Qosmio X500-11U- Question about new BIOS update

Hi to everyone
I need to clarify a matter, the BIOS update that was released December 2010 was the 2.90 now a new release march 2011 is named 1.40! Is this an upgrade a downgrade or a joke? Should I proceed with the newest 1.40 or stick with the old 2.90?
I forgot to mention that I own a X500-11U and thanks in advance

Hi nick73,
On Toshiba European driver download page there are two different versions available:
BIOS-Update 1.40-WIN for X500 PQX34E models
BIOS-Update 2.90-WIN for X500 PQX33E models
Your model the X500-11U belongs to PQX33E series and that means only BIOS Update 2.90 is compatible and 1.40 would be the wrong version.
So its not a joke and before you search for BIOS update next time, also use the correct part number ;)

How to disable Toshiba TEMPRO alerts about new BIOS update

Hi just installed TEMPRO on my W8 Satellite L875 laptop, ant it's saying there's a new bios update available - (1.60-WIN) which is the same version as I've already got.?:|
Q: how can I make this alert go-away ?
-Tom

Thanks, but that's not quite what I had in mind ...
I would have expected tempro to examine my system & installed components, and to alert me when a new/updated driver is released. I would then install the new/updated driver, and then tempro should dismiss the alert - or perhaps I'm just not understanding how tempro works ?

Question about new BIOS on Satellite L20-182

Hi :)
I've got one question: may I install new BIOS 2.20 on my Satellite L20-182 model no. PSL2XE?
If I can't, why users PSL2X can do this? Are there so many differences on both models?
Greetings and sorry for my English - I'n not the best :)

Hi,
just for explanation: the bios you mentioned is the right bios for the machine. Toshiba is not writing the full model number since there is a range of model numbers of the same model, so dont worry, they are not different. Maybe the last digit but this is not important for you.
Why I am knowing this? Because many manufacturers are doing this and I was many times confused when updating bioses from another manufacturer...

MSI P45 Neo (question about new bios v1.9)

Hi!
2009-04-03 MSI releasen new BIOS v1.9 to MSI P45 Neo
Fixed: - Disabled 5V USB function under S4/S5.
Tell me plz - what that mean ? It's very recommended update or not?
Many thanks!

If you have no problems with the BIOS Version you are currently using, there is no need to update the BIOS (and it is not recommended to do that either).
Quote
Tell me plz - what that mean ?
S4 - State = Hibernation
S5 - State = Shutdown-State
The BIOS Update should turn off the 5V power supply to the USB Ports when the system is shutdown (S5) or in Hibernation State (S4).

Qosmio X500/02 - Question about partition

Hello Forum,
I have a just purchased a Qosmio X500/02 notebook and have noticed on one of the HDD, a partition having the specs. of
NTFS (System) Pri. Act. and a size of 1.465 GB.
Is this partition created in order to use the built-in backup and restore utility?
Regards JohnBoy_Oz

Hi buddy,
Normally you have at least two partitions on your notebook. The first partition contains the Windows installation from Toshiba with all drivers and tools.
The second partition contains a folder called HDDrecovery. These files are necessary for HDD recovery option to restore factory settings on your notebook.
Usually the first partition is called WINDOWS and the second one Data.
Does the partition that you mean contain a folder called HDDrecovery or not?
As Jeka wrote, create the Toshiba recovery disk as fast as possible. It can restore factory settings all the time.

Re: Qosmio X500-12D - Question about display driver

Well I wanted best for my "pet", and I downloaded latest display drivers from Toshiba page first, then nvidia it self. What happens now, with any driver I have is next:
In dual display, when my desktop is extended to other LCD, clocks speeds of GPU CPU and Memory go to max, and heat up to 102C even if I stick in windows with no action at all even in power saving mode!
So my question is, can I correct this issue with nVidia control panel, or any older or newer drivers? Do you have problem like this? All you that have second display please try to extend desktop, and check with evga or gupz, temperatures.
I noticed that fan speed doesn't drop under 50%, and it is pretty loud for Power Saving mode, checked CPU, then GPU, and saw amazing thing max clocks + 102C
Thanks in advance.

Tell me your temperatures in idle, in dual monitor mode (if you have another monitor), or go to game or run FurMark and test it and let me know how high your temperatures go, try it out, you obviously don't play so you don't get driver display stopped working ... Guys I had Toshiba drivers and didn't work ... not anymore, well if hardware issue is here, I didn't do anything wrong ! 100% !
Well as I see there people have lots of problems, I will copy paste from another Toshiba post I made, I would be thankful if you test and answer to my questions:
Can somebody please tell me their temperature in C, idle and max load ! Please do next, download GPU-Z, go to sensors and read idle temperature, then go to dual display and leave it for 5-10 minutes and read temp then. It should be max.
I downloaded free benchmark program Ozone3D - FurMark, and I did test, extreme test last for 5 mins, 107C and my Qosmio shuts down !!!
Guys 100C in desktop while in dual display mode, and 107C probably in some games where it shuts down and on this benchmark, and remember I do have cooling pad with 2 140 mm vents it is summer, but it is around 24-25C in room, even over night it is colder it is 3 am, window opened (around 20C in room) still overheats ..
What I noticed it takes around 10-30 seconds to hop from 55C idle to 90-100C load ...
Please can somebody who thinks that doesn't have this problem let me know those answers:
1. Idle temperature
2. Load temperature of GPU
3. Drivers that you use for graphic card GTS 360M, if you don't have display driver stopped working problem !! And Dual display 100% problem
Thanks in advance.

Qosmio X500 - NEW BIOS update - 1.90

Satellite A500-149: Would new BIOS update 2.00-win solve illumination issue

Hi
I need help because i have one toshiba A500-149 but the ilumination of keyboard dont work (FN+Z).
I see a new Bios update and my question is:
This new update 2.00 win solve that problem?
this upgrate is secure?

In my opinion the BIOS 2.0 update does not solve your problem.
A friend of mine is an A500 owner and the backlight keyboard functions using old BIOS.
I think there must be another reason for your backlight problem.
Did you see this knowledge base article?
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD2603CL0000R01.htm
in some cases you need to press FN + Y due to different keyboard layout.
The FN buttons are controlled by value added package as reported by users above...
Reinstallation of VAP should help you be sure you use the latest VAP recommend using one released for newer series like A660/A665
But if the VAP does not help, and if backlight is enabled in BIOS, then there must be a hardware issue maybe the 2nd keyboard cable is not connected properly to the backlight connector loose connection might cause this

Northbridge temps and the new bios update

I know the Northbridge temperature issue has been posted before. But I’m posting in relations to the new bios update supposed to be released 08/24. Will these temp issues be resolved in this new bios update?
There could be many reasons why the Northbridge temps are so high, ranging from bad heatsink design to Northbridge fan blowing too fast. Mine runs 55C idle which is way too high…but when I go to touch the heatsink, it’s barely warm. A lot of people have been complaining about the “light show” on the Northbridge, but heck I like it. I think it’s pretty cool
One last thing I’d like to bring up, this new bios update, I don’t know whether or not 1.6 supports DDR500mhz Ram (because I don’t have it yet) but will it support it? Reason being is I plan on buying DDR500mhz Ram and do some more overclocking.
1:1 Cpu to Ram ratio here I COME!!! :D

ROFLMAO (first sign of insanity when you laugh about a such sad matter)
Maesus, its nothing personal, but do you really believe there will be a v1.8 BIOS? To me it looks like MSI has abandoned the 875P. BIOS v1.7 is supposed to come when? ...August 28th? That's 2 months since the last one and as far as I have heard there has not much changed over v1.6. When is v1.8 supposed to come? Another 2 months later? Not to speak of v1.9... That makes about 5 months to get the board working the way it was supposed to do from the first day (if v1.7 solves something at all).
Sorry, but MSI is about to lose all trustworthiness with this so called support. And moderators in a company's forum who are not even employees of that company, and have to take guesses (see Prescott support) about the products, do not help to make the situation much better (again, nothing personal). If the support team would take a look by themselves on a regularly basis (1-2 times a week) perhaps then the problems would be solved much faster. If I would work like this and not care about the customers I would have lost my job long ago.
There are still many problems. The board is on the market for some months now and memory compatibility and timings are still an issue.
I've visited many forums the last week. And I do hear (read) almost the same everywhere: Poeple who bought the 875P board say its high quality and has good features, if it only would work as supposed. MSI miserably fails to give it a working BIOS. Results in polls about "MSI 875P board good or bad" tend to be weighed horribly to "bad". Most of the ppl will never again buy a MSI board because they feel left alone with their problems.
It is clear that ppl who are satisfied do not post that in forums. But when something is wrong, they do, because they want the problems solved. But what are support forums good for when no one is listening to the complaints?
In times who prices are almost the same for the products, ppl tend to buy that product, that not only has the best features but also good support. When it comes to that MSI is not first choice.

New BIOS update may have cause BlueScreen

I got a notice on my laptop about a BIOS update and another update. After finishing the installations, i was attempting to play Halo, but when i joined a game server, my laptop BlueScreened.
It has never crashed before, and im afraid the bluescreen has something to do with the BIOS update, since thats the only significant change ive made to the computer recently.
Please help! This is a fairly new laptop!

Well so far its ok. Maybe it was just one of those 1 time errors but i dont know. I dont know the model exactly but i know its a Satellite, and the BIOS update was 1.30 of im not mistaken, but im not sure. Its not having problems now so im not going to worry about it.

Requires new BIOS update

Hi, I bought a new network card Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 and I tried to install it into my HP DV6-6171TX however the BIOS state that it is not supported. I tried to look for BIOS update but the latest update they have online is in year 2011 version F.1B. Can I get new BIOS update to that I can get the network card to work?

Ok throught the manual which I went through, I bought an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 which was also stated inside the manual however after I had changed to it and tried to bootup my laptop, the bios still have the same error. I am using the Intel processor, not the Amd one.
You have to use a wireless card under the exact part number (BIOS will reject any other and you get the error). The part number for Intel 6230 belongs to a different Intel wireless card (unfortunate error from HP). I think it's Intel 1030. Dv6-6000 series is the last series with the whitelist still in it. There is an Intel 6230 listed under a part number: 636672-001. Perhaps it will work.
edit: I have found Intel 6205 listed under 631954-001 but it's a pure wireless card, not a combo with bluetooth.

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.
