 When to flash bios? Hello all, I just finished building a new system. Now do I flash the bios before or afer windows has been installed? I've never flashed bios before, so any tips would be appreciated.       |

| When to flash bios? Yes, Dave is right. You should never really do a bios update unless your experiencing problems. But I`ve done bios updates when I`ve had an old motherboard. If you have an Asus mobo, they have an asus update ultility you could use. But yeh, you would do a bios update after Windows is installed. Just make sure you have a copy of your current bios, incase anything goes wrong. Regards Jason. |

Ever hear the phrase if it isn't broke don't fix it.

| When to flash bios? There is nothing worse than when you get a power cut right in the middle of a BIOS flash. Yes it has happened to me. I still have that motherboard, no idea what to do with it now??? It just junk as far as I can see.
