BIOS Revision A09 Released

Please update to the revision immediately and post your results here. It seems importance is rated as Recommended and not urgent, so I'm not sure whether or not the system downclock and fan issues have been fixed, which is quite an urgent matter.

If someone could get a log file of the changes from Dell that would be great.

Update: Thanks Weegie:

Fixes/Enhancements
------------------
1. Added support for BIOS that is signed.
2. Updated to PSA build 4117.
3. Updated thermal table.
4. Fixed the issue where system is slow to boot to internal hard drive after failed PXE boot exits.
5. Fixed the issue where Some BIOS Setup parameters are not accessible with only the keyboard.
6. Fixed the issue where system will automatically shut down at resuming from S3.
7. Fixed the issue where the time of BIOS power event log in Setup is wrong for power button event.
8. Fixed the issue where presentation mode cannot be turned on/off from the DCP.

These things look sOoOoOoO important .

During the flash, the only thing that appeared was "Updating Keyboard Controller ROM", but I don't know if that's regular or not. I will be gaming with this new revision and posting results soon.

All in all, nothing to see here. Seems like Dell either a) does not read our threads, or b) does not care. Nothing to see here .

 

...yeah the keyboard thing always seems to show when changing BIOS. I'll only get to do some gaming later today but curious to see the results

btw RAM....i got arouind 60fps (using FRAPS) without OC in left 4 dead!!

 

Thank you for this information!!!!

Up dated mine to and will test later on to day. Let's just hope for now.

 

So far A09 works fine for me.
No downclocking, temps stay in the high 70ties under load. Fan slows down after load, not as fast as with A03, but still better than with A06.

 

What did you try to load it?

 

Command and Conquer 3
I have a savegame for one mission where A06 slowed down in a couple of minutes.

 

Can't realy test to day and planning on selling mine cash flow isue so won't get to test for much anymore. Will do what I can before it's sold.

 

credit crunch sucks. and sounds like a breakfast cereal

 

Ill try some far cry 2 in a bit. So so far only Sydalesis had the downclocking in A09? is that correct?
