    Make sure u have the correct bios and that the power doesn't go out while your flashing

    BIOS upgrades are generally a hairy affair and should only be done when absolutely necessary. If it fails, it may very well turn your motherboard into an expensive paper-weight.

    - Make sure you have a backup of your existing BIOS.
    - Make CERTAIN it's successful before rebooting.
    - If it fails, keep trying until it succeeds.

    "SOPiG" - WTF it is?! I tried to google it but found nothing.
    I did bios upgrade 3 times and 2 of it went wrong! So I suggest to you if you don't have to do it, don't do it! :) But I know you will do it at least for the adrenalin :)
    I've found something for you:
