BIOS is a software that is responsible for setting up the PC. It is stored on a small storage device located on the motherboard. Therefore, biosa, like any other program, requires a regular update, motherboard firmware.
Service cost 470 R.
The task that costs to entrust professionals! We will fulfill it with a guarantee and in the shortest time!
In which cases is required by flashing bios (BIOS)?
As a rule, the motherboard refuses to work with the processor that does not correspond to it by the type of release. In this case, just need a flashing.
Other reasons for firmware updates can be hidden in different way, starting with a PC banal freezing and ending with the incorrect functioning of the computer.
For example, a situation is often found when by purchasing a new processor and inserting it into the motherboard, during the inclusion on the monitor nothing appears, and the PC itself does not make absolutely no sounds, except the noise of the working cooler.
As a rule, it turns out that the problem is that BIOS does not know about the new type of processor.
With no less frequency, there are also malfunctions of this kind as the lack of sound or during the installation of high-power video card, it is not defined by the system as a device. Solve such problems in most cases will allow such a procedure as the firmware of the BIOS motherboard.
What is the process of flashing and where they provide such a service?
It is important to understand that the renewal of bios is a rather serious step, which means that it is not worth doing it without weighty.
An unsuccessful upgrade can lead to the most unpredictable consequences, up to the full loss of the performance of the PC motherboard.
Plus, the overall consequences are fraught with a sudden turning off electrical energy. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation in the process of this update operation, the source of uninterrupted power supply is best used. Everything you need for this equipment are available from our specialists. To avoid aggravation of an existing malfunction, it makes sense to entrust such a procedure to experienced masters. 
To update BIOS, qualified specialists use utilities offered by the manufacturer of the motherboard or by experts that write the image of the firmware in the CMOS chip, which in modern models is a flash memory where the bios settings are saved, as well as the microcode itself.
To perform this process in the master's arsenal, the following components are contained:
- the actual file on which the required version of the BIOS is recorded;
- flash member program (there are two types: under DOS and under Windows).
Our company is ready to provide you with this type of service at the highest level and in the lowest time.
- The first thing from which the bios firmware begins is definition of the motherboard manufacturer (its specific model and version).
- Next, required download the corresponding firmware fileBy which the direct update will be performed. Ideally, this is done on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard. If it supports several ways of flashing, then the file that is intended to update in DOS mode is loaded.
- After, on any clean media placed the downloaded file. Our specialists have a boot device, thanks to which this process is significantly accelerated. And then the direct update begins, during which the computer does not turn off and does not reboot.
As for the motherboard firmware in Windows mode, you need a file containing a new version of the BIOS microgram, as well as a direct program for firmware specifically under Windows Wednesday.
Even a few years after the purchase, personal computers should function normally with the latest equipment. But since the manufacturers of motherboards can not look into the future to find out how the processors will develop, they often provide BIOS updates that will be charged to the actual state.
Thus, in some cases you can install the newest processor, which at the time of the release of the motherboard did not even know, your system identifies it and everything will work as oil. How does this function?
BIOS with battery
BIOS is decrypted as "Basic Input Output System", which means "Basic I / O System", it is it that is the "program heart" of a personal computer.
Long before you see the Windows logo on the screen, the BIOS starts as the first program itself when the PC is turned on. She knows which "iron" is set, initializes it and transmits all the important basic information to start the operating system.
By itself, the BIOS is in a special memory block on the PC motherboard - in flash storage, the contents of which is saved even when the power is turned off. Do not disappear with user settings. This allows a special battery.
Full BIOS update program
Next, we answer the most important questions about BIOS and possible updates: who really need to update the BIOS? How to find out what motherboard and what version of BIOS is on it now? If the update is still needed, how to make an update? And what do you do if something goes wrong?
Tuning BIOS: not only for gamers
The BIOS update is required not to each PC. If your system works stably, you do not need to produce any updates. Only the one who plans big changes in the hardware filling of his personal computer, or wants to squeeze out of the system as much productivity as possible, for example, for 3D games, often without it can not do.
BIOS SETUP: In the menu, these features are presented frequently Depending on the design and technologies used, motherboards support only a limited number of processor models. By updating the BIOS, you can significantly expand this list, and even by those models that appeared after quite a long time after the production of "motherboard".
Requirements: Physical execution, architecture and electronics processor must be compatible with the chipset and the motherboard socket. The problem may arise with very old models: than they are older, the less likelihood that there are fresh BIOS versions for working with new hardware.
Gamers and users who need greater performance, using the BIOS update can squeeze some more power out of their system. Optimized BIOS functions, for example, to overclock the processor, are often expanding and improved only after a while.
In particular, new processors will more accurately be recognized only after the update and, accordingly, will work on correct clock frequencies. The new BIOS may also appear useful functions that will expand the spectrum of configurations of your system.
CPU-Z: free assistant when updating
Before upgrading, you need to make some preparatory work: In addition to the exact name of the motherboard and its revision, you should be found a version of the current version of the BIOS. This will help you with a free utility, which is called CPU-Z.
CPU-Z: Useful information to get easy For each motherboard, the manufacturer must release its version of the BIOS. Therefore, to make a decision on the need for update and downloading a new version from the manufacturer's website, you first need to find out the version of this component of your system.
If there is no package and descriptions at hand, you can find the necessary information using a free program called CPU-Z. In the Mainboard tab, this utility lists all data on the manufacturer, the name of the model and the chipset, and also shows the version of the current version of the BIOS.
Compare this information with the specifications in the database on the manufacturer's website. If the version number coincides with the one that has been specified by CPU-Z, then your system is in the most relevant state. Refracting, therefore, not needed.
If you will find a more recent version on the manufacturer's website, we recommend first to get acquainted with the description of innovations. If you decide that there are new, interesting functions for you or support new processors, you can download the file.
As a rule, the package must contain an executable file (* .exe). It will be required for flashing BIOS. Check for yourself the name of this EXE file (for example, amiflash.exe, awdflash.exe, etc.), as well as the BIOS data file, which has ending. Bin or.ROM.
DOS is preferable: Ways when updating
Switching paths may differ from each other depending on the manufacturer. For example, the ABIT motherboard manufacturer offers a FlashMenu utility. It makes it possible to update the BIOS directly under the Windows operating system.
DOS: The most secure Wednesday to update BIOS Only with such programs you will be able to update the BIOS from under Windows. The safest flash option is bootable floppy disks, CDs or USB flash drives used in DOS mode.
The boot floppy disks can be quite simple to create directly in the "Explorer". To do this, right-click on the "media", in the drop-down menu, select "Format". Do not forget to check the box opposite the MS-DOS boot disk item. Boot CDs are capable of creating almost all known utilities to work with compact discs, including, for example, CDBURNERXP.
To create a boot CD using the CDBURNERXP utility, you will have to have some preparatory work. First download yourself a test version of Ultraiso and install it. Then go to the CDBurnerXP website and download the boot image from there. Open it in Ultraiso.
Now you will see the contents of the boot image. Simple drag and drop your BIOS files there and save the image. Now run CdBurnerXP and select "Disc with Data". There in the top menu click directly on the "disk" and select the "Boot Options ..." string. This function can be activated by putting a tick opposite the "Make Disk Boot" item.
CdBurnerXP: Free and Universal
Now you will only add a boot image. In addition, in the window to select a type of emulation, you need to set a "flexible disk by 2.88 MB", the rest does not need to touch. Record the CD and restart the computer, while leaving the drive in the drive. You may have to change the boot order in the BIOS, so that the system first tries to load the operating system from the CD or DVD.
Now your PC must earn in DOS mode and show the command line of the following type: " A: \\\u003e" With the help of the " dIR / W.»You can view the contents of a floppy disk or CD. Directly from there you can and reflash the BIOS.
An example of AMI-BIOS: In this case, the command will look like " amiflash.exe bios.bin.", And the BIOS in the file name with the BIOS data you need to replace your. You will then see the window in which the BIOS update progress will be displayed. During the update, in no case are not turned off the computer, otherwise the connection will be interrupted and the system will be damaged irreparable.
As soon as the update process is completed, the system restart the computer. Remove the bootable media and run Windows. With the help of the CPU-Z utility, you can check whether the BIOS version has been updated.
Last rescue: The system is not loaded
If things went bad and after updating the BIOS, your system is no longer loaded, it does not mean at all that the computer is broken in irreparation.
Motherboard: A similar model will help in an emergency If the warranty period of your PC has not yet ended, and for flashing BIOS you used the official utilities from the manufacturer, then you can use your right to warranty repair by presenting the appropriate requirement to the seller or manufacturer.
Modified BIOS files from third-party suppliers, which promise an increase in productivity or greater potential for overclocking, can deprive you of the right to warranty service.
But as an alternative option, there are many companies that specialize in salvation of motherboards with failed BIOS.
In some cases, everything can be corrected if you make a special boot "disk" on a computer functioning. It should be written to the flashing utility and files with BIOS data.
Types and ways to carry out such a "rescue operation" depend on the manufacturer of the BIOS:
Phoenix / Award.
In the Bios Phoenix / Award on a diskette with data you must additionally record a file called "Autoexec.bat". To create it, you can use the Windows editor. The file must contain a string :
awdflash.exe biosdatei / py / sn
Replace the word Biosdatei on the file name, laying it along with the end (for example.bin or.rom) with a functioning BIOS. Additional / PY and / SN must ensure that BIOS is rebuilt without additional intervention from the user.
Ami Bios.
If your motherboard uses AMI-BIOS, it is enough to save the file with the BIOS on the floppy disk and rename it to "amiboot.rom". Insert the floppy disk and while starting the system, press the CTRL and HOME key combination.
It should be noted that such a solution will work only in 10-20% of cases, since with a defective BIOS disc often does not function.
Last rescue for professionals
Do you know someone who enjoys exactly the same motherboard? Run the functioning computer in DOS mode and prepare a floppy disk with all the files you need.
Now comes the most dangerous part of the process: while the computer still works, remove the chip where the BIOS is stored, and then insert its "broken" in its place. Here you need to be extremely careful, since everything is done on a computer running. Now run the firmware process of an incorrectly recorded BIOS chip from the floppy disk.
After that turn off the system. Change the chips from the BIOS back. If everything worked as it should, your computer will start with a freshly recorded BIOS. To flash failed chips soldered to the board, it is easier to use a special programmer.
The BIOS update itself and the described methods for eliminating faults, of course, should be taken exclusively at their own peril and risk. Chip is not responsible for possible software or hardware breakdowns.

The software and the operating system need update, but you do not need to touch the driver without particular necessary. Although video game fans need, of course, regularly set all the necessary updates for video cards. But is it necessary to update the BIOS?
The BIOS update does not contribute to increasing the speed and functionality of the PC, and sometimes even becomes the cause of problems. For this reason, it is required to update only in certain situations, which will be discussed below. But first let's figure it out that it is a BIOS.
What is BIOS?
Under the BIOS is a special program embedded in the motherboard chip and intended to maintain the maintenance of a motherboard with other devices connected to it and necessary for the normal functioning of the PC. During the inclusion of PCs, the BIOS enters into the case, performs self-testing, after which it provides the control of the loader that runs the OS. Bios is the low-level software. It is quiet and almost imperceptibly for the user makes his business. In modern models instead of BIOS, it is used, which plays the same role.
When should I update the BIOS?
Although the BIOS update does not have a great impact on the functioning of the computer, but sometimes it can significantly increase its performance. To carry out this procedure is appropriate in the following situations:
- If you plan to hold a computer upgrade. You will not be able to install new equipment without updating the BIOS, because outdated versions can support it incorrectly or do not support.
- If in the modern version of the BIOS, errors that cause significant inconvenience were eliminated. For example, there were problems with the launch of the OS. In addition to certain cases, motherboard creators or laptop can independently recommend the BIOS update.
The update is required only when it is really required to ensure the further functioning of the PC. During the update, it is recommended to create a backup copy of the previous version so that in the event of the need for the need it was possible to quickly exercise rollback.
Update BIOS.
Although VIOS is available in all computers, but it has its own characteristics depending on the version and creators. For example, BIOS from Phoenix differs significantly from an AMI analog. You should choose a version individually under the motherboard. It is also necessary to take into account compatibility with other PC elements.
It is not difficult to carry out the update, but inexperienced users are better not to do this independently, so as not to be harmful to your computer. The new version must be downloaded only from the resource of the manufacturer of the motherboard. Before making download, make sure that the version you are going to download is suitable for your motherboard. It will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with the reviews of the new version of the BIOS, if, of course, there is such an opportunity.
BIOS (or its more modern version of the UEFI) is a low-level software of the basic computer control program, stitched in a special chip on the motherboard. However, reflash the contents of this chip on most boards, it is possible without much difficulty, and today we want to familiarize you with the methods of making this procedure.
For a start, let's say a few words about when it is necessary to flash BIOS and is it worth it at all. The firmware is definitely required only to correct bugs, enable support for updated hardware components (memory, processor, video card) or add a new functional (for example, virtualization support). In other situations, it should be guided by the principle "Works - do not touch", since the potential risk exceeds the possible benefits.
Directly the firmware methods can be divided into three groups: firmware from under the operating system (mainly a Windows family), update from a flash drive through a DOS-shell or means of the BIOS itself.
Before describing possible options, you warn - all further action you make at your own risk, and we are not responsible for possible problems that may arise in the process of execution of procedures!
Preparation for flashing
Before procedures, it is necessary to prepare: find out the current version of the BIOS and download the appropriate option according to the manufacturer of the motherboard manufacturer.
We learn the version of BIOS.
In order to download the appropriate set of software, you should define the current version of the firmware. You can do this in several ways - both through third-party applications and Windows OS. 
We load new in
To download a suitable firmware, you should visit the manufacturer's website of your motherboard and go to the support section in which to find a page of a specific model "Mother's" and download from there one of the available firmware sets. 
Attention! Swing the firmware only from the official sites of the vendor of the motherboard, since the work of self-assembly options is not guaranteed, and their installation can withdraw a fee!
Methods of flashing
After the preparation, you can switch to the selection of the method of installing a new firmware version.
Method 1: Utilities for the operating system
The easiest option is to flash the BIOS from under the operating system using special software. As a rule, the largest suppliers of motherboards (Gigabyte, Asus and Asrock) provide the necessary utilities.
It is quite easy to use such solutions: if you wish, you make a backup of the current firmware code, then load a file with a new firmware in the utility and install it in a few clicks. The only requirement - the computer must be connected to a uninterruptible power source, since if the firmware process is incorrect, the "opamp" fee and you will have to carry it into the service center.
Method 2: Update from a flash drive
A little more complicated, but more reliable method is to record code files on the USB flash drive and the firmware already with it by means of a DOS-shell or the built-in bios update itself. The procedure itself is not too time-consuming - we have already considered it in a separate material, with which we recommend reading. 
Method 3: Options for some manufacturers
Many large maternal manufacturers offer their BIOS firmware methods characteristic only for models of a brand. First of all, this applies to laptops, but is characteristic, including some desktop solutions, in particular, Linek for gamers that imply advanced opportunities.

Method 4: hardware flashing
The most technical complex (and the only one affordable "motherboards") is a hardware firmware using a special programmer. In most cases, this means induction of the BIOS chip from the board, the installation of "flash drives" into the programmer and the firmware of the service ROM file. This option is designed for an experienced user, so if not confident in your abilities, it is better to trust a specialist. An example of hardware firmware you can find the following link. 
Conclusion
BIOS firmware is a fairly specific procedure that is hardly necessary to perform an ordinary user. Nevertheless, manufacturers of motherboards take into account such an opportunity, and therefore developed the appropriate toolkit.

BIOS firmware | reflash reinstall bios
To date, there are many myths and legends on the Internet that envelop the process. firmware - BIOS flashing on a computer.
More on this topic I have already written here - update BIOSMany users still ask the question and are perplexed, so why update (reflash) bios ?
And if briefly, then, for example, new processors are constantly being produced, which are no longer supported by old motherboards, and if not reflash biosThe network board "will not see" this processor.
In addition, errors are eliminated with each new version of the bios firmware, support for new devices (devices) is added and the operation is optimized between devices on the computer.
BIOS ASUS Update Instructions
So, consider the step-by-step process of updating the BIOS system board ASUS. This will help us a beautiful video lesson, which is below on the page.
Where to start primarily before you wanted to update and reflash outdated version of bios? First of all, you need to visit the manufacturer's website of your motherboard.
In principle, the name of the motherboard does not have a decisive value, since process of flashing bios All well-known manufacturers of system boards are almost identical.
At the same time, only a little variables bIOS firmware utilitiesBut the process itself remains very similar and unchanged.
How to update bios asus
In the video lesson you will see how go to BIOS ASUS ... how to find a utility we downloaded for new firmware biosHow to enter this special update utility.
Many ask the question: how to update BIOS on a laptop? Yes, just like on the desktop computer. No difference. Only on different models of laptops are distinguished by the NAME procedure itself in the BIOS.
By the way on the site, in the Computer Tutorial section, it was already described in detail how to enter the BIOS and how not to get lost in the sections of this information input and output devices.
Download Bios Firmware
Where better download di bios updates? All very simple.
If you have an ASUS motherboard, then go to the company of the company ASUS - their Russian-speaking resource in Russia www.ru.asus.com
If the system board of Gigabyte Technology (Gigabyte), then download the BIOS update from the official site www.gigabyte.ru
Correspondingly, if you need an update for bIOS TOSHIBA. (Toshiba) - Go straight to www.toshiba.com.ru, and who has Aser to the download center www.acer.ru/ac/en/en
But on the site www.bios.ru - about bios not a word :))) There is another topic at all. Apparently, the owner of the domain does not want to deal with the computer iron :-)
How to find the desired (last) version of the BIOS update is shown in the video lesson. Do not forget to download the Bios firmware better directly to the browser itself (Opera, Mozilla, IE, that is, what you are used to use).
Do not swing firmware bios. By any download manager, such as Download Master or Reget Deluxe. They, of course, are good for downloading large files, in order to download files or archives in several threads.
But the bios firmware file weighs approximately 2mb, so that these streams can only damage it. The downloaded file we will sew in the bios memory chip.
Update Bios Asus
As for the renewal of bios, hot spores are often conducted. More precisely, these disputes are mainly due to the methods and methods of flashing bios.
Do you use special utilities for flashing bios? Is it possible to update the BIOS directly from the Windows operating system?
Update BIOS from Windows Unwanted Wednesday! The operating systems of winemakes may freeze, to bother in this most inappropriate moment, reboot and the BIOS will be sewn with an error!
The motherboard may fail and it will have to restore or throw it away. And for many system boards, this is the same: - (((
By the way, the ASUS system boards immediately before the bios firmware, check this file to integrity, is it damaged? This is a very useful feature, and possess it (use before updating) BIOS versions not all system fees.
In general, use only the method of flashing bios shown in a video lesson to avoid unsuccessful and tragic bugs when updating bios.
The BIOS flashing procedure itself goes no more than two minutes.
Restoration of bios
The BIOS flashing operation itself is satisfied risky, because if the BIOS is wicked in the chip incorrectly, then very deplorable consequences are possible.
That is, the maternal system fee fails and it must be re-released. True, on some maternal system fees, "rollback" is provided to the previous working state, but unfortunately the number of such materials is small.
But ASUS's system boards have such technology - how to resume the performance of the BIOS. That is, you can "roll back" or restore the previous version of the bios firmware.
Just on the Motherboard ASUS P7P55D PRO has such a poundation of recovery. How to use it before the BIOS is overducing and will be shown at the end of the video lesson. So that you do not forget and take this opportunity to vanal the resource of the BIOS update.
But if your fee does not even support this function, do not worry much. If you do everything as shown in the video lesson, the update process will pass without any problems as oil.
I hope that you have already come to the BIOS and have an idea of \u200b\u200bits appearance and settings.
There is not only a description of versions of bios known manufacturers Phoenix., Awardand also detailed description and screenshots.
Lesson Rebuilding BIOS.
So, even if the firmware file is copied with errors, before the last step of updating the BIOS, the ASUS P7P555D system board will again check this file and invapilates to spoil its working BIOS :))))

BIOS program
After watching the video tutorial about flashing bios you will probably disappear in doubts in the difficulty of this procedure and myths that surround the comprehensive complexity of the BIOS firmware
Some say no need to update BIOS ...
If a new version of the bios firmware has been released (and this can be found on the manufacturer's website), it means it is desirable to put it for eliminating the errors that were in the previous version of the firmware and to improve the interaction and operation of devices (the so-called "iron") of the computer.
BIOS You can update only a certain number of times. In principle, it was true many years ago, in the old version of Bios, who worked on the principle of obsolete flash memory.
Now, Bios manufacturers took care that the BIOS can be updated more than a hundred times ... so that our age is enough to be updated :)))
Although there will be so many versions of updates. Manufacturers, mostly make no more than ten versions bIOS software updates, then those. Support for this model ends.
Hello, dear readers.
Any computer is a complex system. Sometimes during the operation of the device, some problems associated with the correct performance of their functions such as BIOS may appear. It is possible to solve this illness in several ways in several ways - it all depends on the type of error. Next, I will tell you how to restore the BIOS on a laptop, depending on the kind of problem.
Recovery to factory settings
If suddenly the device stopped functioning normally, and you have a suspicion that the reason for this is the incorrect settings mentioned above the region, they can be triggered to return to factory:
In most cases, such a procedure helps. True, sometimes you can meet with a simple mistake that does not allow the OS normally. It is fixed simply:
With a password
Sometimes, users can meet with the situation when someone or they themselves have previously installed the password for the area we need, and they have forgotten it safely. As a result of several incorrect attempts, the device simply ceases to function.
Then you need to open the mobile computer itself. By the way, this method will help if it does not turn on:
Important!Before you go further, you need to clarify several basic moments. So, in some laptops, for example, Acer Aspire, not two, but three contacts. In this case, you need to jumper to another position and wait a few minutes.
In addition, you can sometimes find a special small button that performs the same in its functions. It just needs to be pressing a pencil for a few seconds.
Another output is to extract a battery that supports all important data in memory. In case it is removed - everything will be reset.
Restoration after the firmware
If the problems appeared as a result of the unsuccessful installation of the new version for the corresponding component, you need to perform a number of movements.
Any computer equipment and software, as you know, stirrelines over time and ceases to meet relevant requirements. Equally, this is worn to primary BIOS / UEFI systems, the software of which is integrated into a special chip on the motherboard. When installing new equipment ("iron"), it may sometimes be necessary to flash the bios. On a laptop, there will be such a procedure on a stationary computer terminal, it does not matter. The technology is almost always the same. Some users unfamiliar with the azami such techniques are considered (and harmoniously) that this process is unsafe and difficult. If you can agree with the first statement, you can argue about the second. In fact, flashing Bios motherboard - it's not so troublesome. But for the correct implementation of such a procedure, special attention should be paid to some important details and nuances, which depends on the system board manufacturer and used to flash programs and techniques.
What is needed by flashing bios?
In general, if not planned, and the entire system works stably, to update the BIOS version in principle no sense.
But when the new equipment is installed on the computer, which is not supported by the primary system only because of its obsolescence (the BIOS device simply does not recognize), the BIOS flashing becomes the problem of the pressing. Although many users consider this process difficult, nevertheless, any person working with a computer will be able to perform such actions independently. It will take it no more than 10 minutes.
Refracting Bios Motherboard: Mandatory Conditions
To begin with, pay attention to several mandatory conditions, the non-compliance of which can lead to disastrous consequences.
Download files and programs to update primary systems should only be with the official resources of motherboard manufacturers. In the event of an unofficial firmware, the warranty that the process is successful, and the system will then work as expected, no one can give.
The second thing to pay attention to is during the update. Take care that there are no voltage jumps or a spontaneous disconnection of a computer or a laptop from the power grid, you need to in advance.
General rules for updating all firmware
BIOS flashing is almost for all Motherboard models implies the use of the same scheme:
For standard BIOS systems in most cases, DOS mode is used. However, for some BIOS versions, as well as for more modern UEFI systems, a special program for flashing bios, created by the motherboard manufacturer, which is capable of running even in the Windows operating system environment without mandatoryly creating a bootable carrier.
How to find out the modification of motherboard and the current version of the BIOS?
The very first thing to be done is to determine which model of the motherboard is installed in the computer system, as well as find out the version of the primary BIOS system (perhaps it is currently relevant and does not need to be updated).
You can view information about the board and version of the BIOS in the section that is called from the Console "Run" by the MSINFO32 command.
For the motherboard, you can use specialized utilities like CPU-Z (former Everest). For a device defined in this way, on the manufacturer's website, you need to find the latest firmware and save files on the hard disk.
Preparation of bootable carrier (general technique)
In the case of using the bootable media when the update from under Windows is not provided, it must be created at the first stage. Normal recording of downloaded files will not fit.
To simplify the work, you can use the utility RUFUS, which is very simple in mastering and creates a bootable flash drive for a pair of minutes. Not needless to change parameters. Only in the file system, you should specify FAT32, and in the recording method, use the MS-DOS mode, be sure to check the check box next to the creation of the bootable media. If this is not done, then when you re-load the device as the boot will not be recognized. Then, to install the update in some cases, you will need to additionally copy the control program to the media and the firmware file.
Next, the BIOS update process with examples for maternal cards of several well-known manufacturers will be considered. Although in general, among themselves, they are very similar, nevertheless there are nuances in each of them. We assume that the priority in the BIOS settings is already installed.
ASUS.
Refracting Bios Asus can be made in several ways. Among preferred utilities it is worth highlighting two programs - AFUDOS and ASUSTEK EZ FLASH 2.
When using the first utility, you should create a bootable media and pay attention to the AFUDOS.EXE program file and firmware itself (for example, P4C800B.ROM).
Refracting Bios Asus looks as follows. Loading from the flash drive. Since the carrier was recorded for the DOS mode, the initial line C: \\\u003e will appear on the black screen, in which you need to register the / i P4C800B.ROM command and press the input key. Upon completion of the update, a reboot will be restarted, during which you just need to extract the media from the USB port to start the system from the hard disk.
Refracting Bios The ASUS motherboard when using the second utility is somewhat different from the previous version.
Despite the fact that most of the firmware on the official ASUS website have an extension .Rom, sometimes CAB files can occur. There is nothing terrible in this, since they are used for UEFI systems.
To firmware, enter the UEFI settings when rebooting, go to Advanced Mode mode and in the Tool section of the Tool Select the ASUSTEK EZ Flash 2. Next, select the media with the program again, after the list What to the right will be the desired firmware file. We choose it and agree twice with a warning (first to check the file, then for the start of the firmware process).
At the end of the process, a reboot notification will appear, and at the beginning of the re-start a proposal for initial configuration will be issued. Click F1 and set the desired parameters. Otherwise, just come out of the settings without saving changes.
Gigabyte
Refracting BIOS GIGABYTE systems differs from other processes strongly. First of all, this is due to the fact that you can use an online update to install the firmware. But first consider the use of the Q-Flash utility, which is considered to update the firmware best.
First, you should enter the BIOS settings and use the reset option of all Load Optimized Default settings. After that, you need to save changes, restart the computer and log in to the BIOS settings. Next, the F8 key is pressed to start the Q-FLASH utility, and the start is confirmed by pressing the Y and ENTER keys. To begin with, it is recommended to save the current version by the Save BIOS option, after which you need to use Update BIOS. Next, a request to specify the source from which you want to update are followed. As a media, select HDD 2.0 (this is exactly the flash drive is displayed in the settings). Further, everything, as usual: Select the firmware file present on the media and agree with all warnings.
For Internet update, you can use the @BIOS utility specifically developed by the Gigabyte specialists, which runs in the Windows environment. In this case, it is strongly recommended to disable Hyper-Threading mode in the primary system settings, as well as deactivate antivirus and other resident applications to avoid errors or failures in the update process.
After starting the program, you can immediately save the current version of the BIOS by clicking on the Save Current BIOS button, and then select Online Update Update Mode Update, click Update New BIOS and specify one of the servers present in the list. After that, it will be proposed to specify the model of the installed motherboard, and the program will automatically load all the necessary components and activates the update process.
MSI
Refracting BIOS MSI, as in the case of ASUS, can be manufactured either from under Windows or from under DOS. For the DOS mode, the "enshrined" tool called BIOS-MFLASH is used. But the MSI Live Update 5 or 6 application can also be applied as an initial control utility 5. It is noteworthy that it is still possible to update all installed MSI drivers, as well as reflash the BIOS of the corresponding graphics accelerators. From him and let's start.
In the main window, you just need to install ticks on the necessary items. Select the MB BIOS component and press the scan button below (SCAN). If the new firmware version is detected, we use the Download and Install button, after which the update process starts.
First you need to select the update environment. To simplify the case, mark the in Windows Mode, in the next window we click the closure button of all programs that will appear in the list (Close All Listed Programs), click the continuation button (Next) and in the next window press the start button.
For the DOS mode, select it from the window of the running update process, after which you specify the media and agree with the destruction of all the data present on it (the process will take no more than a minute, after which a message will be issued to successfully create a bootable drive). When rebooting will remain only follow the instructions of a kind of "master".
In the event of an update, using the built-in MFLASH mechanism, you will have to download the firmware manually, create a bootable media and produce the same actions in the BIOS, as described above (the media and firmware file are selected in the tool menu).
Acer.
Refracting bios Acer systems is surprisingly produced much easier. Even the bootable carrier is not necessary, although it is still necessary to format it in FAT32.
A special utility called Insyde Flash is used to install the update, which is copied to the removable media. Simultaneously in the primary directory of the program on the flash drive, you need to copy the firmware file downloaded from the official site, having an extension. FD and corresponding not only to the motherboard, but also the laptop model. Please note that only one firmware file must be contained on the device, otherwise the application will give a proposal for flashing only one of several. After starting the utility when the power is turned on, the update setting proposal will be issued immediately.
The second way is as simple. First you need to completely turn off the laptop, pull the cord from the outlet and wait for the moment when the power indicator will stop flashing. Next, we turn on the cord into the socket, insert the USB flash drive to the appropriate port, clamp the FN and ESC keys and press the power button. Once the indicator starts flashing, let go of the clamping keys. After that, reading information from the drive will begin (this can be noted on the flashing of the LED on the device itself). At the end of the update process, the laptop will restart independently.
Video card
As the dominant video cards are GeForce and Radeon, the BIOS flashing will be considered on their example.
At the initial stage, for your card on the manufacturer's website you need to download a new firmware and management programs. If there are several video cards in the system, you need to leave only one to the update time, inserting it into the PCI-Express slot.
For GeForce cards, the NVFlash program is used (from two files), for Radeon - the Atiflash utility (one file). Next, you need to create a boot USB media for the DOS mode, and then copy programs and firmware files to it.
When starting from the flash drive, make sure that the card is single-processor, otherwise the proposed method will not work. For NVIDIA, the NVFLASH --List command is used for ATI - atiflash -i. If information is issued on two cards, then the adapter has two processors, and the proposed firmware method cannot be used (it is better to refer to the manufacturer's site and find the instruction there).
At the next stage, flashing bios GEFORCE video cards assumes disabling protection. This is done by a string NVFlash -Protectoff.
Further, the NVFlash -4 -5 -6 newbios.rom command is used to start the GEFORCE card update process (the name of the ROM file must match the name of the downloaded firmware), for Radeon cards - atiflash -p -f 0 newbios.rom. After that, we are waiting for the completion of the process and overload the system in normal mode.
Brief results
That's all that concerns flashing primary I / O systems. Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that the optimal option is to install the update exclusively in DOS mode, although special utilities can be used to simplify operation. But they only work in the case of the presence of UEFI systems, and for standard versions of Bios are not suitable. With video cards you need to be extremely careful, since the improper installation of update or the slightest disorders in the process of flashing can lead to the fact that the graphics adapter fails.
Competent setup and accurate actions will help to perform quickly and efficiently. Downloading the updated version can be done with a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or flash drive.
Basic Input-Output System. (BIOS)
- The basis of the motherboard, it is an I / O base (hereinafter referred to as the I / B) placed on the Motherboard. The existence of bios guarantees the ability to configure and adjust the computer.
The system in / in, for each PC depends on the "motherboard".
Determine the BIOS settings for a specific Matkart, you can see them in the motherboard passport.
Important! Incorrect BIOS parameters can display a computer or reduce power index.
Management information.
How to install windows via biosDownloads with DVD, USB, HDD depends on multiple Boot Menu keys:
It is necessary to get into the system: restart the PC and log in to "SETUP" - software that is responsible for the original loading of the computer.
During the reboot, closely follow the inscriptions on the monitor screen, you need not to skip the string that appears below, with such text:
"Press ____ to ENTER SETUP".
The program suggests how to get into the BIOS, you must press the key that is spelled out on the screen, it can be:
F1, F2, F3, F10, DEL, ESC - on different computers, they differ, depending on the BIOS version.
Press the key until the system will not redirect to Basic Input-Output System. A list of tabs will appear on the screen, you need to select the desired, which refers to the loading of devices - "Boot Devices" or "Advanced Bios Features".
If it did not work out the prescribed actions from the first time, you should not despair, you need to repeat all actions a couple of times.
Select the tab to go, you need to click the "ENTER" button. After that, in the drop-down list, find the Boot Sequence tab and the correctness of the choice of information that appears on the right on the monitor screen. It should be said that the selected tab is responsible for the priority of devices loading.
After the download tab is defined, controlling the input keys, you must set the priority so that the first CD-ROM is in the list, or the boot device.
With which the whole process will be held. To do this, select the "First Boot Device" list and then it was a hard drive.
You need to confirm the correctness of the choice and click the "OK" button.
Thus, all the BIOS system settings for loading and reinstalling Windows are ready. It all was carried out in order for the next time the PC will be rebooted, the OS itself redested the boot of Windows from the previously selected disk.
If you are experiencing difficulties or you have a special version of the BIOS, then you can call a computer master who will do everything for you:
In order to start the download, you must restart the computer.
Loading windows through a flash drive.
To install Windows via Basic Input-Output System from a flash drive, in fact, the entire procedure is similar to the above, but you need to select the option in the list of the proposed tabs in the system in the BIOS or on the OS with a simple version of the "overlay" of the versions to select the appropriate menu item.
The installation process of Windows from a flash drive does not start and on the monitor is shown Black Screen:
- Switched on;
- The flash drive is formatted in the NTFS system;
- BIOS B \\ B supports NTFS sections, UEFI - FAT 32.
With a new version of the system for downloading from a flash drive, requests permission to automatically mode. It is best to abandon such an offer, otherwise the OS can not be installed on the part that is needed or deleted part of personal files.
Before installing the BIOS settings, you must select using "+" or "-" and click on the BOOT tab.
When choosing settings, you need to save them. To do this, you will need to press the "F10" key - "Save and Exit". You can also perform this action by pressing the "-\u003e" key - "Exit Saving Changes", i.e. "Exit and Save Changes."
After the approved and selected option and priority of the device load, you need to select the F10 option, after which you restart the computer.
For novice users who need Reinstalling Windows via BIOS Experts have developed some tips for competent and fast flow process.
For a well-confiled BIOS system, special attention should be paid to these recommendations:
- Requirements for PC (provided windows 7):
- Memory - minimum 1 GB;
- Processor - minimum 1 Hz;
- Video card is a minimum of DirectX 9.
- Time to work in the BIOS.
- Requirements for PC (provided windows 7):
How much does the setup process and the new version of Windows? It all depends on the technical parameters of the PC:
- Speed \u200b\u200b"Clock Speed";
- Number of cores "Cores";
- Main frequency "800/1066/1333/1600 MHz".
Average to install Windows via BIOS It will take one hour.
Clean and simple Windows installation processes
Clean installation is the start of the disk with the system in manual mode, during the launch of the computer. After that, hold the start, click on any button, after the test of the inscriptions "Press Any Key" appears on the tap.
If you fail to independently install Windows via BIOS, then use the computer wizard exit service to the house:
The BIOS indicates the location of the new OS, for example, on CD / DVD or on the hard disk, so that the old version does not use at all, or has been removed. Clean option is used for any OS: UNIX, DOS, Windows XP, as well as Linux, Windows 8 and Windows 7.
Simple rarely applied and is not recommended. This is due to the fact that the new version is started with a CD / DVD disk already installed by an old OS. So simple installation is more like a "overlay" process, since the new version is superimposed on the old version.
Differences of installation processes
Simple installation windows:
- Starting a computer;
- Operating system;
- Installation.
Net installation:
- Starting a computer;
- Installation.
- Pure installation.
Sections of the hard disk of the operating system.
Often during a clean installation, all sections are formatted and the old versions and files are deleted. If you need to reinstall the system with multiple divided discs where important files are stored, you can leave information unchanged.
No need to format the disk D, however, the C disk with the files of the old version of Windows will be formatted.
Analysis of the hard disk when installing.
Before you run the installation of Windows (with non-working, failures and glitches), you need to try to use the last chance of restoration and cleaning from malicious programs.
With pronounced problems with the work of the PC, it is necessary, first of all, check the status of the hard disk, analyze the operation of the segments, otherwise even during the installation of the system, the formatting process may hang or unstable.
Saving personal information.
Personal data and information is a very important component that is not always possible to restore, in case of deletion or damage, so before you reinstall, you need to take care of their safety.
To save information and personal data when reinstalling Windows, you need to copy and transfer all the necessary files to the portable media (disk, flash drive, etc.). It is also very important to save passwords, for this it is recommended to use the Backup program or do it in an old-fashioned one, manually.
In accuracy, following the rules and advice, you can understand how to install windows via bios On a computer, even a person, without special skills and experience, in such situations.
The main requirement for the correct installation is the accuracy of performing step-by-step guidelines proposed in the article above. Detailed photos accompanying the installation steps will help navigate in the BIOS system.
BIOS is decrypted as Basic Input / Output System (basic I / O system). It is a fundamental part of the software of your computer and contains key control functions.
Why can you reinstall the BIOS?
BIOS is a firmware through which the base settings of a PC or a laptop are controlled. It is responsible for its inclusion and successful download. Without a working firmware, you will not be able to enter the Windows operating system, with the result that your computer becomes useless. Bios can sometimes be damaged due to the error of the user or the activities of malicious programs, and your computer becomes unsuitable for use. If something similar happened, it means that you need to flash and. But you must understand that the restoration of the BIOS will optionally solve your problem. In many cases, the computer may not be loaded due to the fact that Windows needs in reinstallation.
This is a risky procedure that can completely remove your computer with the subsequent impossibility of warranty repairs. If you are new in a computer case, it is better not to deal with similar things. If possible, seek help from experts who probably know how to run BIOS.
If you still firmly decided that you need reinstallation, first of all you need to run a laptop or a computer that is working and has access to the Internet.

Definition of motherboard model and firmware search
In the case when BIOS has failed on your desktop PC, you need to find through the search engine website of the company's company's company.
The name of the manufacturer and the model specifically your motherboard can be found:
- on the corporate box from under it, which, by the way, is desirable not to lose and not throw away.
- display the name of the model on the black monitor screen shortly after turning on the computer (even before it has time), but not every user can figure it out.
- the radical way is to open the side cover of the system unit and find inside the labeling with the name of the motherboard model (usually it immediately rushes into the eyes, so it will be difficult to make a mistake).
On the laptop, everything is even easier: it is enough to find through the website of the developer's website of your device. For example, if you have a laptop from ASUS, it means that the motherboard will also be ASUS. With the name of the board model you will not be mistaken, because in the same laptop models, different motherboards cannot be installed. The BIOS version you need will be signed on the developer's website, I do not model the motherboard, but the model of the laptop itself.
Find and download the archive with a BIOS file on the developer's website suitable for your device. Any self-respecting manufacturer of motherboards and laptops has a special web page with drivers, firmware and other files useful for users. All this, of course, can be downloaded for free.
After downloading the archive, unpack it using any extractor program (7-Zip, WinRAR, etc.). In the folder that appears there will be several files, one of which with the extension ".bio". No need to think how to run this file. Just rewrite his name somewhere in a notebook, because after a while it may need you when you already configure the firmware. Copy all files from the archive on the USB flash drive or any other storage USB device.
The process of reinstalling BIOS.
Now you can return to your computer with a damaged bios. Make sure that the power source is stable, because voltage jumps can finally spoil the BIOS or even output the motherboard. If possible, it is recommended to use the uninterrupted power supply, through which the computer connects to the network. You should also not turn off / restart the PC or laptop, as well as remove the flash drive during the bios firmware, as this may lead to undesirable consequences.
It consists of the following steps:
Required posts
When your PC or laptop is in working condition, but for some reason I wanted not to simply reinstall, but to update the version of your bios to more modern, then the order of your actions should be the same as described above, with the only difference that An extraneous computer for this will not be needed, because it will be possible to enter the Internet from your device. Installing a new firmware can be useful, for example, if you replaced the equipment in the system block to more powerful.
Perhaps the most difficult and most important point is the definition of the motherboard model and search for a suitable version of the bios through the developer's website. After solving this issue, try to comply with the above-described sequence of actions, experiment less, and then everything should have it.
