Have a look on the manufacturers site, see if they have published a later version of the BIOS than you have then upgrade if it says about your issue. If it doesnt say then drop the support mail address a message about the issue, they may have a BIOS they haven't published or they may be able to offer help for this issue. For firmware, the old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it" applies so only upgrade your BIOS if you know it will solve your issue. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

All the problems get discovered with firmware/BIOS' when they are first released. Generally after 4/5 BIOS revisions they are normally stable. If you get onto the manufacturer they should be able to send you an image which has freedos and awdflash.exe on it or something. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

My brand new Toshiba laptop run at around half the speed that it _should_ under Linux. I benchmarked it and it was truly awful. Looking on the Toshiba website I found a BIOS update that came out a short while after I bought the laptop. It _required_ windows (which irritated me no end) to install. So I backed up ubuntu, wiped the hard disk and installed XP from the recovery CD - giving it only 10G, then applied the BIOS update, reinstalled Ubuntu (in the remaining 90G) et voila! It was much faster. BIOS updates can appear at any time after manufacture, and the motherboard you have is far from new, it will have been physically manufactured some weeks or months before.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] CPU temps-Update
Ok i did the hand test i.e i touched the heatsink and it wasnt hot at all..i could barely feel any warmth coming from there! By the way for those talking bout sensors When i type it into terminal ..it gives me temps for both cores...and sometimes they are showing as different temps! > Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2007 22:04:04 +0100> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com> Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] CPU temps> > Alan Pope > wrote:> > Hi Rob,> > > > On Thu, 2007-09-06 at 18:33 +0100, Rob Beard wrote:> > >> Pete Stean wrote:> >>> hmm, I'm guessing here, but I would imagine one of > those is *supposed* > >>> to be CPU temp, the other is case temp - very > unsual for them to be the > >>> same, case temp is usually a couple degrees > more.
