How can I update BIOS?
The procedure for updating BIOS is different for EPROM and Flash ROM chips. Please refer to the following explanation. If you have an EPROM BIOS chip, it will have a small glass window on the top which is covered by a BIOS label. The internal components of the EPROM chip must undergo exposure by ultraviolet light (visible light is not suitable for this purpose, so an ultraviolet bulb must be used) via the glass window in order to clear it's BIOS content. After exposure, a special tool called EPROM writer is used to install the new BIOS to the cleared chip. At this point the updated chip is ready for use on the main board. To prevent the chip from undergoing unpredictable problems, perform a CMOS discharge before turning the computer on. End-users typically will not have access to the EPROM writer, thus upgrading bios usually involves receiving assistance from your dealer or manufacturer. If you have a Flash ROM BIOS chip, there will be no glass window on the top of the chip and you do not need to use the EPROM writer to install the new BIOS. All you need is access to manufacturer's web site. Download the Award Flash Utility and the relative version of BIOS for your main board. Then, proceed according to the following FA
