Appropriate Flash BIOS Upgrade |
Computer manufacturers typically tailor or modify their BIOS to provide special capabilities. The original manufacturer of the BIOS does not have these modifications, and thus an upgrade from them could disable key functions on your system or make it inoperable.
Be advised that the important issue is to get the BIOS update from the manufacturer of your computer unless they explicitly recommend you go to the BIOS manufacturer for the fix. Done improperly, it may render the motherboard useless requiring, at minimum, a return to the manufacturer or distributor for repair.
