Flashing the bios.

Hello all, erm never flashed bios before and have recently noticed there is an update on the Acer web site. The bios mine is running on at the minute is R01-B3 and the new one is R01-B4.

Is it worth updating to the new one?

Will Win 7 take to it?

What will be the benefits of the newly released bios over the one I have?

How do I go about doing it and are there any safety precautions I could take so I can roll back incase I F it up?

this is the most precarious install you'll ever make, if this goes wrong there is usually no way to re-flash.....


if you OC quite heavily this is quite good for adding additional options, if not i'd leave it well alone......

if you want to update the BIOS make sure your running ''optimized system defaults'' when you do so.... if you update over an exsisting OC you'll bugger it.


are you going to do it via USB..??

Erm I have not decided yet. I have never done it before so................

Also I haven't overclocked this system yet because that was the reason I burnt out the last time.

I am basically looking for the best ways to do it as I have never done it before but I do know how important it is not to F it up. Do you think it would be worth it or am I just best leaving it alone. My system runs fandabedosey now so I cant expect things to run better can I. There is nothing broke and it runs sweet. What do you reckon?

Yes good idea to try and find change log, on the job now.

Thanks chaps.

Thanks all. Can't find change log so decided to leave it

Cheers.
