Bios flashing

[GreatSeaSpider]

Hi all,

I've recently got a nice new graphics card and my motherboard is er, disagreeing with it shall we say. The card's manufacturer have recomended a bios flash to fix the problem, my question is how do i go about this?

i have been looking round the internet for ages and only found old information about bios flashing.

could somebody point me in the right direction?

thanks,

Pete

You need to go to the site of your motherboard maker.
There, you should find the latest BIOS version for your mobo model, and download it.
From there, generally all BIOS downloads ask you to create a diskette, which means you put a blank floppy in the drive, launch the BIOS update file and let it write the disk. When done, you need to reboot on the floppy.
At that point, the floppy will take over and ask a few or one question : Start update (or something equivalent). Take care to not touch the PC while the process in running, and pray for no blackout either, else your BIOS be destroyed without hope by a failed update.
When done, your PC should reboot and you'll find out if it was worth it or not.
