The interaction of the components of the system unit is carried out by a special BIOS program, in which the operating parameters of all computer devices are prescribed. Its update allows expanding functionality, fixing system errors made by the manufacturer, and adding support for new components in the system that did not exist at the time the motherboard was released.
Necessary
boot floppy disk, image can be freely downloaded on the Internet, BIOS and flasher program
Instructions
Step 1
Conscientious manufacturers constantly modify firmware for their products and post them in the appropriate section on the official website of the company. To update, you need to know exactly the manufacturer and model of the motherboard, such information can be found in the instructions supplied in the kit.
Step 2
Let's move on to the firmware process itself, it won't take much time. It should be remembered that if the BIOS parameters have been changed, it is worthwhile to transfer them to the factory values for this in the main menu of the program, press the F7 button or select the Load Optimized Defaults parameter.
Step 3
All modern manufacturers supply utilities bundled with their boards that allow updating directly from the operating system, which greatly facilitates the process.
Step 4
Also in the BIOS itself, in some cases, an update module is built-in, which allows you to read the necessary files from a hard disk or flash drive.
Step 5
For boards without such features, there is an alternative upgrade method. To do this, you will need: a boot floppy disk, an image can be freely downloaded on the Internet, you just need to enter the appropriate query in the search engine, the BIOS itself and the flasher program. You write everything to a floppy disk, there should not be other files there and restart the computer, after flashing the computer, the computer will restart again, you need to remove the floppy disk and enjoy the result.
