Will BIOS update help wtih sound problem?

I have a problem getting sound working with linux on a 3000 (an N200 0769 in my case) that many other people have reported: sound only works with ACPI off.
I asked for help on the Mandriva forums and was told to check if there are any relevant BIOS updates. the readme for the latest BIOS does not list any changes to do with either sound or ACPI so it appears unlikely.
However, my BIOS reports itself (during bootup) as 2.03, and it appears to be 68ET31WW. This does not appear in the summary of changes in the readme which jumps from 1.02 to 2.02!
Does anyone know what has changed between 2.03/68ET31WW and the latest (3.03/68ET35WW)?

It hasn't helped my CMX 3200C2.. same issues as you describe.. no joy at anything other than slow...

P4N Diamond SATA Problem after Bios Update HELP!

I updated the bios correctly & now my SATA harddrive won't recognize.I put the drive in another pc (with the exact same setup..a p4n diamond etc) and it works no problem.The bios settings are set exactly as they were before the flash as i wrote them down!.
I have noticed there is an extra setting added in the bios ,something in the cell menu named CPU ratio unlock.
I have also noticed that my other pc (the working one) will no longer connect to the net if my network cable is plugged in my router from the pc with the bios update.As soon as i unplug the cable it connects.
I got the latest bios for the board is there something different in the bios from previously i need to do?
Like i says the bios settings i have put exactly the same as they were before the update.My windows (on the SATA drive) booted fine before the update and now it won't.
I updated the bios correctly and cleared cmos afterwards.Everything i should have done i am guessing i done.
Can somebody please help me on this.
Thanks
Decided to reflash the bios to version 1.4
Now the harddrive is recognised but windows will not boot (blue screen before it boots with the usual to prevent damage to your computer etc etc)
I am now formatting the harddrive & reinstalling windows.It seems MSI have issues with bios updates for this board which they should maybe bring out a new bios fixing this problem as it sure is a problem.

RE flashing the bios.I did this to try and fix a problem with windows not turning off when shutting down.I pc does the other does not & both have the same board and now the same version bios & also a freshly installed windows.I noticed power options in windows are not the same.How can this be.The boards are the same.
Anyway here are the specs of pc1 & pc2:-
pc1 (the working fine pc):-
P4N diamond bios ver 1.40
P4 SKT 775 Prescott 3.6ghz
2gb kingston ddr2 (dual channel)
1x 200gb maxtor IDE hd
2x 160gb maxtor SATA hd
Ati Radeon x600 gfx
pc2
P4N diamond bios ver 1.40
P4 SKT 775 Prescott 3.4ghz
512mb crucial ddr2 (1 stick single channel)
1x SATA2 16mb cache hd
nvidia quadro gfx
As you can see,not much difference between the 2.

Will BIOS update solve "suspend" problem?

I have a 2014 X1 Carbon that I love. Best laptop I've ever owned. Except for one thing: "suspend" doesn't work. I have Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit installed. I've done some internet research and it seems that a BIOS update to version 1.13 might solve the problem with suspend. However, the instructions in the readme are all for Windows. See http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gruj08uc.txt. How can I check what version of the BIOS I am running using Linux? Has anyone else run this update and 1) solved the suspend problem, or 2) encountered problems that bricked the laptop or somehow made things worse?

Bios updat help for msi x99s mpower board

Does anyone know the link for the msi x99s mpower motherboard bios updates ? i have the msi x99s mpower black and yellow motherboard i'm looking for the bios update link. because when i try to play game like csgo and h1z1 my game lags real bad and i know it is not the internet because i have tried 3 other pc on same line they all work fine and i even had my graphics card and hdd tested they all are fine so i am hoping it might be a bios issue

First I don't think you or anyone should put up with having only 3 channel memory when they paid for 4. If the board or CPU are faulty they should be replaced.
You can start with MemTest86 or MemTest86+. MemTest86 has multi CPU test option that is more real life like, I don't know about MemTest86+, haven't used it for quite long time.
Before using Prime95, make sure you have CPU/Core temperature monitoring software such as RealTemp, Core Temp, HWiNFO, or CPUID HWMonitor.
Prime95, I assume th 64-bit version, but this create a lot of heat, what cooler do you have?
You can choose to run 6 threads instead of 12, it should be stressfull enough, also you can add the line Code: [Select]
CpuSupportsFMA3=0 to local.txt to disable FMA3 instructions that are more stressful on the CPU but not necessarily on memory.
If it is still too hot (>70c) add Code: [Select]
CpuSupportsAVX=0Do not close the window to stop the test, select exit from the file menu.
Or you can try OCCT which is all-in-one, stress + monitoring in one program. Select Large Data Set to stress memory. It also runs somewhat cooler than Prime95.
trust me i agree i talked to msi support and got no help they just kept telling me they know about the issuse and should have a fix for it soon, But yet i have seen many people say they have the same problem over 5 months now....... So i just talked to amazon and they said no problem they will give me a refund so now i need to find a good board to work with my i7 5820k 2011-3 pcu

Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.

Portege A100 PPA10A - Will BIOS update allow to boot from a USB device

Hi,
I have an Old Portege A100, Model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find that model on any Toshiba website, closest I've seen is the " PPA10A-0002L".
I'm wanting to see if there's a BIOS update that will allow me to Boot from a USB Device.
The issue I am having is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cant read discs.
It does Network Booting PXE, but i'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutly no idea what to do there.
Any help would be great,
Thanks

Hi
Portege A100 seems to be developed only for Australian market.
As you said there is a Portege A100 PPA10A-0002L model number listed on the Toshiba Australian page but the Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A.
So in my opinion the BIOS should work too.
Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add any further booting options.
Usually the BIOS support the booting from CD/DVD drive, HDD, LAN and USB FDD.
It should be possible to boot from a bootable diskette using an USB FDD drive.
I doubt you would be able to boot from USB ODD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

Hi
You could try uninstalling your anti virus software if you have a copy of it on cd rom
then try your update this will prove if it is the anti virus software causing your problem.

NEW BIOS UPDATE - Fixed buzzing sound from GPU?

It says it fixed the buzzing sound near speaker and battery when on battery power. Could this be the issue that people with the Intel Proccesor have when on battery power it makes a noise?

Hello,
I don´t exactly know, if the bios update disable C4 states, to prevent buzzing.
But if so, you´ll probably loose battery life, cause the cpu would´t get into lower power states.
May be the fan (link in german) will be running more often, to keep the Nvidia chip cooler, also.
I think if your TP suffers from whine, then give it a try or wait, till someone could tell us here
about his experience.

Driver Scanner will not update, there is a problem with proxy sttings and the firewall

Driver Scanner will not update. It says there is a problem in connecting to the Uniblue browser.
Also there is a problem with the proxy set up and the firewall.

With that one, let's try getting an installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

T43 - BIOS Update Help

Hello,
First time poster and I did the "search" funciton to find an answer but to no avail. I have exhausted all the things online that I can dig up and would appreciate some guidance.
I need to admit first and foremost, I am not as techy as I'd like to be. I just decided today to update some stuff to my Thinkpad T43 (LONG overdue...and I do mean long). I am still running on the BIOS version 1.01. Naive me thought that my laptop would update itself without me having to do anything.
So today, I updated my ThinkVantage to version 3.14 and was successful doing so. I then did a "system update" to get all the necessary and critical updates for my T43. When I tried to update to BIOS version 1.29, I followed all the necessary steps (listed on the Lenovo Support section). At a certain point (each time), I would get a BIOS Update Error Message "The system power management is disabled. The Process has been canceled."
I have no clue what this means. I went to my power management (in the Control Panel) and can't seem to find how I can "enable" it.
I could sure use some advise and steps in order to correct this issue and update my BIOS version.
Thank you,
nova_grrl

Hello I am also getting this error: "The system power management is disabled. The process has been canceled."
My set up: ThinkPad T41 2378 DLU, running XP home. Current Embedded Controller version 3.01. Current Bios 3.19.
I am actually attempting to do a double update: Bios and Embedded Controller.
Lenovo's support pages are contradictory on which to update first (The Embedded Controller READ ME page states: "If you need to update the BIOS as well as the Embedded Controller Program, update Embedded Controller Program first." http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1rhj10ud.txt ; while the Bios Update READ ME page states the opposite: "If you need to update Embedded Controller Program as well as the BIOS, update BIOS first." http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1ruj37us.txt)
I have chosen to update the Embedded Controller first because of what I have read on the Bios Update READ ME page: "This BIOS version will only work with Embedded Controller Program Version 3.04 (or higher)", while the Embedded Controller page reads: "This version of Embedded Controller Program will only work with BIOS Version 3.13 (or higher)". I have the later not the former.
The embedded controller download page does not have a non diskette version, see http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS000738#. As you know, my laptop does not have a floppy diskette drive. In order to extract the 1rhj10ud.exe file I used the Virtual Floppy Drive (VFD) console. At the prompt I give the "start" command, followed by the "open" command to create a virtual floppy drive. All is good to here.
I run the 1rhj10ud.exe file by double clicking in my file browser. I am prompted to "Press ENTER to continue (read License agreement)". I go through the pages and finally type Y to agree to the terms. This takes me to a screen that states : "Insert a blank high-density diskette in drive a:. Press ENTER to extract,..." I press enter and get the following message: "100 percent Extraction Complete Press Y to do another copy" I press enter and the 3 1/2 Floppy appears in my file browser as (A drive. Inside A: I double click on the UPDTFLSH file which opens another dos window. I enter my "Supervisor Password". Then say "Yes" to the warning that I am about to update my Controller, and "Enter" after the next warning stating that the AC adaptor must be connected.
At this point I get an error message: "The system power managment is disabled. The process has been canceled."
I went back and rebooted. Went into the Bios Power controls and Disabled both the "Hybernate by Timer" and the "Timer wake with Batterh Operation" functions. And followed the above steps only to get the same error. In XP /Control Panel/Power Options Properties, I put the "Turn off monitor" and "Turn off disks" to "Never". Still the same error!
I do not know what to do now to carry on with this update. Thank you for any suggestions.

HP DV4-1114NR bricked by HP's own bios update help plz and thank you

Hello friends, I have a HP dv4-1114nr, I downloaded the Bios update from hp and guess what? it bricked the laptop. I have read several forums on how to fix this, i have gotten as far as attempting to restore the bios, renaming the bios and putting it on a flash drive... The windows+ B key is definitely the way to launch recovery, with my bios i am not sure what to rename the file and also is it a requirement that it be on a small usb drive and that it be FAT format only? any help would be greatly appriciated. I have been working on it for weeks now... Thank you and god bless..

If the HP_TOOLS partition is still on the hard drive, it may contain a copy of the original bios that was replaced by the newer one.
To recover the bios from the HP_TOOLS partition hold Win+B down while you power up, continue holding Win+B until you hear some beep(s) then let up, it may take some time to recovery and may show no signs of activity or mesaages.
If Win +B does not work try all 4 arrow keys.
Usually the bios file name must match the motherboard model number.

CS4 crashing problems - will the update help

hi
I upgraded to CS4 early this year, but have long since given up on it, since every time I use CS4, either on my (Toshiba Qosmio) laptop or on my (Dell 690) Desktop PC, it crashes with ridiculous regularity (I think around 20 mins is I think the longest continuous period of work without a crash). I wrote off thousands of pounds in lost editing time with my first CS4 project because of the constant crashes. I continue, however, to use CS3 quite happily.
Premiere is the worst offender but AEX and Encore also crash a lot.
It seems that I am worse affected than most but as it happens for different reasons every time, and on two completely different PCs, both of which run CS3 quite happily, I had pretty much given up hope of ever being able to use CS4.
But what about these latest updates? Might they help?
And another thought - would CS4 run smoother on my PCs if CS3 were removed? Obviously I am not prepared to risk that at the moment but if there is precedent for that problem I could try it on my laptop.
thks

CS3 and CS4 can happily coexist on the same machine. Problems only arise when CS3 is removed. That requires a new installation of CS4.
However, the constant crashing with CS4 is abnormal. The fact that it happens on two completely different machines seems to indicate that it is not hardware, but software on both machines that causes these crashes. If you want to figure is out, the first step is to supply all data as requested in the link here and all included links: Some suggestions
Be sure to answer all questions at the end of the Wiki article and to attach the screenshots and files requested in the second link.

600x bios update help needed

i have a 600x, well its my daughters, but having a problem with the sound from speakers, i would like to try updating the bios, but all the updates i can find are for floppies, this machine doesnt have a floppy drive, so is there any other way to update the bios.

First things first. Most likely a newer version of the BIOS will not address the problem you think you have. So, it seems there is another reason for the problem. In checking the specs for that model, it shows there to be a 300w power supply. That will limit the choices for a video card upgrade. What is/was the new card that you tried?
Next, I see that you have an Intel i7 processor. In many posts from users trying to the change the video cards on these type systems, it is a real problem. For whatever reason, ( I have not seen a resolution as to why ) trying to change the video cards and getting a performance improvement is troublesome, to say the least. The delicate balance between the video card and the processor on these is easily thrown off, I do not know the reason or the solution. Most users give up and leave it as is.
I know, not a help. I too, will track this discussion to see if there is a resolution so I can help someone else down the road. Good luck!!!

So i bought a new graphics card, tried installing it and it wont work, and when asking around i have been told that what i need to do is update my BIOS. However, there are no updates available under the product page for my desktop, the p6-2141eo.

The current BIOS is ami 7.16
Would appreciate any help i can get!
