Support Assistant Suggests BIOS Update for HP ProDesk 401 G1 MT

HP Support Assistant notifies me of a BIOS update for my HP ProDesk 401 G1 MT computer running Win 7 Pro sp1.
Recommended update
HP Business Desktop System BIOS (L02)
HP Business Desktop System BIOS Package for models with an L02 BIOS
SoftPaq number SP71111 Version v02.40Ap1 Size 15.81MB
There is available disk space and the update downloads okay.
Then a new window opens titled hp BIOS Flash Update hp.
This BIOS Flash Update SoftPaq contains utilities and data files that can be used to restore or upgrade the system BIOS on Hewlett-Packard business desktops. Several methods for changing the BIOS firmware stored on your computer are provided as described below.
yadda, yadda, yadda
There are no instructions on what I am to do.
Then the installation fails.
This has happened several times now. I'm clueless. I don't even know how to check if I have an L02 BIOS. What am I supposed to be doing to update the BIOS as recommended by HP Support Assistant?

Need help finding a BIOS flash tool and BIOS updates for HP Compaq nc8230 running Windows 7

I put together this laptop. It didnt come with a hardrive, and basically I installed everything from the ground up.
It is an HP Compaq nc8230, IDE Hard drive, Windows 7 32 bit. The BIOS on it is the original one. I've searched far and wide, but to no avail, it seems there's zero support for this model anymore.
Basically it was never intended to go beyond Vista, back in 2004 when this model was introduced.
The reason I am searching for some kind of BIOS update, whether it is BIOS or SMBios is to get the ACPI driver to recognize the primary laptop battery. This is crucial: it only sees both as the travel battery. Other than that, all else is fine.

Hi:
Here is the latest BIOS update for your notebook.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
You cannot use the windows based flash because you installed windows 7, so I provided the link to the DOS based flash.
You need to use a USB floppy drive for this update.
Oh, and the card reader won't work unless you install this updated driver which is not on your PC's support and driver page.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
Also, here is the link to your PC's support and driver page...

BIOS Update for Lenovo N200 3000 0769-ASU

Hello,
I want to upgrade my hard drive but I must upgrade my BIOS, but I cannot find a BIOS Update for Lenovo N200 3000 0769-ASU with Windows 7, any help or assistance is appreciated.

Sorry for replying to an old post but I found one of theese laptops a couple of days ago where I work. (I work at a recycle station/place/something)
I decided that I wanted to try and fix it since it suffers from the issue discussed here.
I have about 15 yrs experiance with fixing computers and about 3 years with laptops and my repair succes rate is rather high.
But this laptop is a piece of very bad and **bleep**ty workmanship - The whole upper part of the mainboard is toast - the part that is just under the connection to the batteri is badly burned.
I will upload some pictures shortly, and give a detailed workaround if I get it fixed
cheers

Bios updates for 845 Ultra?

Is anyone aware of any pending bios updates for this motherboard or has it been put out to pasture ? I'd still like to see a fix for the warm restart problem when overclocking in addition to the 1.65 core voltage limitation. Before anyone says that those won't be fixed - I can wish, can't I?

I have the 845 Ultra-ARU and I am running my 1.8A at 2.52 GHz with a voltage of 1.71 actual applied volts. This system is rock stable with a fsb of 140. I have done the VID-pin mod, however. I too would also like to see a BIOS update for a couple of reasons.
1) According to the temperatures being reported by PC Alert III, my BIOS, and MBM5, my CPU idles at 50 C and goes up to 67-68 C under a full Prime95 load. The reason why I think this is faulty is because I have run my computer with the side panel off, and there is no difference in the CPU or system temperature. Also, when running the Prime95 test, I've put my hand right on the heatsink and it is BARELY warm. The heatsink is making solid contact with the CPU, so if the CPU was actually at 68 degrees C, the heatsink too would be incredibly warm. My own hand tells me that it cannot be 152 degrees Fahrenheit.
2) THE MEMORY RATIOS ARE GARBAGE!!!!! I've got a 2.52 GHz CPU that is suffering a bottleneck from the measly 2.0 GB/s that my RAM is able to feed it. Every other motherboard I've ever seen gives you the options of a couple different memory ratios. I would at least like the option to run my memory at a different speed than my fsb. Perhaps a 3:4 ratio could be done? Just something so that I can try and get a little more bandwidth out of my RAM. I know that the board is only designed to support PC1600 and PC2100 DDR RAM, but how could it hurt to give the option to support PC2400 or PC2700, maybe even PC3200 DDR RAM? Plenty of other 845 chipset based boards can do that. (Not officially, but through a variety of memory ratios.) I'm just tired of not being able to do anything with my memory.

Where is msi vga bios update for GF4 Ti cards?

It seems like many other card vendors are updating the bios on their GF4 cards for better performance. My friend got a nice performance boost on his winfast from a bios update. Everytime I search on MSI Live Update (I have to update Live Update...whats up with so many versions of a simple download utility) it says there are no vga bios updates for my GF4/4400. I read on these forums that .25 (I think) was a disaster and trashed everybodys cards. Is there news on an improved update?

Msi are going to be last, and then if they release new bios for G4Ti cards.
Don´t you now they suck, I would sell my card right now if I could.
I'm using Asus DVCR for TV because Wincoder with my version did not support full screen window.
I got fantastic stupid tips from MSI support, because my MSI-CLOCK and 3D!Turbo don't work. And it still not work with XP.
If I had 1$ for hour that i had spent to this card trying to let work right. I could get better card from other vendor. I will never get anything with MSI stamp. I'ts better to spent more money and save time for better thinks.

BIOS Update for Thinkpad (x121e) in order to make Sandisk Cruzer Extreme finally bootable?

Hello,
will there every be a BIOS update for Thinkpads (in my case x121e) so that it (the BIOS of the thinkpad) will finally be able to recognize and therefore boot from usb flash drives / sticks like Sandisk Cruzer Extreme???
(Once the OS is running, the drive is recognized just fine, but that's not what I'm here for.)
My old desktop pc from 2006 has no problems with such a "modern" drive, but my 5 years younger x121e isn't able to boot from that drive? Come on, Lenovo, you can do better, at least you should...!
I'm not sure, if that is the right place for such an inquiry, but as Lenovo apparently doesn't offer a proper support e.g. by email, I just try it this way. I once use the support by phone, only to find out that the lady on the other end had no clue whatsoever of computers and was just looking up answers in her system, which were, of course, not at all helpful.
So, for now, this is my only hope, that someone from the technical team at Lenovo reads this and gets the BIOS programmers to work...
Cheers,
Mike
[btw: I read about a similar entry where the guy finally marked his problem as solved just because he used another usb stick to boot the first one. That's not a solution, that's a work-around. I'm looking for a solution (= BIOS update), not a work-around!]

Hi, I have an x120e and when I get into the BIOS > Startup > Boot, I see the following list:
Boot Priority Order
1. ATA HDD0 Samsung SSD 830 Series (my main disk)
2. USB HDD SanDisk Cruzer Fit (a tiny usb drive that is always attached and holds assorted files)
3. USB CD
4. USB FDD
5. PCI LAN
The device can indeed boot from a USB stick. I think you will have to follow this order of events: first attach the USB you want to boot from, yet boot only from your main hard drive, to let the system recognize the attached USB drive and put it in the Boot Priority Order list, then shutdown, restart and get into BIOS. F1: to either to change the ordering in the list to put USB FDD or USB HDD SanDisk first) or F12 (I think): to choose a temp device to boot from. Or....... (another thought), the USB you want to boot from hasn't yet been made "bootable" (I think you may have to go into diskpart > etc to set it active) so isn't recognized in BIOS.
I've used a USB flash drive with my recovery partition on it to restore to factory state. That was also a Sandisk Cruzer USB. I've also booted directly into a WinPE sort of environment using another bootable USB made for the purpose of restoring from system images. Mine is an x120e; your x121e can't be much different.
Cheers!

What exactly is your problem? You should not need BIOS update for an OS install. >> Posting Guide << >> Drivers <<
Don't update BIOS unless absolutely needed for some other problem.

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A100-200 (PSAA8E)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
The BIOS on the download page is November last year, is there anything newer or does anyone know of an update that is compatible?
Thanks,
Ian

Yep, newest updates and drivers for your notebook you will find on the Toshiba download pages, as Jimi already mentioned.
Just as a little hint from my side is, that if there is nothing wrong with your notebook, just leave it as it is.
As there is the saying, never touch a running system.
So keep that in mind. ;)

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
My bios is 23/10/07 Windows Vista 32 Bit 1.80-WIN

Hi
Did you check the Toshiba European driver page?
There you could find all drivers and BIOS for the Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)
But I checked the page and the BIOS 1.8 for Win Vista 32bit is still the newest one.
Seems you are already up to date buddy ;)

Bug in latest 2 bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33

Hey guys,
Today I tried to update my bios of my FM2-A55M-E33 to the latest version(7721vA4.zip). Once everything completed succesfully, the bios wouldn't boot anymore.
I plugged out my 3TB hdd and it worked fine. I installed an earlier version of the bios(7721vA0.zip) and this did work with my 3TB hdd.
So in short:
The latest bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33 will freeze(black screen) at bios start when a 2TB+ hdd drive is plugged in.
Namely:
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.3 BIOS Release
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.4 BIOS Release
I hope you can fix this asap, especially since these are the latest updates.
Regards,
Henkie de Grote

Thx for the info anyways
