Go to the manufacturer's site to download the latest version. Trust the manufacturer and be leary of any place else.
The manufacturer provides software and documentation on flashing (writing) the chip used to store their "bios".
Be extremely careful and precise when overwriting a chip's memory.
Mistakes can be disastrous.
That said, I always flash the "bios" when an update is made available. I've never had a disaster and I always follow the directions precisely and first ask the manufacturer if I have the slightest question regarding their flash procedure.
If you are upgrading to a newer CPU,
Such as you had a 65NM and want a 45nm, then you'll likely need this bios update.
If you are not upgrading your CPU, and are having no other problems it specifically lists:
Updating the Bios is only taking a risk for no gain. Its not going to help anything.
This looks more like a bios update to support CPUs under a newer architecture.
If you want to update them anyway, or need too, I highly suggest flashing with a USB drive OUTSIDE of Windows.
Theres always a risk, but software from within Windows increases the risk greatly. Especially if that software is not designed to run in Windows 7.
