[VIA] Latest BIOS??

Hi there?
I would like to know if i really need the latest BIOS for my mobo (1.8) and why. My version is 1.7. There is an update called "VIA RAID FIRMWARE" in the latest version, but i know nothing about it. Could anyone explain what is it and what it does?
In fact, i am scared to flash my bios, so i want to know if is necessary.
Thanks!
Athlon Xp2400+
Msi KT880 Delta
Msi Ati Rx9600Pro

If your Mobo works without any problem, you don't need any Bios update. That last Bios ver. should be usefull to people that have installed RAID system for HDDs. and they have problems running it.

Errors Installing Latest BIOS on S12

I wanted to put the latest BIOS on my new IdeaPad S12. I went to consumersupport.lenovo.com and downloaded the BIOS for an 2959-54U with Intel processor. The site directed me to download a file called 20CN23WW.exe. When I try to install it I get a message WFlash Error "Model Id check error!". I tried to download again and got the same file and error. The system came preinstalled with BIOS 19CN21WW. Why are we getting this error? It seems that I got the wrong BIOS? But I tried everything, carefully multiple times. Any help would be appreciated.

Latest BIOS for MSi GTX980 Gaming 4G

Hi
as some others have done and to try and solve the no display ports working issue.
this is the bios reported via GPUZ = 84.04.28.00.F6
uploaded here https://mega.co.nz/#!JBZznaDa!aRhWJ-CQqwvsrDTYieLWcmg-5gjiNVFusMeBQ95H6FY
could you please advise if its the latest and supply a link to the latest BIOS and instruction on how to install, thanks.

Hi Svet,
As advised by MSI live update I've upgraded from 143 to 113 bios.
Seems to have solved the problem of not having a signal to my 4K monitor through DP on boot.
Also no problems so far...
I've read several posts about this being the wrong bios for my serial #.
My serial is 602-V317-15SB.....
Can you please confirm that I have the correct bios?
Thanks!

Tecra A11 - Video/Latest BIOS issues

Hello All,
I just received a Toshiba Tecra A11 the other day which is out of warranty (Refurb). When I got the laptop there was an issue where the picture was displayed at 1024x768 and off centre (In BIOS). The image was 1-2cm off screen to the left, with about 5-6cm black space to the right of the picture, the bottom 2-3 cm's of the picture were also off the bottom of the screen.
I installed Ubuntu Studio initially and attempted to force the display to a widescreen resolution. I didn't have any luck, I also installed Win7 but still with the latest drivers I had no luck.
This was strange because BIOS was displayed the same way so naturally I decided to upgrade to the latest BIOS version. The BIOS on the laptop was quite old (End of 2009).
I downloaded the BIOS update from Toshiba's web site, and ran the update.
The new BIOS was installed and the machine rebooted.
However there was no picture displayed on the LCD panel, windows did successfully boot, if I connect an external monitor to the laptop I get picture. When starting the laptop the LCD backlight does light up.
My question is: What can I do to resolve this issue? Is there a BIOS recovery or downgrade tool available? Is it possible to reflash the bios? What is recommended?
Thanks.

Does this mean that everything is ok using external monitor?
Can you access the BIOS pressing F2 and can you set it to default settings?
Usually you can switch between external and internal display using the key combination FN + F5. Does it work?

X240 will not boot after latest bios update

I bought windows 8 .1 machine from factory. Then I had local shop install 8.1 on larger ssd. I just performed latest bios update and now machine will not boot. I am sure this is uefi related but I am not knowledgable in that area. The boot parameter returned to me by the shop was "legacy only" and secure boot was disabled.

Since doing the BIOS update are the settings still as you noted above? You also didn't mention which SSD is now installed in the system.
Just as an aside, installing Windows 8.1 in legacy mode isn't exactly optimal. Were there any particular reasons for this? Just being curious.

WD6400BPVT SATA hard drive in Satellite A100 LE1(E) not recognized by latest BIOS

I recently purchased a WD6400BPVT (640GB) 2.5" SATA drive to replace the original 80GB drive. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version (2.30). With the new drive installed the system hangs on the splash screen when the BIOS tries to recognize the drive. I can not even enter the BIOS. If I put the old drive back in, the system boots fine again. I know the new drive is good because I have installed it sucessfully in an A100-0FH (also with the latest BIOS - vesion 6.00 without issues.
I tried Toshiba techical support in Canada and all they could tell me was to install SATA drivers. I tried to explain to them that the system does not get to the OS, so it is impossible to do so and it would not help in any event. Then they wanted me to pay for service since the system is out of warranty. I asked if they would refund my money if they failed to "fix" it, and the lady said "no". When a BIOS upgrade is required no technician willl be able to fix my problem. When I declined to pay the lady just hung up on me. So much for service.
I am trying desperately to bring this issue to Toshiba's attention. I know a simple BIOS update will fix it. If the WD640 does not work, which other drives will not work? How many drives to I have to buy to try to find one that works?
I have 5 Toshiba Satellite notebooks in the family, one that had to go in for warranty repairs twice. They followed up to make sure I was happy and I have been a very happy Toshiba customer so far. The treatment I got from technical support in Canada francly sucked. I am hopinng that someone withing Toshiba will read this and pass it to their BIOS people and then e-mail me an updated BIOS that will recognize my drive. Failing that I would at least hope for a list of large 2.5" SATA drives that my A100 LE1 will recognize.
Thank you.

Thx lorddethstalker.
I dropped the original sticks of RAM back in. Same error with TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard. Same apparent dead end with System Recovery Wizard. I get to System Recovery Options where I do not see the Vista operating system and am instructed to load drivers for the hard disk--but do not know what I am supposed to load from where.
I also do not know what I should expect to encounter in the context of a new SATA drive + Toshiba recovery disks. I sort of expected a plug and play scenario, plug in the new hard drive, boot to recovery disks, format new hard disk and install OS. How do I determine the drivers I should load at the System Recovery Option screen, and/or what should the "normal" sequence of events be with new SATA?
Gracias.

Boot Fail after latest BIOS Update on Flex 2-15D

Hi everyone,
I have a severe problem (I guess) after the latest BIOS Update. Windows 7 freezes during startup.
I own a 64-bit Lenovo FLex 2 15D with AMD A6-6310 and R4, 4GB RAM and a SSHD (8GBSSH). I purchased it without OS and installed Windows 7 - which worked fine so far.
I yesterday updated the BIOS with version 9FCN23WW (for Win7 and Win8), the latest BIOS update. A mistake, it seems.
After Reboot, I first had to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS, because it would not let me boot at all. I figured out how to get into the BIOS-Setup to disable this (press Enter 2x, press Tab when in the Boot Menu to access the "Apps Menu", then "SETUP" - just in case this helps someone).
Now Win7 begins to start up, but freezes during the startup process (the splash screen with the win flag freezes and looks a bit strange. I used the "protected mode" Windows Startup and saw that the process always hangs when loading "amdkmpfd.sys".
That is basically it.I guess I have to find a way to re-install the previous version of the BIOS, but I have no idea how!
Any idea?!
Now about what I did to fix this (poor, but I tried):
If I try to start from a Win7 installation CD-ROM (actually it is one for Dell PCs, but I guess that is not the problem) and press a key to boot from CD, Windows loads files, shows "Starting Windows" and at a certain point again just freezes. When I -do not- press a key, WIndows Boot Manager shows up and mentions that "Windows failed to start (etc.)" "File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD" "An Error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data."
I can't even boot into Linux on a USB stick, because the Windows "Error Recovery" (translated from German, sorry - my guess) won't let me when I try (just offers to boot to Win7 in protected mode - it could be that it fails immediately and jumps back to Win Startup).
Thank you for every bit of help!

I found our the solution to my problem with the help of SebastianLenovo ...
In the BIOS / Boot Mode, I switched back from "UEFI" to "Legacy". That's it. That simple. The BIOS Upgrade routine just did not transfer that setting from the old BIOS to the new.
Given the fact that 1. I did not change that setting, so it is default and 2. it would have been easy to avoid, if the BIOS update routine would be well programmed to transfer the current BIOS settings to the new, upgraded BIOS ...
Anyway a strange situation that a 64-bit system has a 32-bit BIOS. Actually no Linux distribution (except FatDog and rescue systems) are able to deal with it - Linux only running as a Virtual Machine under Windows. I think this is inappropriate and really taking away a part of the fun if you can not run this laptop as a dual boot system.
Thanks to Sebastian and I hope this solution helps someone in the future...

H67MA-E45 Updated to latest BIOS now won't load BIOS?

Hi,
I ran the latest BIOS update 7678v32, all seemed to go fine and it said BIOS update completed will now restart. Now the LED and fan starts for 1-2 secs then goes off straight away, this repeats every 10secs or so.
I've tried clearing CMOS but still nothing. Any ideas
Cheers
Andy

ok it sounds like a bricked board to me. you could try to first do a full CMOS clear to make sure!
how to perform a full CMOS Clear:
1: remove power cord from PSU!
2: hold power Button on case for 30 seconds!
3: remove the CMOS Battery for 5-30mins!
4: now use the Clear Cmos Jumper to clear Data and then put it back in Keep Position
5: put the CMOS Battery Back in!
6: Reconnect Power
7: Power the PC Back on
if that doesn,t get the board working you have bricked the BIOS chip and it needs to be Re-programed and that will leave you with 2 options:
1: send the board in to MSI for them to Directly Flash the Chip to get it working!
2: Take the Board to a shop that has a SPI Flash Programmer to directly Flash the BIOS chip!

How to find the latest BIOS for my T60P?

Dear Experts,
I own a T60P 2007FBG which I like very much cause it still works like a charm. I'm interested in uploading the latest BIOS but, unfortunately, "my" model type isn't listed on Lenovo's website:
http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/12b4-c4-3c77.jpg
It would be very appreciated if somebody showed me the way to the latest and correct BIOS for my T60P.
Many thanks in advance

They all work for me. Entering 2007FBG leads me to the following;
My guess is that you need to clear your selection on the support site before trying the quick path or following my other link. By the way, the drivers on the linked to page will be relevant to your system, 2007 is the important relevant part in the MTM as far as drivers and BIOS are concerned.

Black Screen after flashing the latest BIOS

Nothing but Black screen (fan, leds work) after flashing the latest bios...
Is there anything I can do, or just new bios/motherboard can help? (I tried resting the battery, F8 key..) Thanks in advance

I presume BIOS is screwed up. What you need is professional help with this so contact nearest service provider and ask for help.
By the way: check this forum using advanced search option. In the past I saw several interesting threads about BIOS recovering. Im pretty sceptic about it but maybe you will be lucky and find solution.

I cannot download the latest BIOS

I have got a HP Envy 17-j020us, and I cannot download the latest bios sp69886.exe, for my windows 8.1 cause it goes to another pages.....
Where at could i get that bios and download it directly???
Thx in advance

Similarly, the same problem

Satellite A350 - error when installing latest Bios (64bit OS)

I can't figure out what is wrong: I'm trying to install the latest bios, bios-20090803144625 (64bit), on a Statellite 350 running Windows 7 RC. I get the following error from "Phoenig WinPhlash64": "Failed to receive system Bios information BCPSYS block signature was not found. Error code: -100"
I have also tried the 32bit installer without any luck.
I have tried to install in safe mode, but the installer will only run in "normal mode".
Any suggestions?

I believe you need to install the Value Added Package so the BIOS file can detect the hardware properly.
