IMPORTANT: The BIOS chip on your motherboard can only be updated through a flash procedure which re-writes/flashes the BIOS with updated information. It is critical to read and understand these directions before attempting to update your BIOS. Failure to follow to these instructions may render your system inoperable and/or damage your system. It is recommended that you do not flash your BIOS unless the update specifically addresses your issue.
