BIOS update

‎01-21-2011 09:29 AM

Hi,

I have a Notebook HP G71-340US (Win 7 64 bit). Now I have intalled BIOS F.21A.

I would like to know which fix/enhancements I will have with BIOS F.23 (sp51527.exe).

And why  HP Support Assistant do not make that update automatically if it is programed to do that?

Regards.

There are no Fixes/Enhancements listed for the update on the driver page,so I would assume it is not needed unless you are having some problem that seems to require a BIOS update. HPSA may only recommend critical /important updates.

It looks that HP added some informations about this Bios update:

 

- Fixes an issue where moving or clicking a USB mouse that is attached to the notebook during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) prevents the system from booting.

- Fixes an intermittent issue that may result in an unexpected behavior, where the system stops responding (hangs) or a memory page fault is generated. This issue only occurs with 64-bit operating systems

HP Support Assistant is an automated delivery tool for updates from HP.  In some cases, the update cannot be delivered automatically through HP Support Assistant.   When this occurs, HP still provides the update on HP.com.   In most cases the update is corrected and provided in HP Support Assistant as a new update.
