What could happen if you flash your bio?
Nothing if it goes correctly, other than hopefully installing a newer BIOS version. A newer BIOS version may fix problems you are having with your system or allow you to use newer components. If your system takes a long time to POST after you change the video card, a floppy drive doesn't work, the system locks up frequently, or it won't boot after upgrading the CPU or RAM, then a newer BIOS version might help. Support for CPUs and RAM are in the BIOS, and if you install such critical devices that the BIOS doesn't recognize, unpredictable results can occur. In a number of cases, the BIOS improves system stability. Some BIOS versions contain timing glitches that make the system unstable, and some CPUs have buggy instructions. So a newer BIOS can fix timing loops and patch CPU microcodes for specific models and steppings (revisions) of CPU chips. If something goes wrong, you will have to buy a new BIOS chip or a new motherboard. So it is best to figure out what version of BIOS you have first. Then you should check to see what newer versions are available and what the change logs for them say. If you notice a specific problem or inconvenience is addressed on the list of changes, then you have a good reason to flash the BIOS. However, if you are not experiencing issues that claim to be addressed and are not going to upgrade to newly supported hardware on the list, then there is no reason to flash the BIOS.

What will happen if bios is deffective?
If something is wrong with a computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), then odds are pretty good that the computer won't even boot. Typically, if it's not too terribly damaged, you'll at least get a "beep code" - that is, your computer will make a pattern of annoying beeps, which if you look up that model's beep codes, will translate into an error message. If you can find a way to do so with a corrupted BIOS, you can flash (that is, update or replace) the BIOS in hopes of recovery. Worst case scenario you will have to replace a part.
How do you reset BIOS?
This information is intended for experienced users. It is not intended for basic users, hackers, or computer thieves. Please do not try any of following procedures if you are not familiar with computer hardware. I'll not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including personal injury, loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk. A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper: In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method. Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc. When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin. Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper. B. By Using Software: I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.: BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool Service
