Well there are risks in upgrading BIOS, firmware and to be honest there is a certain amount of risk with drivers at time. Taking the precautions given by the manufacturer in doing these things will generally minimize them though and there are many here who would gladly walk you through them. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DELL XPS Studio 435T
