Re: problem since last autoupdate on ibm thinkpad laptop x20



Windows Update does not include BIOS updates, these are issued by your
computer manufacturer; in this case Lenovo.
I would contact Lenovo and query them about the problem, as this is a
hardware problem rather than a Windows problem, as you can't get past
your x20's BIOS.

I have an ibm thinkpad laptop x20 with xpsp2 and it wouldn't retart
after last xp autoupdate.

It looks like the bios version changed. It reads PhoenixBIOS 4.0
Release 6

I can't enter the bios and it freezes at that point.
If I choose <f1> or <f12> it says it is "entering setup..." or
"preparing boot device list..." and then, nothing.
<f11> won't boot the diagnostic partition either.

Any ideas?
