H-RS880-UATX Motherboard BIOS Update

[Laxon]

Hello, I am trying to update the bios for this board (H-RS880-UATX) in my HP Pavillion.

I am running windows 8.1 (likely an issue)

My Current BIOS version is 5.03 (possibly 2009)

I found version 6.11 from 2012 on the hp website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk&lc=en&softwareitem=cp-106532-1

I also found version 6.09 from 2013 (odd?) also on the hp website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-88054-2

Unfortunately nither of these would run on my machine. "Incorrect BIOS for your system (253)" which makes little to no sense.

Three questions:
A: What is the latest driver?
B: How do I use this website to find a list of ALL drivers for a specific piece of hardware?
C: Why can't I install a driver for a verified product?

Thank you.

You have to use the Model or Product number of your machine to find correct driver/software page because there may be several revisions of a motherboard used in different models-different BIOS required.

http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824

 Once you have the info, use the button at top of this page titled "Support", then click "Download drivers" from the menu. Enter your Product Number. After entering PN click 'Go". On the next page use the dropdown menu to select your Operating System, click Next. A list will populate with drivers/software.

Note-you may not  find drivers/software for Windows 8 if the machine came originally with Windows 7-but you can try. (Many times Win 7 drivers/BIOS will work in Win 😎

Hi Cheryl,

This is the exact product I have: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883147048

I can't find that model number on the HP website. 😞

Thanks.

Support page is here. No BIOS update.
