When starting PC in bios post I get message that my kingston SSD is S.M.A.R.T. failure and when I go to bios and do all 3 tests in smart option for that disc it sais that it is OK. My bios is 5.13 from 2010. and I have recently bought that SSD to speed up my PC. BIOS has no option to turn off that smart check. What can I do to not receive that message again?

I have found some newer BIOS (6.10) that shpuld be for my board but it sais that it is not compatible... The MB is 

H-I41-uATX (Eton)

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

 

Google-search for "download free SPECCY".

Download, install, and run SPECCY.

Expand the "Storage" branch.

Expand the "SMART" branch.

What are the values displayed for each measuring-point that SMART is monitoring?

Note that SPECCY allows you to save its report as a '.txt' file.

Select the SMART section from that file, and upload it here.

Is there a way to disable this check up in BIOS?

>  Is there a way to disable this check up in BIOS? 

Maybe.


The SMART report shows that the SSD is capable of "SATA-3" mode, but the motherboard is limiting it to "SATA-2" mode.  This is to be expected with an "older" motherboard.

The screen-capture shows a BIOS dating from 2009.
That's a time when "SATA-3" was not wide-spread.

Have you looked for an updated BIOS ?

The message is "SMART command failed". That's not the usual error-message.
I interpret that message as the BIOS is issuing a query to SMART that the SSD does not allow/support.
Again, maybe a BIOS update is necessary, to issue only those queries to SMART that the SSD allows ???

Bios is actually from 2010. It is v5.13. I have found on various web sites (including Foxconn) version 6.10 but it cannot be installed (says its wrong version or smthng like that) although it is for that MB. If you can help me with updating bios it would be great. I have also installed kingston ssd tool to see if there is newer firmware for SSD but there isn't.

And there isn't an option to enable/disable smart checkup in bios. Even when I enter advanced bios (ctrl+F10). Maybe there is even more advanced bios that could do this?

> Bios is actually from 2010. It is v5.13

 

From the posted image: BIOS Revision: 5.09 xxxx BIOS Date: 11/27/2009

 

What is the model-number of your HP computer?

 

Access:  http://support.HP.com

and enter your model-number, to find the web-pages specific to your model.

On the "device-drivers" page, select your version of Windows (probably Vista or 7), and click "Change".

Expand the 'BIOS' section, if it exists, to look for an updated BIOS.

No, that was the only version on HP support site and I have flashed it (as you can see). There is no other BIOS on HP... The version 6.10 that I have mentioned earlier is from some other site and it's supposed to be for Foxconn H-I41-uATX (Eton) motherboard, but I cannot update my MB with that exe file...
