows 10 one specifically?

    Disregard. I found that if you go into the BIOS, disable Wireless, boot up, shut down, boot into Bios, re-enable Wireless and boot back up, it solved the bluetooth issue.

    can i upgrade VGA removable card for HP Pavilion dm4t 1000 ?

    T2, you don't mention how much system memory that you have installed.  Windows 7 will run best with 3GB of memory.  Also, integrated memory is always lacking in any games.  The 128MB is not allocated at one time.  It is only used as needed.  If you want to play games, you should upgrade your memory and upgrade to a standalone video card.  I don't believe that a driver update will make any difference.

  • Wireless connection problems Windows 7 64-bit

    I have a Photosmart B110a printer, and 2 PCs running Windows 7.  1 PC is 64-bit and the other is a 32-bit.
    Recently it has become impossible to print - neither PC will communicate to the printer.  The printer always appears offline.  I recently downloaded a patch for the 64-bit PC which I thought would fix this problem, but it hasn't resolved it.

    OK, make sure the router is freshly rebooted.  If you have security systems with their own firewalls, disable those firewalls.

  • HP Pavilion g6 ___ Problem : Windows 7 Bitlocker.

    Hi.
    I have an HP Pavilion g6. 
    My problem is that. I have a 150 GB logical drive. I protected that drive with Win 7 Bitlocker protection. Accidentlly I formatted that drive using quick format. Main scenario is that I formatted that drive when it was in locked / protected state. So I used lots of recovery tools, my 90 GB data recovered. But problem is that due to the formatting of protected bitlocker drive , recovered data is also in protected state that is in encrypted form. So what I do ?  I have Bitlocker recovery key. 
    Please give me solution. My data is very important. 
    As per my knowledge, my data is still in intact , quick format just deletes the indexes and object name from mft is it ?
    Thanks in advance . . . !

    Hi KetanPote,
    I understand you need assistance with BitLocker recovery keys.Here is a link from Microsoft on BitLocker recovery keys: Frequently asked questions.
    Here is also a document from Microsoft on quick format.
