Hello, Im Thomas a new to the forum.  Why is it when i connect my (Z220 SFF PC) to my receiver from the display port and play a movie all is well but If I leave and go to another device and come back,  th sound is gone and the picture may be gone or just not responsive.   I have 3 other devices connected thru the receiver HDMI to HDMI and i can leave each device and come back to it and its working perfectly.....   For some reason the displayport to hdmi will not hold the handshake.... Also, if the PC goes into sleep mode and i try to connect it, it just will not connect..   I have to restart the PC to start all over again...  Do I need a low profile HDMI video card so it can stay connected like all my other devices....  Frustrated here..  Was wanting to get my Plex started..   Thanks for any help PLEASE


Z400 RAM config . .

Boots take 10+ minutes

Basically, whenever the workstation needs to be restarted, the monitors will blink in power saving mode for 10+ minutes and then suddenly, there's the splash screen and we're up and running without any sort of issues.

 

I've tried various monitors and cables, ran complete hardware diagnostics, reset bios back to default. updated all drivers and bios, reviewed and applied the appropriate solutions to any and all event log error ids. Not sure where to go from here.

HP Z1 BIOS upgrde will not install

Hi Guys

 

My Z1 has BIOS J52v2.71 installed on 19-11-2014.

 

Today I tried to upgrade it to the current BIOS  2.75RevA; download seemed OK but when I tried to install exe file sp84164 it aborted and I got an error message - Windows cannot find ‘iexplore’.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. 

 

Obviously I had not typed anything.  I use Firefox as my browser, not Internet Explorer.

 

What should I do now?

 

 

Cheers

I have a HP Z800 with dual processors and 12 gig ram as issued directly from HP. It has 12x 1mb RAM modules and suddenly I lost 6mb.

I have removed and reseated all ram modules. I also removed both prosessors and replaced with new heatsink paste but no change.

I tested all RAM modules by swapping them around with no change.

Everything is pointing to dead slots on the MB those across Processor 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF Update Intel ME Firmware

Hallo,

 

 

I have issues with my EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF. Sometimes it doenst wake up from standby and / or doesnt boot corretly. 

I read here: ( https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c05306753 ) that using the latest Bios and an older ME FW can cause these kind of problems. Also, I like to have a newer ME FW for security reasons.

 

So, I am running BIOS 02.28 Rev.A and WIn 10 1709. 

 

MEbx Version: 11.0.0.0005

ME Driver Version 11.7.0.1045 

 

 

At https://support.hp.com/de-de/drivers/selfservice/hp-elitedesk-800-g2-small-form-factor-pc/7633277 there are two files that are supposed to contain ME FW Updates: 

 

sp82476: Intel Corporate Management Engine (ME) Firmware Component 11.8.50.3425 Rev.A

Which contains the newest ME FW and is supposed to work unter x64 OS.

But I get this:

 

C:\SWSetup\SP82476\FW64>FWUpdLcl64.exe -f C:\SWSetup\SP82476\ME\ME_11.8_Corporate_D0_H_Production.bin

Intel (R) Firmware Update Utility Version: 11.8.50.3425
Copyright (C) 2007 - 2017, Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Communication Mode: MEI
Checking firmware parameters...

Error 561: Get Platform Type failed.

Error 32: Unknown error code.

 

and there is:

 

sp80282: Intel Management Engine (ME) Firmware Update Tool for DOS or EFI 1.0.0.0 Rev.A

Which is much older and is suppoed to work only under efi shell.

I tried this one too:

BLK1:\efi\> FWUpdLcI.efi -f 110223001_h.bin

Communication Mode: MEI
Checking firmware pameters...

Error 8714: Firmware update not initiated due to file open or read failure

 

Is there a step by step guide on hor to install the correct and ne Intel ME FW on my computer?

I have looked at the HP site and tried to install the thundebolt driver/software but it wont install. It stops during installation and states only compatible with windows 7 or 8.

Can someone please save me some time and assist with where i might find a driver that will work ? maybee the z840 win 10 thunderbolt driver 15.2.35.250 Rev.B

 

Is there a way to somehow install the HP thundebolt driver a workaround maybee?

 

Any assistance is appreciated

Windows 10 IOT not activated after System-Recovery

from time to time, we had to reset / update some of our thinclients ( mt20 / mt21 ) to the current version of windows 10 IoT. After downloading and applying to USB-Stick true HP Thinupdate, the restore from stick runs without errors. but windows is no longer activated and the activation fails with the following error:

 

We can't activate Windows on this device because the product key was already used on another device. if you think it wasn't used on another device, select troubleshoot below. error code: 0xC004C008

 

 

how can we re-activate our thinclients after systemrestore ? The thinclients are never connected to the corporate network, they operate outside the company and getting access true webportal over internet.

 

Thanks for any tipps and tricks

Why Were z840 BIOS Revisions 2.39 and 2.40 Removed From Downloads?

$

A troubleshome Windows 10 update at the end of January forced me to rebuild the SYS partition from scratch.  In the process of trying to avoid having to do that, I had updated all the drivers and the BIOS from the "Software and Drivers" page for z840, Windows 10.  One of the downloads was SP84968 which contained the flashing utilities to bring the BIOS to rev 2.40.  (I was running 2.38 at the time, and getting "Trusted Platform" errors in event log with MS advice to contact the hardware vendor for a BIOS upgrade to eliminate the security vulnerability.)

 

I am now running version 2.40, have rebuilt the SYS partition and went to check to make sure no further updates since that one (which I got and installed on 02/14/2018) had not been posted.  Lo and behold, that SP - BIOS 2.40  update - had been removed from the downloads area, and so had v 2.39, both of which had, according to the release history in SP84968, were to address the TPI issues I was seeing in the Windows Event Log.

 

Why were they rescinded, and am I now supposed to somehow downgrade two revs and go back to a slew of TPI errors in the event log?
