Flashing the Bios

[Happydude]

well, there are programs that do it automatically for you. can't remember any names off the top of my head.

but the risk is that if anything goes wrong while the bios are being updated, say the computer restarts or shuts off for some reason, you're pretty much screwed then. you would have to buy a new Motherboard, unless you physically reboot the bios, but that requires a special device which i don't think they sell in stores.
