A computer’s BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is a firmware program flashed onto an EEPROM chip on the computer’s motherboard. This program dictates how the motherboard communicates between all hardware devices, and initializes them from the inactive state. Updating this program allows for greater efficiency in computing and a larger range of compatibility with hardware devices as they are released. ASUS computers provide a program called CrashFree BIOS to recover from failed BIOS-updating attempts. Writer Bio
