Hi, I have an Asus a42jv. For some certain circumstances, I think I need to update my bios. How exactly do I do that?

Can tell the circumstances?
You can flash it via Winflash or from BIOS. I prefer the BIOS.
Download the BIOS file from Asus website, then extract it to the C:\
Restart notebook, enter the BIOS, look for option Winflash or something with Flash,
from there you can browse to C:\, find the BIOS file you extracted.
Then start flashing.

Remember to plugin the battery and don't pull out the power adapter during flashing, and check its the correct BIOS file.

Laptop seems to be doing badly with the new nvidia drivers and updates of windows. Plus, it seems to have a fan problem. Which probably leads to the bios thing.

I've heard that winflash is a dangerous way of flashing bios, and the last time I tried it, Windows flashed a BSOD stopping winflash from updating the bios.

EDIT: Also, my computer's CPU tends to range between 70-95 percent, when there's nothing on. Occaisionally I get the Driver Power State Failure BSOD.

Hi guys, I have this a42jv that supposedly can play sc2 on ultra. But I can't even reach 40 fps on medium. Why is this?
