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 .....

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? .....

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.

Apple :: Updating NVIDIA Drivers In Boot Camp

Apr 2, 2009

I have a base UMP and I went through the basic steps of upgrading video drivers - uninstall, reboot, install new...

However, when I did this process, the install portion would barf. It would say something like "can't find hardware" or "not the right driver"... something along those lines.

Should I just install the latest from NVIDIA without uninstalling first?

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....

Dell :: M1330 Bios A15 + Latest Intel Drivers = Dead Video

Feb 10, 2009

Was having an issue on bios A12 (I think it was) with the brightness (function keys were not adjusting it properly), so updated the bios to A15 and the latest intel drivers as advised. (have intel, not nvidia).

Now the screen on boot is either blank or with only blue lines.

Can hear it booting into windows so the system on the whole seems fine.

Have got it working successfully on an external monitor via the vga port. I have tried to reapply the A15 bios and reinstall the intel drivers but not changed anything. The display properties in windows shows the laptop monitor as stuck on 640x480 and low colours. screen is off on 640x480 and if upped to the only other option 800x600 gives blue lines.

Dell Inspiron 7520 :: Why Does BIOS Version A11 Appear On Drivers Download Page

Oct 17, 2012

If you navigate to the drivers' download page for Inspiron 7520, you will notice under "BIOS" that there is a version A11 (released date: October 15, 2012) available for download.However, the small print says "Applies to: Dell Vostro 3560 system BIOS". Is it safe to flash my current BIOS version A04 to A11 for my Inspiron 7520? If not, why is that item listed in the first place?

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?
