Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time to do it. But of course you don' like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and t then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS. The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare. Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work?
