Like said, if a problem isn't explicitely fixed by a BIOS update, don't.
Choppy video sounds like a problem with the graphics card driver.
But I did this week's guessing just in the other post, so please say:
What the BSOD say.
What game is choppy - say em all, please.
PSU is also very good to know.
WoW
Tibia
I got good fps at both games but they are choppy.
And i cant read what the BSOD say becuase it is only showing like 2 sec then restarting.

Whether you suck at computers or not has nothing to do with it. We are here to help each other out with solving problems and advice/warnings where needed.
 What makes you think a BIOS update will fix your problem? What you decribed does not look like a BIOS problem.
 Read this >> Forum USB BIOS flashtool << and >> motherboard & BIOS ID << Download & run this >> Central Brain ID << it will give you the OPN number of your CPU.
First i have one question..what is "VIA Serial ATA Controller - 0591" a program says that i dont have that updated. It is under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers".
Damn i just saw that im using the ADX6000IAA6CZ  (125W)!!!

  • BIOS Update causes Blue Screen of Death - PLEASE HELP

    PLEASE HELP!!
    After recently reformatting a Lenovo 3000 N200 (XP SP3), I downloaded the Lenovo Care (or whatever it's called), which downloaded a whole lot of updates, drivers....
    The last thing that was downloaded was a BIOS Update. Before flashing and reprogramming the BIOS, the program created a backup of the old BIOS.
    Since the BIOS Update, I can no longer turn on the laptop without the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). When I try to turn it on, it shows the Lenovo startup screen, then goes to the "previous attempt was interrupted" menu (the menu where you can choose 'Safe Mode'...), and no matter which option I choose, it starts to show the XP startup screen (with the progress bar), for 1/2 a second, then displays the BSOD for 1/2 a second (too fast too even read what it says or even get the error code).
    What can I do to remedy the situation? Can I somehow access the backup of the old BIOS to restore it? Or is there something else I can do?
    BTW, When I click F1 on the Lenovo startup screen (to get into the BIOS settings) it shows the BIOS version to be "68ET35WW (V3.03) - which is apparently the latest version for that laptop

    If you have restored the device as new and tested it without using your backup and it is still malfunctioning, then you need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider, depending on your location, and have the hardware checked.

  • Satellite L840 - BIOS update and blue screen

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Toshiba L840-04E (PSK8LA- O4E007) and installed Windows 7 64bit.
    Issue: BlueScreen
    Question: I assume this is the dreaded "blue screen of death" and I need to do something to prevent servious problems in the future (I've used the laptop lightly for a couple of days with no issues).
    How do I analyze the dump information to find out what caused the blue screen?
    Or is it best to go back to the last restore point before the blue screen event? A restore point was made before I updated the BIOS from v 1.80 to 6.20. Also, Toshiba shows that there is a new BIOS 6.30 version.
    Before the blue screen event I had changed the setting for the on/off button to "shut down" and made a few minor other changes to settings and then just before the blue screen error I plugged in a Seagate External Hard Drive.
    Are there any suggestions about what steps I should take?
    Thanks so much.

    Hi
    Generally the BSOD appears due to serious software problem or hardware problem.
    You said you connected an external USB HDD to the notebook right before the BSOD appeared so probably the BSOD was caused by the attached HDD who knows
    If this happened for the first time, dont be afraid it could be just a temporal problem
    But if it would appear often, you should investigate a little bit and should try to replicate the issue and the reason for that

  • Lenovo G530 bios update now blue screen!!!

    Ok i have a lenovo G530 with service code 4446-23u. I downgraded to windows XP and it was running fine. I was on lenovo.com and saw that there were newer bios then what i was using(i think i had 1.06, and there is now 1.09 ) so i decided to flash my bios to get them up to date. It flashed fine and asked me to reboot so i said Ok and now everytime i try to start the computer it goes through the bios screen onto the windows XP boot screen then flashes the "Blue Screen" and reboots. It won't start in safe mode or any mode. I put in my XP disk to reinstall XP and i get it to boot from cd and it loads for a while then goes to the "blue screen". Anyone know what is causing this? or how to fix it? I am completely fine with going back to the old bios but don't know how to do that or if its possible.
    these are the bios i used:

  • J2SE Runtime V5 Update 6 = Blue screen of death.

    Hi,

    I've chkdsk and analysis the disk and both reported fine.
    Thanks.

  • Recent software updates causes blue screen

    I installed Leopard last week and it's been working just fine.
    Last night the software update application upadted 5 apps - iTunes, Quicktime, Keychain, and a couple others I can't remember. Since the update I havn't been able to login and use my system - when it starts up it eventually stalls at a blue screen.
    I've read reports of people having this issue after upgrading to Leopard, but like I said, I upgraded to Leopard just fine and have been using it for over a week.
    I just discussed this with a support agent who suggested I try another archive & install - I'll post the results.
    In the meantime, has anyone else run into this?
    Also, would Audio Hijack's Instant Hijack (Rogue Amoeba software) and Little Snitch be considered "extensions" that might lead to this issue?

    As it turns out, I had an Application enhancer I didn't even know about. I must have installed it a long time ago, tried it, lost interest, and forgot about it.
    I followed the steps here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306857 and I've managed to boot and login.

  • HT201269 ios7 update to blue screen

    I had a popup asking to update to ios7.02 last night, I hit the details button and now my phone will not turn back on.  I do get the moving circle  in the middle, but more importantly I get the blue screen of death!

    Not uncommon problem. Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • New Mac Software update causes blue screen

    Hello, I need some help...
    I Updated my Macbook Pro with the reqular Mac software update (includes quicktime, itunes and a couple others) I was given the option to "shut down" or "restart"...
    I clicked "shut down".
    My computer then proceeded not to turn off but simply turn to a blue screen...
    After some time I turned off my machine and restarted it...
    It took a little longer time to start up as it usually does after a software update...
    But after going through the main white screen with the apple, then moving through to the next screen that has the loading bar. that loading bar window comes up for a split second and then disappears leaving a blue screen with the cursor and then does nothing more...
    I am stuck with a blue screen and a curser...
    I have already tried to start up in safemode...
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Very astute question, for Tiger on Intel you must use the exact install disk for that Model, Gray in color for one thing.
    One thing to try other than a Safe Boot...
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Tough without the Tiger Disk problems, but try fsck...
    To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
    1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
    (SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
    3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:

    The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK 
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *** 

Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

  • Lenovo thinkpad L412 blue screen when i move my laptop

    i am using lenovo thinkpad L412 laptop
    my screen gets blue screen when i move my laptop. if i dont move it it just works fine.
    i tried to update my stytem for latest driver and software but still problem doesnt go away.
    i also run the diagnostic test for hardware but it doesnt show any problem.

    You can't have a blue screen in bios, blue screens are a "feature" of Windows OS.
    What is the error code mentioned on the blue screen? This could give information about the nature of the problem.
    You could also try to boot from a Linux Live cd distribution, such as Ubuntu for example (no need to install it, just boot from it). If the Live cd works well then most probably this is not a hardware problem but drivers related as somebody already suggested.
    Please tell us the machine type of your laptop, the operating system used and any hardware changes you have made (added memory, changed hard disk etc). Give as much details as possible!

  • Satellite A500 - Blue screen - critical errors - reboots!

    This laptop is driving me mad, why did I ever get rid of my other notebook??
    This machine caught my eye, it looks fab, but performance wise it is extremely poor - blue screens and reboots all the time, with critical errors - I've had enough!! Only bought it on 7th Jan this year, and it has done this ever since new, it has to go back!
    And by looking at the posts on this forum the problem appears prevalent, and none of the experts seem to have an answer?? Should I reallybe having to upgrade the Bios and drivers and searching for solutions to try and resolve the many issues with this machine???
    I'm gonna get a refund and buy something reliable, sorry Toshiba but I can't endorse this machine, it has caused me nothing but grief!

    the problem with the blue screen start Immediately when you begin the BIOS update and popup window going up
    After reading several articles I tried to solve the problem and thankfully I did it and I solved it ~!
    So if it happens to someone I suggest you read what I did to solved this problem :
    1) first go to your anti virus program and disable it  and turn it off . i have  norton internet security and i have neutralized all options  . (if you have a firewall that came with  the anti virus program turn it off )
    2) after this go to control panel --action center ---change user account control settings -  And put  it to the lowest level
     (never notify ) and click ok
    3) go to windows firewall and turn it off
    4) now locate the lenovo airbag protection utility  open it and go to Configuration tab and Uncheck  the box
      ( turn off)
    "enable active protection system "   and then click apply .
    all done now you can try update your bios Without getting a blue screen !
    Hope I helped them all and everyone who had this annoying problem
    thanks
    shayy

    Interesting. I've never performed any of the steps documented above and all of my BIOS updates (and updates via System Update) have been applied with no issues. Perhaps I'm just living dangerously?
    Several items, however, were omitted:
     Fully charged battery
     Connected to AC supply
     Not in a docking station
    These items have been true from day 1 of ThinkPads.

  • Blue screen while n100 XP Bios-Update

    Hello and good night!
    My Topic says nearly everything. I just came back from an friend i should install XP prof over a crashed Vista. I had deleted both partitions and installed XP Prof on one new overall partition. After a good install I installed all the driver, but USB killed my nervous. I googled and saw the new bios. After downloading i tried the automatic detect. I should use Realtek-bios. So I used it. The program run, backuped and got to the last point the new flash. 2 green dots and the blue kernel crash and reebot.
    So my question, what did I wrong? How can i patch and kick this bad usb-bug?

    Ähm thx for your ähm helping answer. BUT:
    I downloaded the Update, started the automatic. I took the automatic choice and startet the patch. After that it worked until the blue-screen and reboot.
    I can't see the point where acted wrong or took the worng choice... I worked like the program said...And I'm sure that I want to patch the USB-Bug in the old bios...

    So you are not able to access BIOS???
    Press F2 immediately (press it many times in the row) after notebook has been power on
    But if you are not able to access the BIOS, I assume that there is a serious problem with BIOS/hardware possibly something went wrong during the updatebut usually this should not happen and its sounds strange
    However, I think in such case just an ASP technician would help you.

    I still can go in the bios.
    The blue screen appear means the update has damaged my motherboard?

    try a CMOS clear with power cord removed >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    once you have reset the CMOS make sure the boot order and drive modes are correct and retry for a boot!
    <<<Do not use MSI Live Update to do BIOS flashes as it has a awful reputation for bricking BIOS chips>>>
    if doing the CMOS clear doesn't get you back up and running then you may need to attempt a manual update using either M-Flash or by >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and make a bootable USB stick with the BIOS files on it!
