Updated Bios and hibernation

Hi, I have a  K8T Neo that was working just fine for me until I Live Updated the Bios.  Basically, the case I have has a big honking obnoxious case light that hooks up using a HD power connector.  So the thing never turns off unless the power supply is off, and this isn't conducive to sleeping.  Putting the system in stand by has never been an option because the lights stay on.  But I used to be able to put it into hibernation and everything would be great.
Verizon finally comes along and hooks up my DSL so I decide to update my bios so that to see if a bios update will make my expensive CAS 2 memory actually run at CAS 2 without windows crashing.  Well, the good news is the update worked in that respect.  But my computer will no longer hibernate.  When i try to put it into hibernation it seems to go in to the old standby mode.  Meaning the fans keep running, the lights stay on, and I don't sleep....  However, to top things off, there is now no way to wake the computer up from standby or hibernation.  It will not respond to the keyboard, USB mouse, or the power button.
I've tried fiddling with every power management bios setting I could think of.  I just can't make it work.
Has anyone else experience the same problem?

The symptoms / problems probably change when BIOS updates happen
since the BIOS update causes all BIOS / CMOS / NVRAM settings  to pretty much
reset to the new BIOS's default values, and these may differ from what you had
selected before.
I've just updated to 1.92B BIOS for my MS-6702-020 / K8T NEO FSR and that
plus the AMD CPU Driver makes Cool & Quiet work, but "S3/STR" standby mode
always crashes W2K SP4 when the Wake-Up is  initiated.
I know that having add in cards that have drivers and hardware that support
being put to sleep and being woken up are critical for success in general, but
in my case I have only one add in card, and it's a pretty new design AGP 3.0
PCI 2.3 ATI RADEON 9800 PRO with new drivers, so I'd assume it can properly
support sleep / wake up.
I'd suggest you go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
and apply all available updates, reboot, go back there, check to see if there
are any new upapplied ones, and keep doing that until it shows you're totally
up to date.   If you run XP, be sure you have SP2 installed and all the other
updates too.
Go to the OEM home page of all your add in card vendors like your  video card,
sound card,  whatever you have and get / install the latest compatible driver for
your OS -- that may help your suspend mode and long term stability.
I'll update my posts if I discover any other helpful information or diagnostic clues.
EDITED -- I just discovered that one has to set the
"Allow this device to wake the system from standby" check box for the
mouse & keyboard and other devices e.g. USB ones or maybe others in
W2K Control Panel -> Device Manager -> select the particular keyboard/mouse/etc
device -> then the "Power Management" tab, then check the
"Allow this device to wake up the system" optiion.
One ALSO has to set the "WAKE UP EVENTS" and "WAKE ON USB" settiings
in the Power Management  BIOS configuration screen.
Once I did that USB keyboard / mouse wake up from  S1/POS standby or
S3/STR standby worked for me where it did not work before.
(though S3/STR still crashes upon the wake up for me).
Maybe that'll help the original poster also since s/he mentioned a similar
failure to generate a standby wake-up.
Re: "hijacking" -- not at all, I'm trying to provide answers or feedback
relating specifically to the "standby / suspend / wake up" and
"when I upgraded my BIOS things changed" issues  the original poster mentioned.
As for hibernate vs. suspend, I have no idea why THAT changed for the original
poster, and I can't comment on getting hibernate mode working for them, so
I confined my reply to the other issues that I do have experience with
(suspend / wake up / bios options clearing when you upgrade BIOS).
I understand they prefer to hibernate vs. suspend, but the fact is the
majority of problems they mentioned ARE suspend/standby/wake up ones!

  • GT-70 2OD Touchpad Problem (disabling button) after updating BIOS and EC

    Hi All,
    I was solving issues with random BSOD's (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=176615.0), but now I got the button that Disables the Touchpad malfunctioning.
    I just updated BIOS and EC to 2014-01-17 Versions from MSI website.
    The button is not disabling the touchpad and also the LED is not working (well, it used to turn on when the touchpad was disabled), however the "touchpad enabled" picture is showing on the screen everytime the button is pushed.
    It's not a major thing, but you know how perfectionists are .... Any idea how to solve this? I'm just going to try updating the touchpad driver with latest from MSI website and let you know the result
    Thanks in advance,
    PS: Nice community. I just joined this forum and I received a lot of help already!!!!

    Quote from: darkhawk on 05-February-14, 01:00:21
    Did you perform the EC Reset procedure outlined on the website?
    Just to reiterate it:
    1. Turn off the laptop.
    2. Remove the Battery.
    3. Remove the AC adapter.
    4. Let the laptop sit there for 20 minutes.
    5. Install the Battery.
    6. Install the AC adapter.
    7. Turn on the laptop.
    This might help fix the issue.
    Yep, I followed step by step to update the EC.
    I just removed original synaptic driver for the touchpad and Installed latest from MSI website. The button doesn't work as before (I was able enable/disable at will), now its behavior is as follows (and I think it was made intelligently):
    You can't disable the touchpad if no other pointing device is present
    When another pointing device is present, the touchpad disables itself and the button LED is ON (as before). You can't enable the touchpad (before I was able to enable it) if another pointing device is present.
    For me, it's OK. BTW... had been about 22 hours without BSOD...
    Thank you guys!!!
    PS: I just realized that I re-connected my PS3 controller via USB (in the very same USB port that I use to connect it) and the laptop REINSTALLED drivers for it...

  • Information: Update BIOS and Battery Firmware to ensure full charge capacity

    Is your system’s BIOS and battery firmware updated to the latest level?
    If not, you may not be getting the maximum capacity and run time from your battery!
    Lenovo’s engineering team released updated BIOS and battery firmware in July that is applicable to customers who have ThinkPad models:
    X100e, L410/L510, L412/L512, SL410/SL510, T410/T410i, T510,T510i, W510 or ThinkPad Edge, 13, 14, or 15 inch units. 
    Customers who use Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox would have received a notification and opportunity to apply this update, and Lenovo’s ThinkVantage System Update tool would also identify and apply these updates. 
    If you aren’t using either of these tools, and have one of the systems above, please follow this link to our support site.  You can learn more there, and download and install the updates specific to your system.
    Probably also worth mentioning, is an earlier tip applicable to X200t and X201t tablet users who have 8 cell extended batteries.  This technical tip and related BIOS updates ensure these batteries properly charge to their full capacities, and resolves a particular symptom where the battery would stop charging at less than 50%.
    Source Lenovo Blogs: Update BIOS and Battery Firmware to ensure full charge capacity
    Recommendation before updating bios:
    - detach all devices from you system
    - undock your system, if docked
    - start from a cold boot. (shutting down the system completely, wait 15 min, start up again)
    - if possible, upgrade with a cd-rom drive

  • Should I update BIOS and hardware firmware when installing XP?

    I will soon be receiving a ThinkPad R61 and I plan to downgrade the OS to Windows XP by following this guide to the letter.  However, one part of the guide is unclear to me.
    It states that updating the BIOS and hardware firmware are optional.  How do I decide whether I should do this?  What are the consequences of not doing it?  How badly can I damage my computer by doing it incorrectly -- can I destroy it?
    Thanks! 

    As it says in the guide many times.
    "THE BIOS AND THE HARD DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE ARE
    NOT NECESSARY. IF YOU ARE WARY OF BIOS UPDATES, THEN I SUGGEST YOU SKIP
    THOSE TWO UPDATES AND CARRY ON WITH THE GUIDE."
    The BIOS updates sometimes fix errors that may or may not affect you. You would have to read the txt file associated with it to determine if you want to do it or not.  Some folks have to have the latest and greatest and some people have issues that are fixed in the BIOS update.
    A BIOS update gone wrong will render your Thinkpad completely useless.
    I think that if it is not broken, don't fix it.
    Be sure to make the recovery disc set before doing anything else.

    Hi bellcart,
    Here's your driver page. 
    What drivers are you looking for?  Do you have unknown devices in Device Manager?  Almost all the drivers on that page are for xp or Vista.  Vista drivers sometimes work for Windows 7.
    I would run Windows Update and check the optional updates for anything you might need.
    Edit:  I would stay away from the drivers update sites.  They say they find drivers in their scan, then you buy it, and then the drivers won't install.

    No it doesn't help at all.
    Especially when I can be corrected.
    Lenovo is lazy and disrespectful to its customers.

    Hello I have discovered the y50 Uhd refresh ratecan be fixed the promblems stems from this orginally.  When the y50 came out theIntel® HD Graphics 4600which was used for display could only run uhd at 30hz so lenovo released a custom driver and bios too make it run at 48hz with windows 10 being released intel has updated the driverit now features dx11 and dx12 support and can run uhd at 60hz I completely deleted the lenovo drivers and unistalled them restartedand install intel drivers because deleting and the drivers is the only way you can install intel drivers as the lenovo drivers act more like a virus and locks you in too only using there drivers i quickly notices a shaper image and more deeper colors in the screen but it was still capped at 48 which leads me to the conclusion that indeed lenovo  capped it in biosor else it would of ran at 60 hz thanks too the new drivers also another thing lenovo did was block the ability to choose xmpfiles for highquality ram in bios this needs too be fixed because this a gaming laptopand lenovo you need to leave the bios alone you cant update you nvidia driversyou cant update you intel drivers and you permently limit people and they can not work around because simply you want to also lock there bios It feels like I was loaned a computer and i dont own it you cant pick and choose xmp setting like a real gaming laptop you need to fix this pronto stop locking everything. This is no longer your computer.. see the update here from intel now 60hzhttp://ark.intel.com/products/78934/Intel-Core-i7-4720HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz scroll down to the graphics specifcation section of this cpuyes this is the same cpu in the y50 monitor specs below SAMSUNG LTN156FL02-L01 Datasheet, Specification, Stocks, RFQs, Suppliers. a-Si TFT-LCD, 15.6', 3840×2160, 270 nit, 700:1 (Typ.), 16.7M color, 60Hz, WLED, eDP (4 Lanes) ...

  • Aspire S7 392 - Updating BIOS and VT-x

    I bought the S7 with the latest Intel i7 cpu a few days ago and figured that there is no option in the BIOS to enable VT-x support. This is absolutely frustrating for a laptop in this price range. The Intel CPU could handle it but the feature is turned off. I don't know why Acer disables this feature. Acer, please update the BIOS to enable VT-x support!!! 

    hi, Dead Acer, what are you waiting for?
    To disable VT-X, and to do not provide any way to enable it is not only a shameless limitation but also a violation of the specs you provide on your website and, per se, part of the sale contract. You advertize a i7-4500U in your full specificaton (http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.MBKAA.029). You did not mention in any place this limitation, be online or in the product documentation.  Intel does provide VT-X for this CPU model (http://ark.intel.com/products/75460/Intel-Core-i7-4500U-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_00-GHz), and as you can see in this report (and other in various places), we all expect to actually get what we pay for. To get to the point, what is preventing you to enable VT-X settings via the BIOS right now? What does prevent you for the troubles that this issue could lead to?
    Cheers,

  • Updated bios and t410 won't boot windows

    My t410 was running BIOS version 1.35, and I was trying to use it with 4 displays. After more than 10 hours of reading the knowledgebase, forums, and googling for help, I had come across many articles that probably would have held the solution except when I tried to do the steps involved there was always something that didn't work. So, I decided to flash update the bios to version 1.43 to see if that would fix the problem, and now whenever I power on the laptop, the bios loads, but then I get an error saying "ERROR 1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - power off and remove the miniPCI network card."
    So, 1) How do I solve the network card problem, and 2) How do I run more than 2 screens simultaneously.
    My machine type model is 25376T1
    Embedded controller version: 1.18 (I don't know what this is)
    My computer specs: i7 Core, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA 3100M Graphics (mostly integrated, some discrete graphics as well, I don't know how much of either).

    Okay, so I am now aware that the problem with the network card was that it was not bought from Lenovo and only supported on the specific bios version 1.35. That problem is now solved, does anybody have any ideas for my second concern?

  • Re: Portege R500 - How to update BIOS on Windows 7?

    Hello,
    I want to update the bios of my Portege R500 to the 1.6 version. It's a windows-update BIOS and when I launch it under Windows 7, I get the message:
    [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed.
    I have to reinstall XP in order to update the Bios? File name is P0058v160.exe. Does anyone know if BIOS update works in Virtualisation mode? I would install Sunbox VM, install XP and run the BIOS update. But will it work?
    Does anyone has an idea?
    Regards,
    Roro

    Hi
    You cannot format the 32GB SHCI card because the card reader of R500 support only SDHC cards up to 8GB!
    So even you will update the BIOS, the 32GB SDHC card will not be recognized
    Back to your BIOS update question;
    Since the BIOS is OS independent, the BIOS update should work using Win 7 too.
    As far as I know some Toshiba tools are needed in order to start the BIOS update.
    Using Win XP you need Common Modules installed.
    Using Vista or Win 7 the VAP (value added package) should be installed.

  • Satellite A200-1DN - How to update BIOS for Windows 7

    I'm running 32bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I've been having battery problems (plugged in, not charging) and I understand I need to update my BIOS. However I can't find a BIOS update for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.
    Can anyone help? Should I update with the Vista BIOS? Are there any other options for solving this battery problem? I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
    Any advice would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before doing, try this:
    Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off
    Remove the battery pack. Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
    Re-insert the battery pack and plug the computer into the AC adapter
    > I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
    by the way, did you have the same issue before installing Win 7?

  • Z87-GD65 - Need help updating BIOS, might've bricked

    I recently tried to flash/update my motherboard and I think I might've bricked it. Could somebody confirm and tell me what I should do?
    I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard with an Intel i5 4690k.
    My BIOS was an older version and I needed to update to support Haswell refresh. This is what happened:
    I downloaded the latest BIOS update from the MSI website, extracted the files to a USB. I plugged that in and updated the BIOS through the MFLASH feature in the MSI BIOS. I updated the MSI BIOS & ME with the USB and I think the updating got to around 30-40% before the screen went black then after a little bit I got back to the BIOS menu. I checked the version and confirmed that the BIOS was updated to the latest version.
    Thereafter I restarted my computer a few times and noticed that it took a little longer for the system to get to the prompt to enter "DEL" to get to BIOS compared to the first time when I booted my computer. Everything else seemed fine so I went ahead and turned off the computer again and removed the USB and replaced it with another USB to install Windows. Then as the computer booted I see an screen that shows the BIOS and ME is updating from 30%-100% then my screen went black. Now when I turn on the computer it remains black but the system powers on/fans work.
    I looked up several sources to make sure I was flashing the MOBO correctly and I followed all the directions I found through MSI.
    I pretty much followed the instructions here exactly:
    Also I think my motherboard comes with a back-up BIOS. Is that a viable option to switch to? Are there any difference, how does it work? Also would resetting the CMOS do anything? I've been trying to figure out how I can fix the problem without having to RMA but was hoping to get some more knowledgeable advice before doing anything.
    Thanks!

    1. Could you elaborate on step D? How do I make sure legacy USB is enabled?
    Enter bios -> Integrated periphals and check the USB settings.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    2. In step F, do I have to flip the switch to BIOS B on my motherboard then boot the computer with the USB plugged in?
    You should already be at the working bios (b) so there should be no need for switching. But of course boot from the good bios.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    3. Step G: How do I switch back to the bad BIOS without restart/powering down? Do I flip the switch on the motherboard to BIOS A while the computer is still on?
    Yes, you switch to the bad bios WITHOUT restarting or turning off while the machine is running.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    4. Step H: Will the directions be on a prompter once I switch to the bad BIOS or are there some directions online I'm missing?
    Once you switched nothing will change for you. You will have the options from the MSI USB tool youbooted from the stick we prepared earlier. There you select the number of the flash option
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    Thank you so much!
    I have a few clarification questions.. just for reference this is all for a new PC I just built and doesn't have any OS installed:
    5. Step I: What exactly is the ME drivers? When I originally tried to flash the drive there were two options: Update BIOS and Update BIOS & Me. So after I flash the 1B BIOS, I install windows as normal then once I get to the desktop I install the ME drivers in the link, right?
    Right. What comes with the bios is the ME firmware (hardware level) but in Windows you also need to install the driver (software level). Therefor you install the driver linked after all went fine and you are back in Windows.

Maybe you are looking for
