why are you trying to update your bios? you really shouldnt unless you have serious problems.

well theres no problem with the bios but isnt it highly recomended to upgrade the bios when theres a new one?

Only if there's a fix you need or a neato feature unlocked. I got the impression over the years a new BIOS means they get a # of complaints how so and so hardware has problems so they write a new one soley for compatibility's sake.
