Is updating BIOS easy? I never do it before.Last time I heard updating BIOS is very dangerous. If suddenly no electricity and BIOS update half way, the whole system spoil?
Please advice. Tq.

If suddenly no electricity and BIOS update half way, the whole system spoil? Please advice. Tq. cannot be revive, cannot be repaired. so i advise to take some times before updating your BIOS. google the review of new BIOS if there is anything wrong with it. if there is seems no problem, just go ahead and update your BIOS QUOTE(cy-yang @ Feb 26 2010, 11:58 AM) honestly i already forgotten that matter yours already arrive?! no unboxing moment captured? |
