Medion Erazer X6805 boot order keeps changing

Darious_M — Sun, 18 Feb 2024 14:44:56 GMT

Hi there

Is it possible to get a new bios for the Medion X6805 - MD 61140 Erazer laptop MSN - 30025007?

Current bios is N.1.03

For some reason the boot order keeps changing to default.

Thanks in advance!!

@Darious_M

Hi Darous, which other boot media is listed in Bios menu - Boot? If it are not uefi capable boot media they can be put at the end of the list. Depending on the UEFI Bios.

You can get the Bios boot menu ísolated on the screen by pressing the F8 or F10 tab when starting the PC. For Tongfang Barebones it could be another F tab. Try F7, F9 or others. May be you find it in Bios, or disabling Quietboot.

The Bios Logo often s gives you a hint which tab to choose.

And then klicking on the boot media of your choice.

About a Bios Update you have to ask a moderator

Cheers daddle

Thank you @daddle

All options are there and the Laptop will boot up and will load windows, but if I go back to the bios, the boot options have gone back to default when it should have kept UEFI HDD Windows Boot Manager as the first option.

Can I please, ask a Moderator to provide me with a link to update the BIOS?

@Darious_M

That is not a question of a Bios-Update.

But you did not answer my question which and if any other UEFI capable boot media is installed on your PC?

If it is only the HDD with the Windows Boot Manager then this will be first and only choice to boot from. Then it doesn't matter at all in which posiition it is listed.

All the other predefined items as CD/DVD or UEFI CD/DVD, USB Harddisk or UEFI USB Harddisk etc. do not interfere with the bootorder, as far they do not contain an UEFI bootable media. And if yes, it will keep the bootorder you do preset, as long as you leave the bios with Save and Exit, and confirm your changes with Yes.

But you prefer not to answer this question.

The best would be you post a screenshot from the bootorder, with your settings, and after reboot

I do not understand what you actually want. It doesn't boot into Windows after reboot anymore?

There are no other bootable devices present.

I set up a Raid 0 before these started. And I don’t really have a major issue. I just want to have the latest BIOS, so I am sure the Laptop has best Firmware on. Please see photos attached!

Is there a new Bios for my Laptop?

@Darious_M

Then why do you make such a fuss (fake) about the bootorder? You should have issued the question if there is a newer bios directly.

New bios update comes through device manager. Check for system firmware update in Device Manager.

@daddle

Thank you for your support,

However, I am not making any fuss, I simply stated on my first message, what I thought was the problem and asked for a BIOS update if that was possible!?

Why do you think is is appropriate to talk to me this way and tell me that my problem is “fake”?

if you have a particular issue with me asking a simple question as a new member! And want to educate me, I have no problem with that. I am happy to learn.

I will be very happy if experienced members try to help me and not patronise me in the process.

at the end of the day my bios is pretty old, and I provided all details.
can some moderators be helpful and help me without patronising me?

You are contradicting yourself. You state in Post 5:

Fotos are not to be seen yet.

First you argue about strange Bios behaviour, thats why you needed a new bios. See OP.

Now it is just the wish to have the latest Bios available?

Have you actually gone back and read my first post?
I’ll help you. It said: “

”

As you can see my first sentence was about possibility of getting a new bios version.

And right at the end before thanking the helpers I mentioned what I thought it was the problem.

my request from the very beginning was for new BIOS.

if I was and am still wrong, that’s totally irrelevant!

my question here is, why you taking it personally and keep arguing with me over this?

at the end of the day I am a new member and need support and help. If anyone can help I appreciate it and if not, please don’t bother me.

@Darious_M

Thanks for you helping me. 😉 But think straight. First you say the reason for a the bios is it is not saving your modified settings, afterwards your real interest pops up and your argument changes: "I just want to have the most recent bios"

Your assumption that the old BIOS is to blame for the described misconduct is completely unfounded. This it would have shown longtime ago already. And with a lot of other users as well.

You argued with contradicting arguments. As your threadtitle shows also.

Your pictures were as I wrote then not seen yet. They first had to be authorisized by a moderator, with generally takes some time.

The different settings in your screenshots doesn't proof anything.

Maybe it's your CMOS battery, which is weak. That could prevent the saving of your changed settings.

And being a new member you could be more moderate and not telling someone who is trying to help "not to bother you". If there is a dfiference in arguing.

Thats all..daddle

Hi @Major_ToM and @Fishtown

I have successfully downloaded and unzipped the BIOS file.

tried to run the batch file as admin but nothing happens, please accept my apologies as I am not that technical but I have flashed other laptop bios in the past, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Is there another ways of doing this?

Please provide further instruction if you can.

Best Regards.

Darious.
