HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi guys, I hope all is well 🙂 

 

Firstly sorry to be a pain and take up your time. I'm looking to update the BIOS, I've picked up an old 8200 Elite SFF. The version it is running is really old from what I can gather; v02.15. Upon looking through the forums I can see that the most recent responses and answers lead to; v02.28. Also I understand that .29 version has problems with the restart hanging etc. What I am looking to find out is if there are any users that have v2.32?? If so, how does that hold up? 

 

Am I best flashing the BIOS to .28? 

 

Thank you for your time 🙂

You're very welcome.

 

If your PC is not having any issues with v2.15 there is no real need to update it.

 

But you would be absolutely safe going to v2.28.

 

I always advise folks to read the release notes for all of the BIOS updates and then decide if any of the fixes or enhancements are worth the risk of updating the BIOS.

 

You can read all of the release info under the BIOS Revision History section at the link below.

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-compaq-8200-elite-small-form-factor-pc...

 

As for upgrading the processor...the max is the i7-2600, no S, no K and no 3rd gen core processors.

 

3rd gen processors are not supported in the Q65 or Q67 chipsets.

Other information, if your computer works correctly, you can continue to use the original BIOS, because if the update failed you will brick your motherboard..

Thank you for your response. 

 

Just a quick search on the forums gave me the answers to your questions, the link can be found here; https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup/8200-Elite-CMT-BIOS-update/m-p/7025445#M56181 

 

I understand that it would brick the motherboard, but the version I have isn't anywhere near what is capable. 

 

Cheers.

Thanks again Fanordi. 

 

I honestly mean no offence by saying this, by confirming to you the motherboard, would you be able to answer the questions asked in my original post? 

 

I honestly don't want to waste your time if you don't. 

 

The information is; 

 

HP Compaq Elite 8200 SFF 

SKU: XL510AV

 

Cheers. 

HP Recommended

It is not the same SKU the other subject so you can't use the same BIOS. 

 

Personnally I think the BIOS available for this PC is this, but I want to ask a friend mans to be sure. 

 

@Mans do you know how you can verify if the BIOS upgrade is for the same motherboard SKU?? 
Sais tu comment vérifier que le BIOS soit bien pour la bonne carte mère (même SKU)??

@Ryando93 

Hello and thanks @Fanordi,

Please download and install the BIOS version below. And then try to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version.

ROM Firmware for 8200 Elite and 6200 Pro Business PCs (J01)

00.02.33 Rev.A12.3 MBMay 1, 2019Download

 

Otherwise, please give us the SSID ROM family in the following way in order to provide you with the right BIOS:

  1. On the keyboard, simultaneously press the Windows logo key and R. The Run window opens.
  2. Type msinfo32 and press Enter. The System Information window opens.
  3. In front of BaseBoard Product we get the correct SSID of the system board.

  4. Please give us this information in your next answer.

Do not hesitate to contact us in case of need.

Best regards,:Wink:

Hi, @Ryando93 

 

I have two 8200 Elite CMT's running with BIOS v2.28 and as far as I am aware, none of the newer BIOS updates eliminate the 2+ minute delay in restart on a warm boot.

 

The only way that I know of to get around the problem is to clean install W10 in UEFI mode, which means formatting the drive in GPT, and installing in EFI.

 

Or, if you don't use Bitlocker, you can hide the TPM security device in the BIOS' security setting.

 

I'm not going to jump through those hoops to run a newer BIOS.

 

I also strongly advise you that if you want to update the BIOS regardless of what version, to use the F10 Setup BIOS flash method, since the Windows based BIOS flash method was not written to be run on W10.

 

If you need help with that, please let me know.
