i'll have to keep digging.thanx for the responses. The eSupport deal might be the safest approach as they offer tech support and their program offers a bios backup utility that is supposed to be rather simple.just can't afford the 69.95 right now. I'm on a micro star ms-6701 motherboard (medion oem).and can't decipher their site to be confident of any upgrades they might offer. Thanx.the reason i'm trying to upgrade is the latest plug and play support(2.1) is needed to update my sound drivers.this all started when i installed a sony dvd-cd rw.the updated sound driver needs the 2.1 bios support. I understand that some of the newer mobo's have some 'safety' features in case the bios flash procedure fails - but likely you don't have that kind.Īnyway, again, check the web-site for the mobo maker - i doubt you want or need to pay for an update. You are having that problem) it's best to leave the bios as-is. The better mobo maker's have FREE bios updates - along with the info on what problems have been fixed.ītw - i run a mobo that's about 5 year old now and have never updated the bios - but i have the program and update file(s) just in case.Īs noted, unless you KNOW that a bios update will fix a particular problem (AND Did you check to see if the mobo maker has a bios upgrade?
