How to flash your BIOS
So I have been having an occasional weird crackling that occurs in my speakers and I've been told it's possible that updating my BIOS could help solve the problem. Well, I have an EVGA 750i FTW motherboard and I looked and found they say to do it all I need is to burn the .ISO they provide to a disc and boot from it and it will do it. My question is simply, do you all know if it would be automated or is it going to ask me something that I have to select or anything else?
It also made mention of clearing the CMOS by powering down - does this require anything extra than just a shut down (Like unplugging the machine, removing the battery, anything else like that)? I'd appreciate the advice, I've mostly never done these because I was afraid I'd screw it up but I don't know if I'm going to have to like direct the BIOS file where to install or tell it my version or if it's all automated. If they've made it automated then not really much to worry about I suppose - just want to know before I go through with it!
