Qosmio F - New BIOS settings can't be saved

When I enter BIOS and when I do some changes and want to save them I can not. It seems I have to restart. I have the latest BIOS update. Come on Toshiba.
Who do I have to contact to report problems such as this or the fact that my function buttons still don't work even that I have reinstalled VAP software.

My Qosmio is an F10-124. It was running a fully updated version of XP MCE and had not been much trouble apart from a completely new motherboard etc under warranty! It also has 2gig memory and a 160gig HDD which for some reason now is only showing 127gig.
I purchased an upgrade WIN7 package a few weeks ago and installed it, and it runs fine, better I think than XP. Drivers took a while to update but it was plain sailing really.
However I had a niggling feeling that there might be a better BIOS by now. Toshiba's site told me the latest version for this machine is 1.40 whereas it already has version 2.0. I think the site just has no support for these re-boarded machines which have R at the end of the part number. This trips up Tempro until the R is removed. I have tried the only W7 32 BIOS I can find so far, version 2.20, but installation fails, so maybe it's best left alone for now.
Don't know if this is any more than academic but at least I have succeeded running W7. Now, Qosmio Player, that's another story.

BIOS Settings - Can anyone recommend a good reference?

OK, so I just finished building a new system and am tinkering around in the BIOS, and I came to the realization quickly that I have only a limited idea of what I'm doing!
I'm using an ASUS Rampage III Formula MOBO, so their BIOS is of the Americal Megatrends flavor.
Anyone have a reference - book or online source - of exactly what these "new" BIOS settings actually are, what they mean, and what they do?
In advance, help is appreciated!
Bill

The mobo manual is the best source I know. Each possible setting is described, although not in a bed-side manner.

Qosmio X500 - NEW BIOS update - 1.90

Found a new BIOS update 1.9 on the Australian Toshiba Website. This morning it was showing version 1.40, but now it says version 1.90. I will try it on my X500 when I get home tonight, see if it fixes the Sleep-wake up issue.

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

A305D-S6886 New Hard Drive - Can't Wake From Sleep, BIOS issue

Well I hope this is the right area and this gets listened to, I use sleep often... >.<
Laptop is a A305D-S6886 Satellite bought from ToshibaDirect.
So I dropped my laptop, and the HDD is busted. No biggy right? So I bought a new one. Spefically this one. It is a Western Digital, my Dell laptop friend used it, good reviews, exact equilivant to the one I use. Great!
So I add it right in, easy enough. Boot up the laptop, install Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. Install all of my software, Toshiba software, copy all files, all updates, etc. It is done!
Go to school next day, and while using laptop it feels funny, like it keeps hanging. Why? It hangs when I try to resume from sleep/standby OR hibernation! That won't do. I do a bit of Googling. Tried that hotfix for 1 TB or bigger SATA hard drives, didn't work. More Googling shows this is an issue with Win7 in the beta/release client, both 32 and 64 bits. Nothing on the RTM or build 7600 except for the 1 TB or bigger SATA hard drives. Hm, maybe the HDD is broken?
With into Ubuntu 9.10 x64 Desktop edition, opened up wonderful thing called "Disk Utility." It said the following: Disk was healthy, no bad sectors, and Self-test past. Well then let's run a through SMART test! I did, and it still passed. Hm, hard drive seems perfect, so what can I do? Fiddle with BIOS settings of course! (I have version 2.10)
So the only option I could find related to SATA or HDDs was SATA mode, which had the follow options: Compatibility or AHCI. It was on AHCI, so let's try Compatibility! That didn't work, still crashed. What is next? Let's install OEM Vista that came with my computer! (Vista SP1 x64 bit)
So yay, it is done! Let's put it to sleep! What's this a crash? Then it is OS independent! Now to decide which hardware it could be: BIOS, or hard drive. Next up: stick it in my desktop and install Windows 7!
So yay, w7 has installed! Put it to sleep, it works fine! Wow what could it be? I didn't have an OEM partition before, because of the new driver, could it have been an update, or maybe the BIOS? Clean install and back on laptop!
3rd W7 install later, it crashes on sleep! OEM and software/drivers is out, so that leaves BIOS! D: This took me 2 days, and I don't think I missed any possibilities. I am pretty technically able and confident, so if you have any idea what else it could be, please reply! I use sleep often! D:
P.S. I want more options in the BIOS! D:
EDIT: Maybe some specs may help:
One of the 1st A305-S6886 made I think:
AMD Turion x2 RM-72 at 2.1 GHz
4 GB DDR2 RAM at 800 mHz (Maybe 667 mHz)
ATI HD 3470 and HD 3200, in "CrossFire"
BIOS version is 2.10
Screen size is 15.4
Chicony WebCam is broken, due to cable tearing in the case (I voided my warrenty D
This exact hard drive
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate currently installed
EDIT 2: Also, it SOMETIMES seems to resume from sleep, specifically after long periods of times in sleep mode.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like something else besides the hard drive was "busted" when you dropped it. Does it do this when you use hybernation as well as when you use sleep?
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

New Computer locks up then loses some bios settings

I just built a new system with the following pieces
2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 4000
Board: MS-7025
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 02/17/2005
4x 512meg samsung
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT bfg oc agp
Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W
NVIDIA STRIPE 372.62G [Hard drive] (400.09 GB) -- drive 0
photosmart printer card reader (HPH11) [Hard drive] -- drive 2
PLATINUM 080G 2F5400 USB Device [Hard drive] (81.96 GB) -- drive 1
Occasionally system will have a hard freeze and require a reboot. When this happens some of my bios setting change (agp becomes pci, I have to setup raid0 again and video card memory becomes 128). This does not happen after a normal startup and no other changes occur i.e. time and date are not reset. Thanks for any help.
Clint

You lose of bios settings is classic lack of power. The 12v output for Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W is only 18a MAX, meaning you will essentially run @ about 12a under normal conditions. This isn't enough power for the Neo 2, which likes good clean power in the 24a range.

X1 Carbon - Can't unlock Bios settings

Hi!
For testing purposes I've set an supervisor password and set a lock on the Bios settings. Since then I can't access the settings because I'm never asked for the supervisor password. Biometric features are enabled. So when I restart and press F1 I get into the bios without beeing asked for a password but I can't change values there.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi WhiteThinPad21, welcome to the forums,
ensure the system is totally shut down, no restart, hybrid sleep or hibernation state and then press and hold F1 when you start the system. Enter the supervisor when required and after that you should be able to change the settings.
