Update Your PC BIOS On Any Motherboard

[@Britec09]

Do you flash your bios or not? drop us a LIKE 👍

[@krishnakantaacharjya5558]

Nooo i think its risky🙂🙂

[@mihaipetrescu7231]

I do. Sadly, quite every time a version is released because on my specific HP PC, HP fixes A LOT, but A LOT of security vulnerabilities, some of them even being severe in some cases. yes, i know, i shouldnt do that every time, but since security vulnerabilities are fixed, like a lot, well, I consider in this case that the BIOS updates specifically for me need to be done

[@mihaipetrescu7231]

and in any case, i am very careful with updating the bios, i take all the necessary measures to prevent my PC from becoming bricked, and so far, i got no issues

[@mihaipetrescu7231]

for those who see what i said here, dont update ur bios like i do every time unless there are serious issues that are fixed and affect u. i repeat, i am doing it for a very good reason cus i wanna keep myself secure, otherwise i would avoid the updates

[@phanikumarvempati]

@@krishnakantaacharjya5558 If you feel that update is really needed, you can download it and update manually. Keeping an inverter for pc is compulsory because it should not be turned off while updating abruptly with power failure. Though you don't need every bios update sometimes it will increase the speed of pc and graphics too.

[@strayzilla]

Thank you. I was afraid of bricking my motherboard so I kept putting this off. And then this video came up in my suggested feed. Worked like a charm. Thank you again.

[@C.L.A.S.Airsoft]

i bet they read your mind so they recommended it🤯

[@MarkusMaal]

A tip for anyone trying to do this : make sure to look up recovery methods for your specific motherboard before flashing, in case you do end up with a bricked system. Not all, but many motherboards either have a backup ROM of the original factory BIOS (this is also known as the DualBIOS) or allow you to retry the flashing from a USB drive using a recovery utility or some other method. Even if you have DualBIOS, make sure you know how to activate it in case things do go wrong (some boards auto reflash if the checksum is incorrect, others require either pressing a button combination or flicking a switch on the actual motherboard). If all of this fails, you can manually reprogram your BIOS chip or send the motherboard back to the manufacturer.

[@MarkusMaal]

@@zErr0rx tl;dr check if there are ways to recover the BIOS after a failed update, if not send the MB back to the manufacturer should the update fail

[@zErr0rx]

@@MarkusMaal it says something about tpm after i updated my bios when i turn on my pc i always press on N should i press on Y without a recovery point?

[@lolbit9288]

For anyone that is having problems make sure you are getting the correct bios for the right model of motherboard, I was trying to get it for “A320m-HDV” instead of “A320m-HDV R4.0”

[@advanced8526]

Agesa updates are great and beta sometimes is the only way if one know what there doing and needs the performance gains NOW. bios flashback is easy on most modern boards. It's becoming more and more user friendly and easy.

I almost just bricked my pc 😅 my pc finished flashing the new bios and it didn’t turn on the screen or anything related after that. I turned it off and took off a ram stick and it turned on at least lol the vid was super helpful and I’d probably be screwed if it wasn’t for the drive

[@celery4564]

09:35 Funnily enough on an older PC of mine which had an Asus Z170 Pro gaming motherboard I ended up with a bricked motherboard using the EZ-Flash utility. This being the only timed I've ever tried to update the bios before my current PC. My current system is running on a Asus Rog Strix Z590-F Gaming and I've updated the bios twice using the bios flashback button and had no issues.

[@itsAuffy]

so in other words i have to have a flash usb drive to continue at 5:36 ??

[@banana0281]

Yes, you need a flash USB formatted to FAT32 in order to continue with bios updates.

[@breakingthe4thwall260]

It's getting so that most Bios updates are now done through our computer makers preinstalled support assistant!

[@mihaipetrescu7231]

Also, another moment when u need to update the BIOS is when a new version of Windows is released, like Windows 11, bcs in this case, manufacturers send bios updates to make ur motherboard be ready for Windows 11 and fully support it. thats what i did when Windows 11 got released too. That should be done to make sure that whenever u want to move on to the next version of Windows, u are fully supported and u wont go into issues. I mean, u still can run into issues if u go to a new version of Windows, bcs yeah, thats the life, but it lowers the chances of this with a bit

[@Britec09]

Thanks for sharing

[@mihaipetrescu7231]

There's one more thing to mention. This should also be done whenever u have (need, obligation) to go to a new version of windows, for example when u have to do it due to the fact that the current version of windows will run out of support

[@mihaipetrescu7231]

also, glad i could help

[@mihaipetrescu7231]

@not tellin idk here rlly as im not a linux user. Probably the same thing, bcs manufacturers surely release bios that have compatibility with linux, im not sure

[@zacpeters1985]

I tend to update the bios anyway if I ever want to upgrade my CPU won’t run in the any problems my pc not posting due to not updating bios

[@DOLRED]

I thought all prior update versions are incorporated into the newest update? This meaning you do not need to install anything but the latest update shown?

[@ruthcormack1765]

Think I remember years ago BIOS chips were in QFPs in sockets and you could fairly easily obtain replacements or prog them with the right gear offboard. Not sure why they made BIOS chips physically hard to get. Also maybe Laptop BIOS upgrades are safer due to battery backup? Not sure on this cuz I've never burned a laptop BIOS during a power cut.

[@bizzhat]

Question: at 9:22 you mentioned the PC doing a bunch of restarts; > should the computer have boot loop issues, would these restarts kill the update? --thanx

[@talon1706]

Most manufacturers don't list all the fixes in the new bios releases. Just the major ones. If you have issues, then update. I have learned " If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

[@yxra123]

Hello sir, I have a b365 hd3 gigabyte motherboard and I was wondering which version I should upgrade or maybe even downgrade to? I have version f3 but there are f1, f4d, and f5. I know it has a risk and I was wondering if it somehow breaks and I lose power will the dual bios fix that issue so I don't have a bricked motherboard? If yes how would I be able to use the dual bio? to fix my pc if anything does go wrong. Thanks

Great video. My question is I have a hp bs15234 with windows 10. I upgraded it to windows 11. Hp website said I have a new bios update listed but it only gives me an operator system of windows 10. Can I still use that and upgrade my bios.

[@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde]

Is updating the BIOS useful for a high cpu and memory usage during Windows 11 start up? I updated the intel driver but did not update the BIOS motherboard. So this maybe why my laptop is heating up during Windows 11 Desktop startup.

My motherboard is pretty old now, there are BIOS updates listed on the manufacturer site, but, they don't recommend them for Pinnacle Ridge processors, which is what I currently have.

Ever since I flashed my BIOS, I can't run a restart, as it won't post. I can shut it down and it starts again perfectly, but if I tell it to restart, it seems to work to the point the screen shuts off but then it just sits there doing nothing until I press and hold the power button to shut it down. Now the problem is I can't flash a new BIOS as once I tell it the file and it verifies the file, it wants to do a restart before starting the flashing process...but it never gets started as it can't do a restart.

Good morning, sorry to bother you, but I have seen that you are an electronics specialist and I was wondering if you could give me some solution. I have a Sindoh 3D 3DWOX 3D printer and when I inserted a USB flash drive to update the firmware, there was a power outage. Now only the Sindoh presentation screen is displayed and the image is frozen there. I have disconnected the printer from the power and even removed the internal battery from the motherboard but it remains the same. There is no way it does anything. It has been left frozen. I'm afraid the firmware has become corrupt. I have observed that the motherboard has some jumpers, I don't know if any of them have any use. Can you help me please? Any suggestions to force flashing the firmware? How can I find out which chip on the printer's motherboard is the EEPROM? Thank you very much in advance.

Years ago when I had a 56 Mhz CPU (intel) and 8 Megs of RAM.. (back in the early 1990's) updating the BIOS was easy, copy the 'file' to a floppy disk, reboot, run the file from the floppy.. done.. now I have a better (is it really?) system AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor 3.90 GHz and 64 Gigs of RAM, no floppy.. no CD rom drive either.. So, how would I update now? Thanks and my MB is a X570 Aorus.. and the BIOS had to be updated like 10 or 11 version's just to run Windows 10 Pro because when i would shut down my system only to have it restart and not shut down.

OH YEAH, one more thing. be careful with the BIOS updates, because Windows Update started to send updates to computers too. On mine, thats what happens. But i do the bios updates early through my HP support assistant, and when they come in Windows Update, it will update only my driver. why does it do that? Well, it seems like Windows Update became smart and it detects that the BIOS is already to the new version, and in this case, it only updates the driver to match the BIOS, without needing me to restart my computer, which is pretty good. If my BIOS wouldnt be updated earlier, then keep in mind that Windows Update will also initiate the BIOS update, prompting ur computer to be restarted, alongside with updating its driver

Updating your BIOS, Graphics driver, and other system drivers should ALWAYS be done and kept up-to-date! OLD BIOS or drivers can cause ALL kinds of problems from game, program, Windows crashes!

"Don't fix it if it's not broken."
