The only other thing I can think of, is the fact that you are running BIOSUpdate as Administrator: I understand the logic, but if it spawns a process to run the actual update file, maybe that fails. And it should still offer the latest firmware available for your model.Īs John often points out, it is safer to save the BIOS file locally and running it outside BIOSUpdate.exe. It's dated 2011.11.24 - before Samsung begang with UEFI models. If you use the BIOSUpdate.exe from Samsung's download page for the NP300E5A-S01CA model that should not be the issue. Do NOT enable it in that case!įor a moment I was thinking maybe your BIOS updater is a new version that assumes you are running a new UEFI-enabled model - and unable to run properly because you are not. If your PC was delivered with Win7, and if you have not changed UEFI yourself, it is likely still disabled. You enter BIOS by pressing F2 right after you power on.
