I just recently got my inspiron laptop and after shutting it down and booting it back up again I got hit with a BIOS update and it’s been stuck at 1% for about 20-30 minutes now. Any suggestions?

Today I installed a BIOS update (Dell Precision 7530 and 7730 System BIOS - 1.35.0 - 21.14 MB - Critical) on my Precision 7730 and right after it restarted everything became very very slow. It's lagging so much I'm struggling to write this post while having to wait every 2 seconds for the text I typed to show. I see nothing abnormal on Task Manager. It was working fine without any issues until this update today.

What can I do about this? Is it possible to undo this update?

I bought this m16 Alienware laptop and I downloaded the updates Bios and installed it, reset it and it’s been stuck in this screen for 20+ minutes now. Is it normal?

This is the third time this happens to me with a brand new, expensive Dell laptop. It seriously affects my workday. At some point during the night, the laptop decides to update its firmware, and gets itself stuck at zero, until the morning when I arrive at the office. Now, I have no way of starting the computer, as it wont power down. Its fans are going loud and there is no progress. Please, can anyone assist with this? What do I do?

Hey, this is a question out of curiosity, Does anything happen when doing a stand alone bios rewrite and update (downloaded from dell website) and a automatic windows update runs during the time between it restarts. Just wanted to know as its taking a long time to load.

Edit:

Its solved ,what worked was if system get stuck during a bios update on a automatic windows update just power off system by holding power button and on it again, bios update should start right after system turns on This scared the soul out of me as I thought that a windows update before pc restarts during the bios update might corrupt the bios or brick something, glad everything worked out. Thanks developers for the fail safes.

Thanks a lot

This started exactly two days ago and I’ve kept it plugged in for the entire time hoping the situation would resolve on its own. It hasn’t. What should I do?

I recently just downloaded BIOS update for my alienware R14 from Dell and it is my worst nightmare. Friday night I downloaded the BIOS update from Dell and its been my worst experience i ever had with them. My PC was working fine, did the BIOS update and it took an hour for my computer to boot up. I did get the courage once to restart and had a heart attack because i just had the black screen looping and my keyboard lit up for a minute and went dark. Finally after an hour or more it finally came on and I know this is not normal. The BIOS update came out in January but it was corrupted and this one was suppose to be the fix. Well it definitely did not fix anything, it has just created stress and lose sleep because this pc was a lot of money and I just cant fo buy another one on a whim. Tomorrow I am calling Dell Tech and they need to fix whatever went wrong and if they dont i dont know what to do. My computer is not getting turned off until I speak to them. Is anyone else having an issue with this BIOS update?

I'm on an Alienware Aurora R11. I tried updating my BIOS as I do, with Alienware Update this time. It's either that or Support Assist. I've never ran into problems before and I didn't know until today that people have bricked their motherboards by doing this. I'm really scared because I just dropped 1900 on this computer a few days ago and I absolutely can't afford to repair it, let alone replace it. Currently, the Alienware Update window says:
Installing Updates (3 of 3)
Warning: The current operation can no longer be cancelled.
(The warning you normally get about not unplugging anything or whatever. you know)
I have automatically restart system when required checked. It has not turned off even once.
Cancel is partially faded out and I can't click on it.
The more I look into this, the more stressed I get. I need sleep but I'm so tense and shaking, I feel like everything I've just invested in could collapse.
I don't know if I said this already or if it was clear, but the update is still going on. I'm writing this from the same computer that is being updated. I need to get this post out so I'm not making any edits at the moment. Sorry.
