    New Update Killed Laptop


    My laptop was working fine yesterday, then suddenly bam! I can't even get passed the date and time screen.

    I did all the basics: restarted, control+alt+delete, accessed that recovery environment thing, tried to system restore, uninstall updates, startup repair. The only option left is restoring to factory settings, I would greatly appreciate not doing this. I had a lot of pictures of family in the laptop.


    I can't say for sure if its the update but another laptop in my possession had booting issues as well and its a new laptop so new that I got it 2 weeks ago I managed to fix the new one. But the other laptop is refusing to do anything. My best assumption is that both laptops received an update and proceeded to install into their systems when I was asleep. Because how is it even possible for 2 laptops that run on Windows 10 proceed to not work on the same day?


    I am disappointed in the shoddy programming that practically killed one laptop and nearly finishing off the other. I want to file a complaint regarding this matter, but I don't know where.


    UPDATE: Now its completely stuck on a black screen with a cursor.

    :)

    Intel E5200 Gets Updated, R0 Stepping Coming Up

    Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E5200 processor is getting on course for a specifications update. The chip will feature in a new, improved Wolfdale-2M core, spec'd out as the R0 stepping, from its current M0 stepping. The new stepping is intended to add new instructions, power-management features, and bring about changes in the chip-package. A short list of known changes is as follows:
    • CPUID changed from 10677 to 1067A
    • Power State Indicator (PSI) support with Intel 4 series chipsets
    • New instructions - XSAVE and XRSTOR
    • New S-spec and MM numbers
    • New halide-free chip package
    Due to the changed CPUID, users may require BIOS updates to detect the CPU. According to the company, E5200 R0 should be out by April 13.

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond New Update Killed Laptop :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

    Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

    The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:
    • New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
    • Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
    • Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
    • K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
    • Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support
    The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.
