    Additional details and recommendations:
    The danger of updating your BIOS is that if the process is interrupted, for example, with a power outage, it will render the entire motherboard unusable. The only way to fix a corrupted BIOS is to remove the BIOS physical chip and solder a new one.
    Tips: There is nothing intrinsically wrong with updating your BIOS. Don't be afraid to do it. At times, it's actually necessary. But it's a good idea to have a failsafe in place. I recommend using a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)/backup battery to allow the process to finish even if you have a power outage.

    • @DRedGuia
      @DRedGuia 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      No, you can buy a programmer for 5 bucks and burn new bios directly to the chip

    • @gagarin777
      @gagarin777 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Not really. There are fail safes in place. BIOS'es are modular and the init part usually is not touched during flashing. If an issue occurs you will get a screen saying BIOS checksum ERROR and to provide a media with the BIOS file to reflash. Now the tricky part is that some really old platform require the floppy disc or will read USB device but only in special file format that never is stated anywhere (for me I discovered that only old SD card formatted in DVB-T tuner works the magic). BIOS file also has to be specially named for this recovery to work (like bios.bin) for example but it depends on the BIOS chip manufacturer. Then you also have mobo's with dual or even triple BIOS and BIOS selector switches.

    On newer motherboards, I mean like past 2016, you can download and install latest version of bios from the bios. No need to google your motherboard, just go to the bios, go to update, click Update via internet, and if you have ethernet cable plugged in, it will download latest bios, and update automatically.

    Just updated my bios. An ssd I had would stop being seen randomly while useing my computer. This kicked me out of games I was playing that were running on the ssd. A restart would fix this temporarily, but i eventually had enough and updated the bios. When it booted into windows after the update the power button didn’t work. I proceeded to have a mini panic attack thinking I broke the mother board during the update somehow. But thank the lord it went back to normal eventually. Crossing my fingers hoping that the ssd works now.

HOWEVER the Optiplex-MB can be updated with a simple Download from Dell website while the high end Rog Strix motherboard needs a USB-Stick with correctly installed files on it in the correct usb-slot of the mb. It is so overcomplicated even though it's a high end mb.

      Im so sick of ppl saying this garbage. This isn't true. Bios updates often bring rly good quality changes over time to help efficiency, lifespan of the board, heat, and more. If you've been running a pc for a year or 2 and never updated your bios, you're almost ALWAYS going to see some type of benefit in doing so and the risk of bricking your system is almost 0 outside user error. This bullshit started a while back because you had youtubers all scared to tell ppl to update their stuff out of w.e perceived liability they may have, hence Zachs disclaimer.
      I honestly can't think of a reason NOT to update your bios unless the update brings literally nothing to your system at all, like processor support or something that doesn't pertain to your parts.

      glad to know I’m not the only experiencing PC troubles.
      I reseated my RAM because my PC was acting up by BSODing and freezing, but when I turned on my PC, smoke came out from the RAM slots. And the worst part was this was a 7600X with 32GB of DDR5 RAM

    Ideally you should update you BIOS at noon on a clear day, alone with the door locked, and with absolute certainty that neither your internet or your power is going to be shutoff for any reason.

    Even though it’s dangerous, windows 11 always FORCES a BIOS/UEFI update, (technically, if you disable the “firmware” in the device manager windows can’t update it) but if you have a battery (for power surges or you’re using a laptop or other handheld) you shouldn’t worry as much, just worry about random malfunctions that cause your PC to power off
