Nothing wrong with using the windows updater, I do it myself most times these days, but it's always been safer to not have the OS running while doing a BIOS update which is why you usually get told one of the other methods when asking for advice. |

And it used to freeze the system, they rebooted, it killed it What they should have done was download the update extract it then load it through the program. Then flash the updated BIOS |

| 1376930 | 2014-06-19 08:56:00 | Ignorance is bliss:rolleyes: I have taken on-board the sage advice offered here, clearly I naively took a huge risk. But I read the instructions and notes thoroughly, and checked everything twice to ensure I was following the instructions to a 'T'. Possibly some people aren't quite as pedantically thorough as me on that score. I have to say - its lovely knowing exactly what time it is at a glance. :) |

| 1376931 | 2014-06-19 09:07:00 | To be fair, Windows flash utilities aren't all bad all the time. I have used them when there is nothing else available and usually with no problems. I just don't trust them much because I have seen them (and had it happen myself) that they froze up. Never had that happen in DOS. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
