Updating, or flashing, your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is among the most feared maintenance you can perform on your computer. The BIOS is a small chip on which all your system’s basic information is stored. This includes information about your keyboard controls, date and time information, and programming that lets the computer communicate with its processor. A BIOS update is usually performed by experienced computer repair technicians when a laptop’s motherboard, or hardware is behaving erratically. If done incorrectly, a BIOS update can cause the hardware connected to your motherboard to stop working. Writer Bio
