No Display After BIOS / Windows Or USB Controller Update

Oct 28, 2012

I recently bought a computer and it had an OS issue, so after some tinkering I was able to install XP onto it, then install 7. Everything went relatively smoothly. I had downloaded the drivers and updates from HP's website for my model computer. I went through and started installing them one by one. I came across the BIOS one and it said it couldn't install it. There was also a Windows update that wanted to install, but at the same time I had already moved to the next driver, a USB controller, and that one had completed it's installation and wanted to restart. I had stopped the Windows update and then prompted it to restart the computer.

It shut down and when it came back up, it brought up a black screen with some text, that then flashed blue for a split second, then turned off. I went to turn it back on, but there is no display now. I currently have a DVI-HDMI that is plugged into my laptop, but it says it can't recognize anything (though it had been doing fine before all of that). I do not have a Windows 7 disc. I had downloaded it from the internet and mounted it using Daemon Tools lite and all went smoothly, so I don't think that was the issue. I have a feeling that something went wrong. I've tried hitting F8, 9, 10, and 12 hoping that it would enter some mode and the display would reappear, but nothing. Do I need to burn Windows 7 to a disc and try it that way?

BIOS Update BSOD No Display On Boot

Oct 19, 2012

Earlier I was trying to fix a DCP latency issue and latencymon suggested I update my BIOS. I got the BIOS from Asrock directly. During the update I was given a BSoD and memory dump. The dump froze at 15 and I eventually turned off the computer. Upon rebooting I was unable to get a display.

So far I have reset the cmos, switched between gpu and integrated graphics, removed the gpu and other adaptors, let the computer stay off for 30min; all of which has not worked. When resting the cmos I used both the jumper switch, quick clear, and battery removal.

Dr. Debug shows no errors when starting the computer and it appears to continue cycling boots, despite the lack of error.

O.S - Windows 7 home premium x64
CPU - i5 3750k 4.2gz
Motherboard - Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
Gpu - MSI 550ti
SSD - Corsair Neutron Gtx 128gb
Ram - 2x 4gb 1600 9-9-9-24 patriots.

Samsung Bios Software Update For Bios / Update Fails

Dec 1, 2012

My Samsung series 3 laptop has been sending out popup messages telling me I need a bios update, I go to the Samsung software update site and this bios update has been failing, I have made several calls and chats to techs at Samsung who tell me to do what I have already done, they tell to ask for tier 2 tech, who can go in my computer and fix it , When I finally got a tier 2 tech, they told me the same thing, I told him what I had been told about him and what he could do, He said, is it working , I said yes, but settings on computer change on their own,like wifi turns itself on and that concerns me. Anyway, He said that it didn't need a bios update,even the Samsung website said this computer needed a bios update. I posted this on hardware,firmware concerns, and they told me to post here, I was going to go to a site ,that had a download that checked drivers,

Jan 10, 2013

I have Dell Inspiron N5110 i7 and with 8Gb RAM and I have replace DVD drive with SSD disk in caddy, and that this is working fine ( when formatting I can copy files), also I have selected AHCI for SATA controller in BIOS. After that my plan is to put Windows 7 on SSD disk. So I have make one USB flash with Windows 7 installation from iso file.

Then during installation when I got to point to select SSD disk as disk where OS will be installed I receive message: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." What I need to do, I have formatted SSD disn with HTFS, I have leave it blank, I have tried all possibilities.

HP BIOS Update Stuck At "Verifying New Bios Image 100%"

Jan 19, 2011

I have a five-month old HP Compaq Presario Laptop, which has been working fairly decently (I've had a few virus scares, and my Norton quarrentined something a twenty days ago). On HP's advice, I just updated the BIOS on my laptop. It's currently stuck at Verifying New Bios Image, and it's at 100% - It's been stuck that way for a half-hour plus.

Windows 7 Professional 64 OEM Will Not Reinstall After BIOS Update

Mar 26, 2012

I've recently built a new pc. - i7 3930 Sandy Bridge, P9X79 PRO motherboard, 32Gb RAM, 128Gb SSD. I installed Windows OEM and activated and I also updated the BIOS; and everything was fine until I decided to reinstall Windows because I had some troubles with some drivers and I thought a clean copy will fix that.

Here it comes the problem. I booted from the original DVD, the Windows files have been copied and expanded and then the system restarted in order to continue the process. The system restarted but instead of continuing the installation process I get an error message saying the following: "Windos will not start because kernel file is missing". It also tells me that some files in "system 32" are corrupt. At this point there is nothing I can do. I tried again a few times then I stopped.

I know that the OEM can be installed only on one motherboard, but could a BIOS updated be considered a hardware change? I read other posts and everybody was saying that even if you change the motherboard the user will still be able to install the system but he will be required to activate the copy via telephone. Well, I did not even get to the point to reinstall the system. Has anyone experienced a similar problem with a OEM version of Windows 7?

BIOS Update RAID Windows Reinstall?

Feb 10, 2012

Before I begin my overclocking project, I'd like to update my BIOS. I'm currently using an ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 with a BIOS of 0301. According to their website there is a new BIOS 0402. One of the two components of the update states "increased stability". So I'm thinking updating the BIOS would be groovy before I begin my overclocking project.After my week old build, I've done two things to the 0301 BIOS. I've used the ASUS OC for dummies button and overclocked it to "Fast" (not Extreme). I've also configured it to RAID.

1) Should I "un-overclock" to its original settings it before updating?

2) When I update it, will the update put the BIOS back to default settings, including the RAID setting reverting to AHCI?

If the answer to #2 is yes, then it will default to AHCI rather than RAID when the update is complete.....so is it just a matter of resetting it to RAID before attempting to boot Windows again? I ask this because of the pain I experienced when I had to reinstall Windows after going from AHCI to RAID the first time.

Windows 7 Ultimate Won't Boot After Bios Update

Oct 28, 2012

I have a desktop using a Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (revision 1) motherboard. Using the Gigabyte @Bios utility, I updated the Bios to F12. After rebooting as @Bios suggested, I can no longer get Windows to boot. I've noted the following:

1) I have issue accesing the Bios setup. Sometimes I can access it, sometimes I cannot;

2) When I am able to access the Bios, I can confirm the disk Boot Priority, however it's is now showing the drives as SCSI (I only have SATA drives);

3) There is a new setup screen displayed after the Gigabyte logo screen shows. This screen now shows 'Serial ATA AHCI, Version iSrc 1.20E.

Copyright (c) 2003-2008. Intel Corporation.
**This version supports only Hard Disk and CDROM drives. **
Please wait. This will take a few seconds.

Then shows Controller/Bus/Function/Port/Device and lists all harddrives. At the end of the drive list it shows 'AHCI Bios installed'

4. After step 3, it shows the prompt 'Loading Operating System' - the boot hangs at this point.I DID backup the existing Bios before updating it. I have not gone in and copied that file to a floppy to try and flash the Bios using the backup (don't know if this is possible).

After Successful BIOS Update, Windows Won't Start

Jan 14, 2013

I just flashed my bios before trying to OC my new RAM and, as said, now Windows 7 won't start. Bios update seems successful, I can access it and the new version is written.

I'm guessing clean install but looking for some idea before that.

i5 2500k on Gigabyte P67-UD3 if it's any help. The bios update was from F3 to F7.

HP Pavilion P6624y Windows 7 64bit BIOS Update?

Aug 14, 2012

I came across a term, BIOS, and was wondering what it was. After doing some research, I found out that I have a very old BIOS,American Megatrends Inc. 6.02 7/21/2010. I am intereted in playing video games after I updated my Power Supply and Graphics Card. The games I play are becoming slower than a few weeks ago. I was wondering if I should update my BIOS. I followed the guide from: Updating the BIOS When I tried searching for an update, I could not find a BIOS tab. I read somewhere that I should not attempt to update my BIOS if there is no such tab. I would really like to improve my computer, but I do not know how. I have also read that I should not find updates from the "motherboard manufacturer's Web site," incase something goes wrong. What should I do?

Windows Is Not Genuine Build 7601 After Bios Update

Nov 29, 2012

So I upgraded my asus p8z68-v lx bios recently to version 4003 and now my desktop is displaying the annoying messages. I also attached the other two HDDs to the SATA ports that were unplugged and might have moved some of the sata cables around in the process. I had this installed by a network admin and I'm pretty sure the windows 7 isn't a fake. It was all working fine until I decided to upgrade my bios and some drivers, then that showed up. Also I don't have a key for it.

Windows Explorer Does Not Update (display)

Jan 10, 2012

I have a problem with Windows Explorer, I searched for a valid solution besides reinstalling or creating a new user (profile), both solution that I find unacceptable but to no avail. Expected behavior from Windows Explorer. You copy a file into a folder, you want it to automatically get into order in whatever sorting order you choose. Current behavior of my Windows Explorer, when I copy a file into a folder or if I rename a file and want Explorer to update I have to hit F5 (Actualiser (in french)). Since my Windows in is french I have some difficulty to find the correct wording to conduct the search.

No Display Output During Windows 7 Update

Feb 19, 2013

I was installing a long list of Win7 updates on my PC when the display abruptly shut off during installation. I know there was an update for the Intel integrated graphics chip somewhere in that mess of updates. The PC has that integrated GPU plus a GTX660 (with fully updated drivers). I didn't want to restart the PC, but I am unsure of what to do next.

Flashing BIOS Firmware Update Has Lost Windows 7 Boot Record?

Nov 30, 2012

I wanted to install more RAM, but Supermicro support told me I needed to update BIOS (flash it) to enable it to accept higher RAM.After I did this, the BIOS seems to have lost the record that boots my Windows 7 installation. After going through the checks, it just comes up with "Operating System not found."So I thought that, since I have two SATA drives, I could try installing Windows on my redundant disk to see if that might generate a dual boot menu.I was able to successfully install a fresh copy of Windows on the 2nd disk, but it will only boot into that one. It seems my system has completely forgotten about my other, working, installation.Is there a process for recovering the boot information and setting it up such that I can go back to using my other installation?

BIOS Screen Doesn't Display When Booting Up?

Sep 16, 2012

The first one is the BIOS boot up screen that usually leads me to Windows. A few months ago, this vanished. I don't know if it was due to a version of Windows 7 i installed or something but whenever I turned on the PC, the screen would appear blank for a few minutes then go straight to the Windows welcome screen. I thought it was weird, but I didn't see a problem since it went to Windows so I disregarded it, which looking back is kind of dumb but I didn't want to risk doing something to the computer in the process.So a few weeks ago I was trying to partition the hard drive so I can install the Windows 8 preview on it, rebooted the computer and...nothing. It wouldn't take me to Windows to there's clearly a problem with the hard drive. I could always get a new one, but there's still the problem of the vanishing BIOS screen.
