So I did take a screen shot. I opened SSUtil after the pop up came up, then closed it after the screen shot...but.... Tiny Pics has a maintenance update so I'll email it to you.

Yes, when I get back to that computer I will.

Forget the screenshot - can you tell me the filename it wants to overwrite?

I'll try, but basically it's telling me that I have xxx file already on my computer, do I want to overwrite it? And it gives me the option to overwrite this one, or overwrite all.  It has me shut down all programs, though, so I'm not sure I should have SSUtil running. Think it's safe to leave it up?

Could you send me a screenshot of the prompt window?

I have no warranty on this computer, so a call would be very expensive.

That's a good question ... I want to say yes, but I've never updated a bios the method HP requires you to do.

Do they offer telephone support? I don't want to give you wrong advice.

I looked for my BIOS version another way - restarting the computer and clicking F10. I still get the 80.04 from 3/16/14

Now, when I start to install the new BIOS update I get a pop-up asking me if I want to overwrite existing files. I should click yet to all?

So, I went through the steps - I chose the one to allow HP to download and install, and it zipped right through it. I restarted the computer, checked my bios version and it shows the same, 80.04 I looked in the HP Downloads folder and it's showing an updated BIOS from 11-21-15 which is newer than the one on HPs site. I clicked on that but it says I already have that on my computer.

So why am I showing the older bios when I do the search?

Anyway, the update I did didn't take.

I've done it 100 times without issues. However, I suppose there are risks involved (lose power) during update.

Ok, you will want to update the bios - and here is how to do it :

If you are unsure about anything, they have a video tutorial as well. Once the update is done, make sure to reboot the computer.

I'll look it over. Some places say we should never try to do this ourselves.
