After installing a BIOS update make sure to check all items are enabled as required in the BIOS settings. If it boots correctly after this and get Internet access then check for new drivers.
where would I check to c if things are enabled..this is an older lptop hp pavilion dv6 wish I never heard of bios update lol now nothing works...no way I can download a version etc as im not on the laptop using another device here
found a website..said to type in misinfo.32 to c version u r running..when I do this it says cannot acess the windows management instrumentation software .windows management files maybe moved or missing...does tht make sense to anyone
where would I do this and how...im pretty hopeless at this...it says my bios version is f.00 if that helps im pretty sure it hasn't downloaded probley or something like that has basically made laptop unusable nothing works
I've used HP laptops for a number of years and have also experienced a few OMG moments when performing BIOS updates. One of the things that helped me the most was ensuring I was physically connected to the router when rebooting, for some reason it didn't like being wireless when it was being flashed. Hope that helps!
So find another computer to download them on and copy them over with USB key or CD/DVD. If the drivers don't work it would probably be worth trying the Bios update again.
Also another option if you have not tried it is to try using the tether option on a phone to get your a temporary internet connection.
cheers any help appreciated...wondering if the bios update didn't work for most of the pc to not be working or something in the pc has been disabled...any thing I could be looking at it was via wireless...but have bad feeling ive done something wrong I did run cc clener and defrag just b4 this happened and deleted aa load of piures and movies of the hard drive to free up space might have done something wrong there perhaps?cc ccleaner ticked to ddeletee is memory dumps windows lof filees ...not sure what they r

Go to the HP website on the previous post, choose the version of Windows 7 you have(32 our 64 bit) bios is one of the options to expand and then choose to download the latest version at the top. Once downloaded run the file.
