FLASHING THE BIOS

Go to the manufacturer's site for details, which vary depending on the system. The general rule is to flash the BIOS based upon release by manufacturer. The general steps are:
Down BIOS flash software.
Boot system with bootable disk and BIOS flash software.
Follow instructions on screen.
Remove disk.
Re-boot system and continue processing.

When to FLASH the BIOS on a PC:

ONLY when directed to do so by the manufactures tech support.
Or, when an update specifically corrects a problem that you have with the PC.

How to FLASH the BIOS:
1. ONLY download BIOS code from the system or motherboard manufacture and ONLY the specific BIOS file for your system.
There are 3rd party BIOS suppliers that charge a fee for a new BIOS. These sites are also safe.

2. The download page should include instructions. Alternately, the file may have a readme file in the archive.

Make sure that the PC has stable power for the time of the BIOS FLASH. If power is apt to cut out, use a UPS or wait for a better time.
