PERSONAL, I HAVE BEEN DOING THE DOWNGRADE FOR VERSION 1.1.8 AND EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL !! HUGE HAPPINESS !!
RESOLUTION:
The problem is associated with BIOS versions 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 of the notebook, and apparently this is a recurring problem with the Dell Inspiron 5570 model.
To troubleshoot, first restart your computer and disable the option that updates the BIOS automatically. This is fundamental. Follow the steps below:
1. After the system restarts, press F2 to enter BIOS setup
2. There will be an option to disable UEFI firmware updates, as explained below. Disable this option to prevent Windows from automatically updating the firmware.
3. Save your changes and restart the laptop. Enter the following link and download the BIOS version 1.1.8 update file:
- 1.1.8:
Dell Inspiron 5570/5770 KBL System BIOS | Driver details | Dell Brazil
4. After downloading, you will have the file "Inspiron5570_5770_111".
5. Go to "start" -> "change search settings for files and folders" -> "view" and check the option "Show files, folders and hidden drives". Uncheck the option "Hide extensions for known file types"
6. Notice that .exe now appears at the end of your file. Rename the entire file, including the .exe, to "BIOS_IMG.rcv". So we modified the file to .rcv, an extension accepted by the BIOS boot. Windows can notify you that the file may become invalid, something like that, confirm.
7. Format your thumb drive, leaving it on the FAT 32 system, with the "quick format" option disabled.
8. Copy the file to the USB drive with FAT32 format.
- Windows automatically identifies the file on the flash drive after restoring the BIOS. Its default is to search for .rcv files on flash drives.
9. Turn off the laptop and disconnect the power cord;
10. Wait 5 seconds after disconnecting the power cord. Press Ctrl + Esc (press and hold) and then plug in the power cord. Keep pressing until you see the BIOS recovery window;
11. Choose BIOS recovery and confirm. The downgrade will happen.
12. To check the BIOS Version, press Windows + R to open Run and type "cmd", when opening the Command Prompt, type "wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion" to see the version of your BIOS. The result will be 1.1.8, celebrate and leave for the hug !! GAMES BACK GUARANTEED !!
Is there a way to downgrade my Inspiron 5570 from bios version 1.14 back to 1.1.8 without bricking it? After a windows update I didnt know it had the bios update included on it and now my games crash from time to time. It seems they still haven't fixed this issue
@Ferizon i have the same problem on inspiron 5570 with bios version 1.14 i will take the risk downgrading to 1.1.8 with no battery inserted (battery is at 0 health so i unplugged it) radeon 530 (high performance) crashes games without even running it. it crashes on a black loading screen without showing anything so i will downgrade it using a flash memory but you should disable automatic bios upgrade in bios i think to avoid auto updating
