Windows Won't Boot or Blue Screens of Death - Dell Users Complain After Latest BIOS Update

We have talked on different occasions about failures and problems with Windows in different versions as a result of development failures by Microsoft. But there are times when manufacturers do their part and that is what is happening with Dell and some of its equipment as a result of a recent update.

This is a BIOS update for different models from the brand's catalog. An update that is causing all kinds of errors, from blue screens of death to preventing the computer from booting the corresponding version of Windows they have installed.

No final solution for now

How they count on Bleeping Computer, the update affects both laptop and desktop computer models And it didn't take long for complaints to appear on in relation to the problems caused by said update, either in Reddit threads, in forums of the brand in different threads. As an example the opinion of this user in the Dell forums.

Specifically, the problems are presented by the latest version of the BIOS, which corresponds to version 1.14.3 for Dell Latitude 5320/5520 , BIOS version 2.8.0 for Dell Inspiron 5680 and BIOS version 1.0.18 for Alienware Aurora R8

Most of the complaints state that after updating the BIOS the computers have failed to boot into Windows. Others claim that they encounter BSOD, the dreaded blue screen of death or even though the computer boots up, the screen doesn't turn on.

For now it is not clear what the dimension of the problem is and if it affects more computers. Also, there is no software fix at this time Until Dell releases an update to address the bugs that cause these failures, only cable downgrade the BIOS to revert to a previous firmware version.

In this regard, some affected have shared methods that can be used to go back to an earlier version of the BIOS using SupportAssist OS Recovery and well solve this problem. There is also a guide from Dell at this link that shows how to recover the BIOS and correct this problem.
