HP DX5150 (MSI MS-7050) 090705 Bios

Anyone have this BIOS still lying around? The rapidshare link has expired.

I've notified the author so he can move it to the newer servers.

Thank You,

OK for all users of this board i recommend that you update to the latest official bios v1.19. Many of the options which i unlocked in the old version have now been officialy unlocked by HP and seeing as there are no overclocking settings present anyway you are much better off flashing the manufactueres bios although i shall do some research into retail bios matching for this board

Sorry, don't have the modded BIOS. Like to know what BIOS version it's based on though, before using. For me it turned out difficult to even get the unmodded, original bios - took some search and reading in the HP forums.

However, The MS 7050 bios history in details should be:

VERSION: 1.19 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35001-35500/sp35439.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35001-35500/sp35439.html

VERSION: 1.18 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33466.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33466.html

VERSION: 1.15 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp32001-32500/sp32469.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp32001-32500/sp32469.html

VERSION: 1.13 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp32001-32500/sp32108.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp32001-32500/sp32108.html

VERSION: 1.09 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp31501-32000/sp31829.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp31501-32000/sp31829.html

VERSION: 1.06 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp31001-31500/sp31068.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp31001-31500/sp31068.html

VERSION: 1.04 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp30501-31000/sp30539.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp30501-31000/sp30539.html

VERSION: 1.03 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp30001-30500/sp30292.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp30001-30500/sp30292.cva

VERSION: 1.00 Rev. A
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp30001-30500/sp30119.exe
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp30001-30500/sp30119.cva


And thus the newest BIOS would be 1.19A :

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35001-35500/sp35439.exe

I originally got the 1.19A link by reading :

http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PC...rue#M64230

It's a selfextractor which contains a ROM and flash software for v1.19A

I tend to assume 1.19A was the end of the line, since google search for "HP Business Desktop ROMPaq Firmware (ROM Family 7050) VERSION SUPERSEDES SP35439" did not bring up anything else than links to the 1.19A bios.

Use at *OWN* risk and all that... I mean it - be carefull - atleast two individuals elsewhere in the (HP) forum with MS 7050 boards Rev1.3 encountered problems going from BIOS 1.04 to 1.19. Unknown if they may have used WinFlash (indications point to that, with phrase "updating...from windows"). From a higher perspective, other people seemed to actually successfully applying the bios update. Well, if anybody of you succeeds in updating, PLEASE let us know in here. Also come up with your PCB REV number.

But first it might be in place to read this :
