Thanks !

 

Hello,

I have a Clevo P150EM with the Bios version 2.15.1227
Bios Date 10/19/2012 v 4.6.5.3 (American Megatrends)

Since these Bios versions are very different from the 1st post on this thread I am asking if I can flash my laptop with the latest bios listed here.


I want to update to the latest Bios because I can't install the graphics driver on windows 8.

\VEN_10DE&DEV_1251&SUBSYS_51051558&REV_A1\4&15491A0A&0&00

Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you

 

The BIOS is not the problem for your graphics drivers.

 

have u tried disabling the driver signature enforcement before installing the drivers?

 

Less one problem. Thank you

Yes I did

 

u should then try what meaker already suggested in the other thread and head to laptopvideo2go.com they provide drivers with modded infs, adding virtually any nvidia card to the driver´s compatibility list maybe that would help you out

btw, if u dont mind me asking.... why do u have a 560M in ur machine in the first place? i thought they would only come with 6xx series gpus....

 

I just did but same problem.

I don't know, when I ordered the laptop I could pick one of these:
GTX560m + 0€
GTX 675MX 4GB +210€
HD 7970M 2GB + 100€
GTX 680M 4GB + 450€

 

ah ok, gotcha so the only drivers that work are the ones that were preinstalled or on the provided driver cd?

Edit: Looks like the VBIOS was written in May last year.

Spoiler

Edit 2: using EC 1.02.11

 

What does the high res Clevo UEFI logo look like?

I quite like the high res Sager logo so I may stick until Sager release 1.02.16.

 

Looks like this:

Spoiler

Doesn't look high res.

I prefer AMI logo though, feels like the laptop has no brand.

 

Ah Ok I assume you aren't using Windows 8 UEFI boot then?

I do and I get a small high res Sager logo with the Windows progress circle underneath which stays on screen until Windows 8 has loaded.

Much quicker than with an old BIOS too.

 

Oh, is it triggered by installing Windows 8? Doesn't seem to have any options in the BIOS to activate that.

 

Yeah it is...

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/695285-how-clevo-usb-efi-install-windows-8-a.html

 

Guess I'll pass on this then, still prefer Windows 7 for now..

 

Windows 8 with StartIsBack and the start panel disabled is basically 7 with back end improvements.

Plus UEFI boot is so fast.

 

I use Classic Shell, but both do the same thing. I agree, it boots straight to desktop, they both allow you to customize your start button, mine is hello kitty But there is no doubt for me, Windows 8 is much better than Windows 7, especially if you have a 7970M. There is a lot of improvements under the hood, it's not just Windows 7 with a Metro Start.

Anyway, I really like MySn's boot loading logo. It's a great XMG notebook logo, but I'm currently running Sager's also.

 

I used to use Classic Shell and customised it for hours but I find StartIsBack is much better.

It looks like what the start menu would look like if MS had left it in (which MS did to a certain extent and StartIsBack uses a lot of what was left in).

The XMG logo is nice. I wonder what the Clevo one looks like.

 

That's what they have for Clevo. It's that Green XMG logo.

Take Classic Shell for a spin, lots of skins and you can find lots of customized skins as well.

 

Same combo here. I think this is what Windows 8 should have been out-of-the-box

 

since ull have to pay for startisback u might as well go ahead and check out start8, i can totally recommend it

 

You really don't read my posts do you.

Also why would Clevo stock BIOS files have the MySN XMG boot logo?

Has anyone tried the 1.02.16 BIOS in UEFI mode yet?

 

Clevo just uses the identical same old "Style Note Logo" (640x4 80px)for both standard and BGRT logo...

 

Great cheers Prema.

 

No, but I did try one few months ago that did have UEFI support. And as Prema said, it's just the StyleNote logo, not very attractive logo.

I wish MySn and Sager would post change logs to see how their BIOS versions differ from the standard Clevo. I think MySn is the stock Clevo but with the logo changed. Not sure.

 

Hi!

I have the latest version of 1.00.xx and I'm using Win7.

It's recommended to update to the latest 1.02.xx version?

What are the changes?

Thanks.

 

i think it would be great to know which machine ure on

 

Sorry

P150EM

 

You can update if you want, but it's not needed. It's really only updated for secure boot and Windows 8 UEFI support.

I wonder where he found the 1.02.16 BIOS.

 

Probably just mirroring what Clevo has on their server.

 

I wonder how he does that? Their server is PW protected.

 

Thanks for the enlightenment!

 

can anyone, please give me direct link to latest bios 1.02.16 for my P150EM?

thanks : P

 

1.02.16 for P150EM

 

Thank you dear Prema!!!:thumbsup:

 

Any news for for P170EM?

 

Weird, I have no vBIOS info with BIOS 14 from Sager.

 

The new p150em bios , is it a sager or clevo ? . I am confused. I am running latest msdn bios but I want to flash the new bios to upgrade intel hd4000 bios , at the same time I have to make sure its not sager bios

 

It's stock Clevo. The only difference between others is that they have their own image instead of the Style Note image. At least that's my impression. For Sager they have the FN+1 added. But that's not needed.

 

What are the changes?

 

C'mon, the link is provided and if you read just a few posts above, you can see where he got the link with all the info about it.

 

Hey guys, I've been doing this for myself for a while now, but I thought I'd share you everyone else

Personally, I like the newer Clevo bioses for my Sager NP9150 (compared to the newer Sager ones), because I'd rather have the FN key on the left, like my keyboard shows. BUT, I don't like the boring StyleNote logo... So,

Here's the 1.02.16 Clevo BIOS with the Sager Boot Logo for the NP9150/P150EM...

LINK: P150EM.16 Just copy that file over the one in the package two posts above me!

Remember, if you are on a Sager BIOS/EC, I would practice precaution going to Clevo (but more importantly coming back)... I've done it 1000x back and fourth, but still... Make sure you know what you are doing/have done it before Always flash the EC first, without rebooting, etc etc etc...

NOTE:
I am using the UEFI Boot, but before I flashed this I turned it off... Then after I flashed it, I noticed the stock BIOS look distorted... Just turn UEFI back on, and everything will look fine... If you are using the stock BIOS (not UEFI), just reboot once, and it should look okay! If not, then toggle UEFI on, reboot, then turn it back off... That'll definitely work...

 

Heh, if you have the newer, better Windows 8 logo keyboard, the Windows key is always on the left, doesn't matter what BIOS you have.

 

Yeah, I unfortunately was a few weeks off in my order to get that keyboard... Oh well... I kinda like the function key on the left though, so i'm not complaining

 

I saw a few posts but this detail passed me.

But now I found it!

Thanks!

 

Sweet. Yeah no idea if it does it for all, but I have a feeling this is with the ME 8 firmware update, that's why you have to run meset.exe first. For my machine, I have a newer ME 8 firmware so nothing shows up for Intel vBios, or maybe something else going on, no idea.
