    I know there are problems with some BIOS and SOME media players. If you DO decide to update, do your homework first. If it helps, I have a video on updating a Gigabyte BIOS. Yours MAY be different, but DO NOT update from within Windows. It has a much higher failure rate than from flash memory or CD. If you are going to do it, use flash memory if you can. It's the most reliable method with every board that uses it.

    Here is that link to that video if you care to watch

    Usually the manufacturer provides a way to flash the BIOS from within Windows. Make sure no other programs are running, and run the .exe file. Do not disrupt the process.

    If you are not confident enough, don't mess with the bios. You should listen to the majority of the power users around here...it doesn't worth it, at least for "fixing" WMP. Did you tried with some of the suggestions that I provided? Someone recommended and using different media player...Or, if you are determined to flush your bios, find someone experienced to do it for you. That would be my recommendation for you.
    cheers

    I agree with Grimmjow a bad experience you are having with WMP does not really constitute such a drastic thing as flash your bios, it is a significant task which CAN! render your system entirely useless. So why not give another player a go first my recommendations are...

    Foobar2000 audio player
    K lite codec pack which comes with Media Player Classic

    Hope you sort your problem out soon.
