Do you flash your bios or not? drop us a LIKE 👍
Nooo i think its risky🙂🙂
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
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
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
@@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.
Worked a charm. Was a tense process but everything went smoothly. Thank you for your help.
Loved you slow paced talk during the explanation, it's really good for the less experienced tinkers 👍
Glad you liked it!
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.
i bet they read your mind so they recommended it🤯
Truly wonderful video. Love your slow speech cadence, and I've learned about the reason why the flash button exists.
Thats is the first thing I did on a build after doing the cardboard test on a new motherboard. Where I worked the engineer would revise/modify the new BIOS before being installed in the case. I miss building systems, it was fun work.
Thanks bro! Really well done, nice slow easy to follow tutorial. Went flawless for the install.
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”
nice work thank you very much, very short and easy to follow.
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.
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.
... the what?
@@Just.A.Bottle.Of.Milk- the manufacturer. Just click read more
nobody will understand this
@@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
@@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?
I'll be honest, one thing I've never done to date is updated my bios, simply because 100% every time I've bought a board brand new with the original bios version that specific unit was supplied with, it's always worked pretty well, but never to date have I ever purchased a board with an advertised "updated" bios that has not had a lot of problems.
Could just be my luck, but you can see why I'm scared away from updating the bios if the current version I have suits my needs, haha
Thank you for the video, helped me upgrade my cpu very helpful video 👍👍👍👍
This video was made for me. Exact same motherboard, exact same stutter issue. Hopefully this fixes it. Thanks for the video.
Me too lol
Can you do a piece about Memory Integrity and whether it should be enabled in W10 and what are the pros and cons in relation to such protection programmes as Malwarebytes etc 😀. In W11 it appears to be on automatically. Thanks
This helped, thank you
Thank you!!
Thankyou so much bro
thank you!
Thank you so much
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.
Thank you Very Much
Exellent demo sir,thanku
You're welcome
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
Ty
Hi there, how are you ?
Did you notice any difference after the bios upgrade ? In your pc performance
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.
I have a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master. The bios is up to date. There was an important security update with one of the recent bios updates so that's the last one I did. B550 Aorus Master is such a weird mobo! It has 3 PCI-e gen4 m.2 slots! Direct to processor too. It steals bandwidth from the graphics slot which will revert to 8x (gen 4) when you have more than one m.2 drive plugged in.
It's getting so that most Bios updates are now done through our computer makers preinstalled support assistant!
Thanks, beginning to follow your advices and have seen a bunch of you videos as I am trying to learn the basics.
But I still have a few problems and hope you can help. I have an older HP Compaq 6000 Pro Small Form Factor PC (ENERGY STAR) that I use as second desktop that seems to have issues and I am trying to put it into working shape. Have a new hard drive for it coming but I think (not very experienced at this) the BIOS has been screwed up. I can't load windows update so I'm replacing the HDD. Saw you video about updating the BIOS but when I downloaded the HP BIOS from HP, it was in .EXT and when I tried to update, message came back saying approx "exe files not supported". Any help would be appreciated, and thanks again.
my HP laptop had a bios/firmware update recently but that came through windows updates, can other boards have those kinda updates too? like through optional windows updates
Hey, pls name for monitor hardware app on your right on screen? Tnx
good information thanks
Welcome
What program is that window in the top right corner of the screen with all the system info?
Another Gem!
Cheers Graham
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.
if you didn't update bios regularly, does the new file contains all the previous improvements or not?
on your desktop, that little geforce widget displaying system information like temperature, what is it called? where do i download this widget?
Thanks in advance
do i have to download all the other download able updates as well or just the most recent?
Cpuz a great software,update BIOS is an important task that you must do with carefull, thanks to this video makes It easier.
Just got a ryzen 5 5500 and will upgrade again soon but was wondering about tbe bios update do I download the newest one ? or a specific one? I have a aorus ultra gaming x470 mobo
I'm sweating balls right now
I have question so my cpu has been getting hot recently but I increased all of my fan speeds. Any fix you think may work
I have never done this before, have desktop from 2009 with issues of not finding drivers of things plugged in. I did not see what you selected from the CPUZ page that started it to "fire up". Also will this wipe out what is on harddrive?
If there are bios that are windows 11 supported but i have not upgraded to windows 11, i should probably avoid them correct? maybe just update to the bios older than that bio
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. One day, I do plan to build a newer system and the board I have in mind is the Pro version of yours, so this video will come in handy whenever I get round to all the upgrades. Cheers for sharing.
You're welcome
It's Work, Thank you
Welcome
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?
I flashed my bios last week. :)
Nice!
I literally can't update my BIOS. I don't need to, but if I ever needed to, I won't be able to do so. I bought a prebuilt and the company for some reason renamed the BIOS so that if I use a BIOS flash or any sort of software it will brick it. I have a chance to do it in some way I read, but it's the same, has a chance to brick it. Lame.
BIOS Flashback is also useful if you brick a computer because of a bad BIOS Flash although it's not 100% it does work the vast majority of the time. Personally I have a UPS so I don't have to worry about a power outage during a BIOS update. Last time I had a problem it was either a 486DX-100 or a 1st gen Pentium back when they still used socketed EPROMs so I was able to just pull the chip and program it in a dedicated EPROM flasher. With the right tools you can reprogram a SMT EPROM in situ but it's not something the average person can do and the tools will cost you as much as a new motherboard so it's generally not cost effective unless you already have the tools.
If you are building your own systems you really need to update the BIOS because if you buy this same MB (I have the exact same one but without WiFi} today it's likely going to have the 1005 BIOS on it .... I'm surprised you didn't have USB problems which plagued a lot of X570 motherboards with the older BIOSes
Some motherboard BIOS have options to recover, but these are normally more expensive boards. Dual BIOS as well
Dear friend could you tell me how to format a flash drive that is write protected? thanks.
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.
I have one question. If I download the latest BIOS update will it have all the update features all the other updates I didn’t download?
Im a bit confused, at first i was only going to upgrade my gpu, and everything i seen online says that you should update bios (6700xt gpu with msi x470 gaming plus). I then ordered a new cpu (ryzen 9 5900x) and its saying that you absolutely have to flash bios for this. So do i only need the bios version for my new cpu? I built my whole pc from scratch 4 years ago with 0 issues and im really not trying to brick my pc woth this upgrade.
Thanks for the shoutout again.
Good video as always, time for me to replicate this word for word.... haha
You crack on mate lol
@@Britec09 I'm sure I'm already on latest BIOS on my main system, but not sure about the one you built for us. Bought a new drive today for that so will check the bios when I gonto install that drive
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
Well, this was unexpected. My BIOS was 5 updates behind. I updated it in released order. All went well. This morning I was offered to update the PC to Win11 22H2! This PC is NOT Win compatible. I do have Preview release turned on. Thoughts?
Hi, does the usb stick need to be formatted to fat32?, can I use ex fat?
This another great video help those have not had experience flashing bios. while good idea update bios on pc you are right saying stay away from Betas. (I do). Bios updates good idea since keep PC Components running smoother and fix lot issues. Awesome helpful video
Where can i get bias update as my computer is old and HP do not have updates for it any more. I can not boot from the memory stick as my bias is mot giving it to me in f9. As the hard drive was formatted. It is a HP compaq nx7400 laptop. Please.
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
Could I use a external hard drive instead of a usb flash drive?
More on TPM pro-cons. My specific concerns are applications still working (without lots of re-tweaking and data recoverability). A necessity for 5xxx amd tho.
I can do that
@@Britec09 Ty
Can I remove the flash drive after the bios update has been completed and I’ve booted into windows?
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."
for some reason when i open the download i have more then 2 files and i don't know which ones to copy and paste
do i need a new drive? or can i put it with my operation system??
Windows defender device security's firmware protection greyed out with secure boot enabled in UEFI -Do a video to fix it .real time protection is on and core isolation too .
Imagine the power going out during the update bios process 😂
I did like you said but when i updated my bios said reset and my pc turned off and its not working it idk what happened
does flashing bios require internet connection while its flashing?
Would be really useful if you did a vid on GPU updating bios/firmware
I think I might of done that, I will check and if not, i will do it
Thank you it was easy 😂 still scary but easy
Do you need an USB or can I just put it in my hdd d drive?
On mine, i had to flash a beta version as Gigabyte just isn't updating the B660 bios. Ridiculous it's a brand new board and CPU.
Omg i flashed my bios from 0707 to 2601 😆
I would say an update was needed.
How long does the bios flash last cos my screens been black and my fans are all still spinning
I assume you were playing games for evaluation purposes only. Thanks Brian - I remember those days when you flashed your bios from a booted floppy disk. You sat there with your fingers crossed, looking away with winced eyes, and feeling the anxiety in your chest. And they say "those were the days" !
Funny you say that but I was thinking the same when I was watching this video. 🙂
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.
How to repair no detection on laptops desktop HDD with clicking noises..?
Please guide both ways via softwares n chip level hdd fix.
Regards from India.
So my pc was working great but i stopped using it for about 3 months and when i finally turned it back it started crashing and going into bios and it was saying my ssd was not detected so i changed the cmos battery and nothing happened i put my ssd on another slot and now it just keeps on crashing and takes me to the log in screen and doesn’t take me to bios no more but it just keeps on crashing
Well Brian I am very wary of flashing the BIOS especially on a main machine and as luck would have it I currently have the current BIOS dated 2013!! The method I last used was flashing from a USB and it had me on the edge of my seat whil the process was going through. I just wish that it could be done via the BIOS itself somehow.
it does that's why it says via internet
@@billybobs1705 Ok got that.
this could have been a lot shorter but thank you
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
Thanks for sharing
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
also, glad i could help
@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
Brian, when I turn on my power strip my PC automatically goes on. Is that a bios related problem?
I’m gonna try this as my RTX 3060 gaming laptop with 16gb ram and 144hz monitor has been having issues. It cannot seem to play games like Fortnite with direct 11 graphics even on the lowest setting because it stutters, freezes and in general effects my ability to play the game because I drop about 71 frames and I have tried many things to optimise this
I have a pc that i built last year around June. Since then most AAA or high end games like cyber punk or the new helldiver keeps crashing after a couple of minutes of playing. I've tried deleting the GPU and reinstalling it but that didn't work. I'm not much of a computer genius and I'm not sure if updating the bios will help with this problem. Can anyone help?
Is there MSI software? I am having a bear of a time my motherboard is American trends I have the model number and I went to the website it's a Military 4 last updated in 2014 there is no listing for my series or board there, Windows 11 says the TPM can be updated to 2.0 I can't find it in the settings I thought if I updated it I would be able to find it, it's not in the advanced section I didn't see a header either to get a chip, AGGG frustrating!! I do fear bricking the board, it's not new and I don't think it has a rollback some of them do
Thanks. I wish you would cover more topics, but hey, you only go so much time, resources and a life too.
What sort of topics?
@@Britec09 This is just one example. But some of us (for gaming purposes) prefer a one-handed keyboard, but they generally just duplicate the left hand side of a keyboard with staggered keys! Does anyone develop a one-handed key board without staggered keys and an assortment of iconic keys to place as you choose?
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.
I only update the BIOS IF it's for security
One of my Windows 10 machines is g" during the boot up process
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
My motherboard company (Foxin) don't have a webpage with bios firmwares.
Bro i wanna download windows 10 i have nice spec and meet its requirement but while installing windows 10 it says this pc cant run windows 10 , so should i update my bios😅
I thought the Flash BIOS button was if you screwed up the normal method (bower off etc as stated) and it was corrupted!?
cant find the site to download update
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.
I can’t press F1 to run setup like in 9:29 , how do I fix that?
