Follow these steps.I hope this help.
Step 1: Identify your current BIOS version.
The easiest way to find your BIOS version is to open up the System Information app in Windows--just type msinfo32 into the search bar (for Windows 7/Vista) or the Run box (XP), and click System Summary; your BIOS version should now show up on the right under your processor speed. Record your version number (and the date that appears afterwards, if applicable).
Step 2: Check your PC/motherboard manufacturer's Website for BIOS updates.
Most PC manufacturers handle BIOS updates based on your specific line and model, so head over to your manufacturer's support page and check its listings for your PC, because if you download and install a BIOS intended for a different model, your PC probably won't work (although most BIOS updaters are smart enough to notice if you try to install them on the wrong hardware). If there is a BIOS update file available, grab it--along with any documentation it comes with, because often warnings and specific instructions are contained in the Read Me docs.
Those of you who assembled your PC yourself will need to look for BIOS updates from your motherboard manufacturer's Website. If you don't remember your motherboard's model number, you can look it up without opening up the case by downloading and running CPU-Z and clicking on the Mainboard tab.
Step 3: Read the included documentation.
The BIOS updater's Read Me file will most likely include a list of fixes and new functions, often to support new hardware. Updating the BIOS for my Lenovo Thinkpad T500, for example, added support for a new AC adapter and a 1600-by-900-pixel screen resolution on an external monitor; the update also fixed fan speed and Webcam issues that could not have been handled by updating Windows or my specific device driver software.
More important, however, were these notes in the Read Me file: If I was running Vista on my T500, I'd need to make sure that I had a certain patch installed; and if my T500 had a certain graphics card, I would need to update its drivers above a certain version before updating my BIOS. Read and reread your docs, or you might make your PC unable to boot without even knowing why.
Step 4: Update your BIOS.
Most newer PCs have a fairly easy BIOS update procedure: Just download the .exe file from your PC manufacturer's Website, quit all open programs, run the .exe, and let it handle the patch; then reboot. If your PC suddenly shuts down in the middle of the BIOS update, you won't be able to boot up, so make sure you're not running off a laptop battery. Ideally, you're plugged into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), especially if you're in an area prone to blackouts.
I currently am running on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo li 2727 and i want to find out how i update the bios on my laptop.
To update BIOS settings on a Compaq Presario V3000, you will first need to download the latest BIOS update from the official Compaq website. Ensure your laptop is connected to a power source throughout the update process to prevent any interruptions. Follow the specific instructions provided with the BIOS update file to successfully update the BIOS settings on your Compaq Presario V3000. Remember to proceed with caution, as updating the BIOS incorrectly can potentially harm your laptop.
I would have to say that you would need the updater software and the actual BIOS update (firmware)
We can't format bios.it is permanent program.we can flash the bios by upgrading bios update....By ---Rajesh Arthimalla.
Of course not
tayfun
that happeds eaither when you update a Bios that you allready have or sometimes its not a full version update for exaple you may be a A06 version but the update was a A06.2 it will only display the A06
A04
It depends on type of the system. Some support update direcly from OS with following reboot and automatic update of the system. Other type is updated through BIOS dialog. And the last type is updated from bootable media.
Press "Del" & Enter into "BIOS", Update the date & /or Time of the "BIOS" & save it by F10, Say "Y" to confirm after your update.
Hi there,here is what I can do for you.Wish for help. Perform the update. Run the downloaded installer or application executable for the BIOS updating software. If the software prompts you for a floppy, use a formatted 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk. It doesn't matter if the floppy is blank or not because the data will be overwritten if you don't mind wiping the disk. 1. If using a floppy, insert it into the drive and restart the system to boot from it. Some floppy images contain an "autoexec.bat" file to automatically run the BIOS update. Others will just have the update software, the updated BIOS image, and possibly a 'readme' text file containing directions. If there are no directions, but there are at least two files (ie: "A06_123.bin" and "awflash.exe"), follow this example: Enter a command such as "awflash A06_123.bin" and press enter. This will execute the update software and specify the A06_123.bin file to flash the BIOS. 2. Compare the two versions. Most BIOS update software will read the existing BIOS image and determine its version, then compare this to the downloaded BIOS image. If the system's existing BIOS version is older, perform the update. The user interface of BIOS software may vary greatly, yet typically menu buttons or selections such as "Write", "Update", or "Confirm" will perform the BIOS update. Save
You can flash the BIOS. I wouldn't recommend it, as it won't give much of an improvement UNLESS you're experiencing BSOD, crashing, etc. If this is the case you can go to your motherboard manufacturers website and they should have a BIOS update you can d/l.
