I'm having trouble trying to determine exactly what motherboard I have and what BIOS update I need for it. I have determined that my current configuration is:
FOXCONN 2AB1 Motherboard
AMD 785G Chipset
AMD SB700 Southbridge
American Megatrends Inc BIOS
Version 6.05 January 18th 2011
BTW I have a Windows 7 Ultimate HP Pavilion p6720f Desktop PC.
I don't really understand where to go to find the proper BIOS update, I have tried both the FOXCONN and AMI websites with no luck. The HP website makes no sense, when I look at BIOS updates listed under my computer, two different ones are listed. Neither of them sounds at all like my motherboard or current BIOS. They are called H-RS880-UATX Motherboard BIOS Update and N-Alvorix-RS880 Motherboard BIOS Update. How in the world do I know what BIOS update I need to install?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I feel like contacting HP to update my BIOS is a little bit of overkill, isn't their a reliable way to find the correct update online and do it yourself?
I suggested contacting HP support since determining what BIOS update is required has not been possible.
They should be able to point to which update is required for your computer.
The HP web site link you posted earlier does not list any USB drivers!
Did you look under "Driver-original"?
You do not turn your computer off when not in use! Why not?
Do you use Safely Remove when you disconnect a Removable Disk?

You periodically have problems with Disk1. Disk1 is either not being properly recognised by the system or it was not connected at the time you obtained the System Information file. Disk1 is not your main internal drive. When you connect your WD My Passport 0730 USB Device what Disk number shows in the lower pane of Disk Management?
How many CD-ROM drives are installed?
A 500 watt power supply unit will not cope with the demand if you attach over many extra devices.

I have not tried the previous link but you might get some interesting results.
