Mcp61Pm Hm Nettle3 Update Has Solved

Im not sure yet if that bios update has solved the sleepwake problem I was having.

When I go to the support page for the m9400f (here), it shows a 5.29 bios update for the M 2 P61PM-HM motherboard even though there is no indication that the m9400f actually ever used such a mb.

There is no bios update shown for the M C P61PM-HM which I have.

Naturally, I am very concerned about trying to flash the bios with the wrong firmware.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom about how to proceed Many thanks.

Generally the bios checking code is pretty good at determining if the bios is right for the motherboard.

I am still curious why hp shows the 5.29 bios upgrade for the M2P61PM-HM mb when that mb doesnt appear to be one of the 2 mbs ever used in the m9400f.

If possible and safe, I would like to be able to use the 5.29 upgrade as it may solve a windows sleepwake problem I sometimes encounter.

Upon your previous advice, I was writing a note to sumsolstice when your latest post arrived.

If you have the NVIDIA video processor than try a video update from the NVIDIA web site.

That cycle can repeat a half dozen times or more before really waking up and turning on the monitor.

Once that cycle starts happening, it usually does it whenever I bring the pc out of sleep.

This cycle can be temporarily fixed by rebooting; often, several reboots are necessary.

Once the cycle is broken, the pc usually works normally for many days until the next time it decides to act up.

It may be a HD or DVD drive spinup timing issue but I seem to recall this happening with a previous HD drive in this machine.

Mcp61Pm Hm Nettle3 Software Installs Or

Not sure. It may have some relationship with new software installs or Windows updates, but Im not sure about that either.

Also, btw, although the m9400f may have a nVidia gpu on the mb as part of the nVidia chipset, it is not used and is interestingly not accessible outside the box; the pc comes with an ATI Radeon 3650 card installed and that is what is being used.

The reason you cannot access the onboard video device is that when an addon video card is installed, the onboard video device is disabled.

It says that the update is for the M 2 P61PM-HM mb only, but my m9400f pc has the M C P61PM-HM mb.

I need advice regarding the wisdom of trying to apply that bios update to my particular mb.

What is puzzling to me, is that the Product Specifications indicate: Motherboard name: Narra3-GL8E or Nettle3-GL8E.

The product specs do not mention a M 2 P61PM-HM mb except in the bios update info.

On Friday evening, I flashed the bios with the 5.29 update (sp44500.exe) and, although its been less than 2 days, that seems to be working okay.
