I had to recently update. Went without a hiccup.

Depending on your motherboard you'll have to find the specified way to do it. There are too many different ways with the new hardware.

Actually it is broken(somewhat). I need to update my BIOS as my CPU(AMD FX 8120 8 core 3.10GHz) is unsupported with certain games and updating BIOS tends to fix it.

Don't you have a usb port on your computer?
Or a CD drive?

Just use the DOS flash utility with either.


If the manufacturer only provides bios updates that execute from windows, then use them. I don't recommend surfing the internet at the same time, or playing games when you do it; It will work fine.
