Clevo BIOS Thread

All done.
Let's see if someone else with this unit can reproduce the issue.

 

I have never owned a Clevo but its just a guess though... You might wanna check for updated EC file or maybe just keyboard cable might have an issue or is it OS specific say, it works in Windows but not in Linux or Mac OS?

 

Hello. I've had some problems with my Clevo P650RS lately. Hoping that a bios update might help it. Heard that the Premamod bios is way better than the standard one. Is there any way to get that one at the moment, or should I give up on this idea. If there is, where can I find it? Thanks

 

Send @Prema PM or email him. Only he can help you.

can i put a p775dm3 bios on a pm775dm1? @Prema @bloodhawk

 

No. Don't cross flash

 

Hi guys, I have a problem with a laptop that I came across recently. The laptop is a clevo M765SU. The problem is that when I install Windows xp or Vista it is working fine. Once I install Windows 7 or higher, intense stuttering happens. The specs are: Intel core 2 duo T9600 at 2.8 ghz, 3gb of ram at 1066 mhz, Nvidia 9300m GS, 120GB Sandisk SSD. The motherboard model is M7X0SU. On bios under tab '' Installed os'' the only options are Win XP, Vista , Other OS. There is no Win 7. This is the latest bios I could find online and EC is at its latest version. Any thoughts that might fix this? Is there any bios that I could flash from another model without bricking it? Thanks!

 

Here is the latest BIOS and EC for this model:
http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/M7xxSU/

It's from 2011 so I suspect it should have support for Windows 7. Normally, laptops that support Windows Vista also work with Windows 7.

 

Hi, thanks for replying! I have already installed the latest BIOS and EC from the page you sent me and its still the same...

 

So when does the stuttering happen? Before you install Windows 7, during installation or after the installation? Have you tried Windows 10 ?

 

It happens after the installation. I have tried Windows 10 and the stuttering is even worse. I noticed one thing though, I changed the hard disk with another one that had Windows 7 already on. At the first boot even with the wrong drivers it didn't stutter ( while playing music with windows media player). Then Windows asked me to reboot the system. I rebooted it and it started stuttering again.

 

Reset the CMOS and try again

 

I did it, nothing happened... Also the cmos battery is new.

 

I recommended doing that because once I had my cpu being stuck at 800Mhz for some reason and only a CMOS reset would fix it

 

It did the same thing with a 2.00 ghz intel it had on before. I thought changing the cpu would fix things, so I swapped it with a 2.8ghz (1066 mhz) intel. It still does the same thing, this is why I suspect it is a bios problem. No matter what changes I did to bios, updated it, restored it, changed its battery, nothing, its still the same. Plus the problem becomes more apparent when I am watching youtube, or listening to music with windows media player and open chrome for example.

 

Is your BIOS and EC updated with the latest from Clevo?

Its weird but most likely its a problem with the BIOS itself

 

Yes both are updated from this page:
https://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/M7xxSU/

 

I can't really explain what is happening on your laptop. I have a laptop just as old as yours, with it's latest BIOS that has only Vista support in it, and it works fine with Win 7 and Win 10. Given that you say that it stutters after the first successful Windows boot, I would suspect that the video drivers are to blame. Try to boot into safe mode.

 

A latency tracker might give some info.

 

I wanted to point out that the last bios clevo of the laptop p775tm1g, 09/21/2019
Update P7xxTM1 (G) BIOS Version 1.07.27
P7xxTM1 (G) _B10727.zip
has a bug on the configurations of the ssd m2 in pciexpress, I tried it losing a lot of time, my 2 m2 raid 0 had disappeared, I then reposted the b10725, everything came back to life
to whom should this clevo be reported?

 

Report this to your reseller. You may also report it to one of Clevo's service centre: https://www.clevo.com.tw/clevo_contact.asp?lang=en

 

Hello, since a BIOS update is made up of two parts, it is required to flash the closest EC version of the BIOS or is a later EC version okay?

What I mean is, months ago I updated the BIOS of my Clevo P960ED to 1.07.08 from Palkeo's mirror. But I didn't know I should update the EC first, so it's still at 1.07.02 (I bought it at February of this year). If I want to update the EC, should I update it to 1.07.07, or a later version?

 

Unless stated otherwise in the instructions of the BIOS files, you should always first update the EC to the latest version and then the BIOS to the latest version.

 

Hi all, I fallowed all the steps to update the EC firmware and nothing is working for my p775tm1g laptop. I downloaded Rufus to make a bootable usb key. Downloaded the firmware from this site http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/M7xxSU/
Then after disabled EUFI mod in bios to make the key bootable. Can someone help me typing the write command to make it work ? Heres the only files I have from the new EC firmware I wanna update. Thanks a lot for the help guys... I know im terrible https://imgur.com/ZMUlU1i

 

Why are u using a M7XXSU link in the first place?

You are lucky the laptop is working...

Should have been a easy hardbrick and could easily need to buy a new motherboard for it..

Yes they are expensive af

Use the correct EC and flash your machine:

Don't EVER go around flashing the EC blindly...

It's not recoverable like the BIOS with a programmer..

 

Ok perfect, thanks for the tips man. So after what im doing ? going to take the files on the USB stick then after ? What to i write on bios ?Thanks alot

 

Hello everyone,

I've searched this thread but didn't find an answer.
My problem is I want to flash the original BIOS, but don't know which version is ok for me.
I have a P775DM3-G with Skylake 6700k CPU.
What are my options? I see a P775DM BIOS, but am not sure if it is compatible.
I'm probably ok with any version, not necessary for it to be the very latest.

Thank you in advance

 

There is a included readme.txt will all instructions. Flash your model EC and BIOS and you should be good to go. Don't ever flash EC's from other models again. Hope you learned the hard way

P775DM bios isn't for P775DM3-G.

For P775DM3-G you can grab the latest BIOS here:

https://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P7xxDM23G/P7xxDM3G_B11.zip

Latest System EC for P775DM3-G:
https://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P7xxDM23G/P7xxDM3G_EC10601.zip
2nd EC:

https://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P7xxDM23G/P7xxDMx_2nd_EC10601.zip


Flash order: flash the system EC, 2nd EC and BIOS

REBOOT in between. Read the readme.txt in each zip and follow the instructions. Flash BIOS/EC with Rufus FREEDOS or UEFI.

Should be easy to do

 

Heya, just a quick question:

Is it generally okay to flash the EC/BIOS of a generic Clevo barebone laptop (PB71EF-G) with the latest EC/BIOS of a reseller/manufacturer (branded, like from HID, Sager, XMG etc.) or will this cause problems. Same question about the drivers supplied by these resellers.
I'm not sure if they change anything with their own "branded" supplied software, other than the Clevo Control Center (whats even different there?).

(Also in the same scenario: There are 2 different versions of this model: with 8th gen or 9th gen intel i7 processor, would it make any difference if you'd take the (newer) drivers/bios listed under the model with 9th gen for your 8th gen model?)

Actually, where to find the official/generic clevo bios/ec updates? I searched on their website and just found the drivers, but no firmware/bios updates.

Thanks and a happy new year!

 

I would avoid it. I know for some older Clevo laptops (2013-2016), you could flash from a Sager BIOS to a generic Clevo BIOS, but you could not flash from a generic Clevo BIOS to a Sager branded BIOS. Trying the later would brick the machine.
As far as I know, HID and XMG closely follow the standard generic BIOS, so it should be possible to cross-flash. Sager usually makes more modifications. Overall, it should be possible but there are certain risks involved and I am not sure if it is worth taking those risks.

 

Hi all,

I've recently got myself an NH70RCQ in a sale and I'm liking it for the most part. There are just a few things I'd like to change that every mention online I can see how to do it says go into the BIOS and change the setting there. I have and the settings given to me seem very limited. I'm wondering whether the firmware that came with mine is not the standard Clevo one (it's an Insyder H2O 1.07.11TMB1 if that means anything). Would there be anything to be gained by trying to swap out for the stock one or just a way to open up some more settings?

Cheers!

 

The best thing is to stick the BIOS provided by your reseller and ask your reseller for future updates. Once the warranty is out or if you can no longer contact your reseller, you may want to switch the stock one. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any major differences between your resellers BIOS and the stock one from Clevo.

 

Yeah, I figured that would be the case. And, I suppose, in situations like this where I don't really know what I'm doing, best to stay away. It's just a shame to see things so limited in that respect. Though I've not been able to see any images of a BIOS that looks like mine which makes me kind of suspect I'm not actually in the BIOS. I'll take a picture a little later but I'm not actually at my laptop at the moment funnily enough. But for now, instead of the sort of text-only blue and grey thing I was expecting, on pressing F2 while starting up, it's a dark grey screen with version numbers on the top left and the H2O logo on the right. Below that, it has 5 options displayed as picture bubbles with text underneath. Four of them are various boot options that I can't specifically recall right now and one says advanced settings which doesn't really have anything in there I need.

Is this perhaps something completely different?

 

Hello there,

A while back, I had the BIOS on my EVOC P775TM1-R upgraded (over a remote session) by HIDEvolution.
The current BIOS version is 1.07.EVOC2.
With the same overclocking settings as I had before, I run into several issues:

(a). Windows 10 BSODs with the bug check string "INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR" every time the CPU+GPU are under load. This is typical in games such as Battlefield 1, Battlefield V and any video encoding workload (such as Staxrip).
(b). AIDA64's stability test module fails with the infamous "Hardware Failure Detected" state after running for about one minute, no matter the combination of stability test suites selected/checked.

What I've tried to do in troubleshooting this issue:

(a). Resetting the BIOS to defaults. This does not alleviate the issue, it still persists.
(b). Using a different CPU undervolt offset in the BIOS. All values I test with, from 0 to 130mV show the same result, regardless of the multipliers set in the OC menu.
In my case, I use stock clocks apart from the last three multipliers which are set to 45x, at an undervolt of 130mV.
I also use the XMP profile 1 for the RAM in use ( Kingston HyperX KHX2666C15S4/16G), set at DDR4-2666 (1333 MHz).

What gives? Is a roll back to an older BIOS version possible @Prema @Zoltan@HIDevolution @Donald@HIDevolution ?

 

An update:

I disabled XMP and now RAM is running at 2400MHz. The stability issues went away.
I narrowed down the instability to both the Cache and memory stress tests, then disabled XMP in the BIOS and re-tested again.
it seems the XMP profile on the Kingston HyperX KHX2666C15S4 does not feed the correct voltage(s) to the SODIMMs.
Now to figure out how to tune this RAM for performance identical to, or better than, the XMP profile without BSODs. FML.

 

Just a FYI: I have this RAM:
Kingston Technology HyperX Impact 32GB 2933MHz DDR4 CL17 SODIMM (Kit of 2) Memory HX429S17IBK2/32
And I don't have any stability issues in testing with XMP profile enabled.

 

My issues began after the BIOS update.

What BIOS version are you running? Do.you have the same machine?

 

After a session with the excellent @Prema it seems I won't be able to use XMP on this P775TM1-R with my memory kit.
Back to 2400MHz I guess :-(

 

So I swapped out the kit I had in the P775TM1-R with another kit from the older P751DM2-G, and
used the settings from the XMP profiles, changing tWTR value from 0 to 7 and set the voltage to 1.35v (from 1.20v).

The memory kit I swapped to is the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2666 MHz DDR4.

The multiplier was also changed from 9 to 10.

And now I have a stable custom profile running at 2667MHz, 1.35v on the stock BIOS.
I may retest the same settings with the Prema BIOS mod later on down the line.

I'll keep using the stock BIOS for a while to test for stability. If any issues crop up I'll post them here.

 

I have a different machine. PA70HS-G 1.05.05 BIOS

 

Latest bios for your machine is:
1.05.16

Greetings folks,
someone managed to download the latest bios for N9xxTD_TF (version 1.07.09), N95xxTD_TF (version 1.07.10) and N9xTC (version 1.07.06) models ?



TIA and best,

Hello,

This is my first post here. I was wondering whether it is possible to disable Intel ME in 1.07.27 BIOS version of P775TM1-G. When I set the HAP bit and flash with SPI, the system will boot and shutdown shortly afterwards.

Is there any way to prevent this and force Intel ME to stay disabled? Any suggestions/hints would be welcome.

 

Please rule out other possibilities that might be causing unexpected shutdowns BEFORE messing around with BIOS changes. A compromised cooling system - broken or weak fan, dry thermal paste, loose heatsink, blocked air vents - could well be causing this.

I have: P771DM-G
With bios version 1.05.04 system bios date 10/05/2015 video bios date 08/10/15

Can I use the bios in the op for "P750DM (Sager NP9758) / P750DM-G / P770DM (Sager NP9778) / P770DM-G / P751DM / P771DM"
It says P771DM. but not P771DM-G.

And here it says "BIOS V 1.05.10 for all P7x0DM / P7x1DM / -G models except P775DM"
Does that mean I can safely use this? Just want to double check, seeing how sensitive process this is.

Also, since my bios is 1.05.04. and this is 1.05.10. There is a change log.
But is there a changelog to see what happend in earlier versions? like 0.5, 0.6 etc.?

 

It seems that running mesetx64.efi from UEFI shell will temporarily disable the Management Engine until next cold boot.
If any of the geeks here could analyze it and integrate its commands into a modded BIOS, one could achieve similar behavior (for instance configured from BIOS setup, or even permanently)

 

I think its better to ask Prema himself.
Maybe Mr. Fox and Papusan can help

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Since I cannot send PMs yet, I will have to ask @Prema here.
However, it may require modifications in the EC firmware, in order to emulate FD_OVERRIDE (flash descriptor override) mode at each boot.
Are there any other options to force this mode, apart from the pinmod, in P775TM1? A special jumper or a hidden BIOS option?

 

I think it will work.
