Dell :: Updating BIOS And Drivers

Jan 28, 2010

My new studio 15 (1555) arrived today and the instructions advised to update the computer with the latest Bios and drivers.

I followed the instructions and all was going well (I could see various things being downloaded) until my son clicked on a window that had popped up (believe it was from McAfee) and the computer switched off.


I went back to the Dell support to ascertain if everything had been downloaded properly and attempted to download the files again unfortunately I kept getting a message that no files have been selected .....

Oct 27, 2009

I have a problem with my Dell E1705. I would like to upgrade my BIOS but unfortunately i cant.

What you suggest to do? I try with different version on BIOS because i thought maybe it's impossible to upgrade from A02 to A09 but I have the same results

I even tried to downgrade to A01 the same I try to update to A02 which I already got. I had no positive results at all

Dell :: Novice Updating 1525 Drivers, Bios Etc

Jan 6, 2010

Thing is I don't think that the previous owners updated anything... ever... lol and I was wondering if, for instance bios updates are like Windows service pack updates in that they are cumulative?

I went to the Dell download site and it had 17 driver updates for this service tag. The original bios version for this machine was v.09, I did the update and it's is now v.17 - but the question is, should I have done a bunch in between somehow?

On their website Dell says the v17 bios update just changes the pre-charge timeout from 2 to 6 hours (whatever that means lol) and what I'd like to know is have I missed better - as in more useful - bios features by not doing all the bios updates that must have come between my original v.09 and the current v.17? .....

Acer Aspire V3-371 :: Slow Down After Updating BIOS

Nov 7, 2014

My Acer V3-371 that I bought 5 days ago is slow after updating  BIOS from v1.05 (when I bought) to v1.08 and v1.11.
 
I have checked hardwares and see that:
- CPU: OK
- RAM: OK
- Wifi, Ethernet, Bluetooth: OK
- HDD: NOT OK (see the attached picture) This situation usually occurs to halt the system for a while repeatedly.

(Both of OS Win 7/8/8.1/10 Preview and MS Office software are installed from the iso files downloaded from Microsoft websites)
 
I carried it to Acer Service Center, but they could not find out any problem with HDD and missed to check the compatibility of BIOS with HDD.

HP Pavilion Dv7-1110eo Lockups :: Boot Up Error After Updating BIOS

Feb 3, 2015

I updated BIOS (it's now Hewlett-Packard F.49) with a download from HP's website. I wish I hadn't done that because it made my laptop ill. When booting up it freezes and the only thing I see is the black screen with HP logo. No button works.
 
Later I've found out that BIOS itself ain't the problem (I tried to recover the old version for long without any success), it's the USB devices attached or the USB ports, dunno. My laptop boots normally and works perfectly if I take off all the USB plug-ins before I press the power button. After the black screen has passed I can plug in the USBs and they work too.URL....

Lenovo Yoga 13 Flex :: BIOS Broken After Updating Intel HD Drivers

Oct 24, 2014

Using windows 8.1 i've uptaded my intel hd 4000 drivers,  restarted and lauched a 3d game. After few seconds I tried alt+tab and then everything got stalled and eventually with lots of artifacts on screen I've got a message about a system crash and that system now is dumpin information to a file and next it will restart. In that moment I've panicked and hard reseted (so memory dump hadn't finished).

So now when I try to boot - for a quite some time there is a black screen and then a list of boot options pops up:

Normal Startup ,   bios setup , boot menu ....   but the keyboard is not working at all.

So after connecting a usb keyboard I entered boot options and there iv noticed something strange:

Link to image

EC version is messed up.

Keyboard is not working at all and some other things.

On top of that when I'm choosing normal startup the windows "wheel" is turning but its newer getting to boot.

Dell :: Updating My Beloved XPS

Apr 12, 2009

I'm a bit embarassed to bring this post to the forum as looking down the list nobody's posting about these lappies these days!

Basically, my hard drive's full of stuff I don't want to delete (or move to external), my dvd writer needs a paperweight to keep it closed up and the keyboard is like it has glue under the keys!

So, I can't afford to replace it at the moment and I still love the screen and the occasional Doom3 etc (sad I know). I've done some research here - but would appreciate some guidance on which bits to buy.

The drive - I know it's got to be PATA(?) but which drive should I aim for if any? Also, will all the PATA 2.5" drives fit, do I take the bits off the existing one to put on the new? Is there a limitation on the amount of hard drive memory the system will recognise?

Apple :: Updating The MBP's With I5/i7

Oct 26, 2009

Quote:

fter examining the configuration files included in the latest build of OS X, a new report has discovered references to two new MacBook Pro models.

The 10C531 build of the 10.6.2 update contained the configuration files in question, according to Spanish-language site Applesana.es. The models referenced are the MacBook Pro 6.1 and the MacBook Pro 6.1b. The current crop of MacBook Pros have a 5.(x) designation, spanning 5.1 through 5.5.

The MacBook Pro line was not updated during the latest Apple refresh, when Apple introduced Intel's Core i5 and i7 processors to the newly redesigned iMac line.

The Intel Core i7 mobile processors, formerly code named Clarksfield, reportedly offer better performance with multi-threaded applications and can increase the processor clock speed up to 75 percent to match workloads..............

Sony :: Updating Nvidia Disaster On FZ

Aug 26, 2009

Found new GPU driver on Sony support site, followed the instructions , wish it was in English not Engrish, the instructions were somehow inconsistent,l proceeded with it anyway, system restarted.

The result is blank, black display and I have no clue how to proceed. I supposed after uninstalling the driver, Windows will restart with default driver then I could install the new Nvidia.

I hoped using the Recovery disc can help restart, but it only repairs defective boot nothing else/ there is 0 error there.

HP/Compaq :: DV2 - Temps A Little High After Updating

Jul 22, 2009

Alright, so to start off I'll just say that I love the DV2. I bought the dual core version loaded when it first went up for customization at the HP site. I have, however, noticed that it can run a tad hot.

When I first got it, without a cooler, the CPUs usually went from between 41c-45c from light usage, and the GPU from between 51c-55c. Even when propping the back up I only saw a drop of 1c total. I bought a small cooler for it and saw a fairly good drop. The temps of the CPU where down to 36c-39c and the gpu was down to 45c-49c with both sometimes even going lower depending on how much the AC in the house was on.

I did try some gaming on this, playing some HL2. The CPU got to 60c at the highest and the GPU also only got to about 60c while on the cooling pad.

So, a few days ago I updated my BIOS to the latest on for the DV2 from the HP site. I noticed right away that my temps where higher. The temps while on my cooler where the same as they used to be without it, and with the cooler off the GPU was getting up to 60c while at idle. I tried a few things, like setting the GPU to low power mode with the Catalyst controls, but that didn't help.

Not sure what to do I noticed this morning that I hadn't gotten SP2 for Vista yet. So I decided to get it in hopes that it would help.. now my DV2 is even hotter. On the cooling pad my CPU was at around 60c and GPU was at 65c while at idle. I've had it on all day, with all the vents in my room open and the AC up high and the lowest it's gotten is to 50c for the CPU and 55 for the GPU.

HP/Compaq :: Updating Warranty Start Date

Sep 25, 2009

So I bought a sealed box 8530w off eBay. Now I know from previous HP business models that the warranty start date on the online lookup tool starts from the day the laptop was manufactured. This hasn't ever been an issue in the past, since I got previous laptops second hand anyway.

But this one is already nearly 6 months into its 3 year warranty. I guess it has been sitting around sealed in its box for a while.

So...

1. Is there any way I can get HP to update the warranty start date? (I'm getting an invoice from the seller as we speak)

2. Assuming I can, will that new warranty start date be reflected in the online lookup?

3. Will the new warranty start date be transferable if I sell the laptop, or will it only apply to me, with my name on the invoice?
