BIOS Update Issue

[rafaeshahid_39]

I updated the BIOS for my Intel DH55HC motherboard and now it crashes after the the startup as a few applications open. I get the blue memory dump screen and it restarts. Then I tried it in safe mode and it worked fine in that. I was wondering what should be done and how? I'm running a Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit version.

Whats the BIOS version?

 

[nikorr]

Why did u update?

 

[nikorr]

Did u do any changes in the BIOS?

Could be a video driver, try to reinstall.

I just saw the newer version and updated it. TCIBX10H.86A.0048.EB.EXE was the file name at the Intel download centre and it was a 2011 version.

Examples when to flash the BIOS usually are:

1. New CPU was released
2. Memory compatibility issues + new RAM models are released
3. Remember when the new 2+TB HDD have been released? New BIOS was needed.
4. New hardware support added.
5. Or if u can benefit from changes in the change log.

BIOS updates are always risky for various reasons.
Especially when wrong BIOS is used.

I was wondering whether its my new LED display cuz suddenly i was getting full resolutions. The sounds system was also disabled. Should i roll back or try to find a solution on this current update?

Not* getting full resolutions

The BIOS file is relevant to my board just have these stability issues.

 

[nikorr]

Well, that's the thing, if u have no stability issues, u don't need to upgrade.

Did u do any changes in the BIOS?

Nope I didn't. Wouldn't know how to, to be honest. I'd like to know in case of a faulty bios upgrade what should one do? I heard about flashing the mobo?
