8200 Elite CMT BIOS update

[Rheckr]

Hello community,

I've got HP Compaq 8200 Elite Convertible Minitower and i am curious if i can somehow update BIOS to the newest version.

Can someone help me to know if is there any newer version available for this motherboard?

All the informations i've got about motherboard:

Written on board - E93839 FXN1

System Information from BIOS:

Product Name - HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT PC

SKU Number - XY129ET#UUZ

System BIOS - J01 v02.15

Intel Core i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30GHz

Thanks!

Hi:

Since you are running W10 on there, you don't want to update the BIOS beyond v02.28 or you will have a long delay on restarts.

See this discussion...

Here is how to install v2.28 without being in Windows...

Hello, thank you for your fast reply. So v02.28 Rev.A is bios update for my motherboard right?

You're very welcome.

Yes, I have two 8200 Elite CMT's both running W10 Pro, v1809 and both on BIOS v.02.28.

Just don't flash the BIOS using the WIndows based flash because it was only written to be run in one of the supported operating systems.

Much thanks! Everything went fine.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Latest System BIOS firmware version should be J01 v02.32 by now (important update)

Also, I suggest your replace your 2x 4GB dimm memory stick for 2x 16GB ones instead. (make sure to pick ones that respect this machine's requirement tho)
