Weird Bios won't update any more
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2018 6:52 pm
Ok I move to a new house. I own two IntensePc's. I updated Bios on both to IPC_2.2.400.3 X64 problem. Me would only update on the one but not the living room unit. They purchase at the same time but I've always thought the two were not identical in performance. Diff version of CPUs??
I was having issue with Wireless connections at the new place. Troubleshooting the issue I decided to revert the living room PC back to version IPC_2.2.400.2 X64. OK it reverted. Blew my Office licensing up in the process and wiped out my UEFI boot menu. But ok it reverted and fixed the created issues. Bios wasn't the cause of my wireless issues.
Now time to re-update back to IPC_2.2.400.3 X64. I created the usb key and booted to it. I ran BIOS-UPD.BAT. It runs. It says it going to reboot and apply the Capsule. The computer reboots. Delays for a time at the Logo screen (F2) screen. Then boots into UEFI and my REFIND v11.2 boot manager. I go into BIOS but it tells me the version is IPC_2.2.400.2 X64. It doesn't see to want to upgrade here. PC works fine but no upgrade.
I type the batch command manually. Same result.
I added the v switch for verify and coughs up an ESVA out of space error if you add the v switch to the command.
I Cold booted the machine. Still no update.
Bios Engineer: Any ideas what I should do here. Should not the Setup tell me that BIOS is IPC_2.2.400.3 X64 if the upgrade took place?
I ask why does it need to reboot to apply the capsule in the first place. Its in FreeDos. I don't see a typical progess indicator showing a flash in progress.
