Better not update the BIOS, u can kill the system if u screw it up, and no it wont speed things up.

Try defragging the hdd or get more ram.

It may fix bugs / or add options in the BIOS tho.

Try selecting default settings in the BIOS and reconfigure the BIOS settings.

And remember to save the BIOS settings, before u quit the BIOS.

What sort of PC is it ? An HP/Compaq/Dell or a custom one ?
If its a recent HP/Compaq/Dell, then check their website for updates etc.
If custom, then youll need to find the motherboard model and check with the motherboard manufacturer to see if theyve released any BIOS upgrades.

Most decent motherboards now let you upgrade the BIOS from within Windows or have you make a floppy/CD with the new BIOS on it and boot from it.

If you are not confident to do this yourself, I highly advise you get someone who has done it before to do it for you, as you can "kill" a PC to a degree when upgrading the BIOS (However, most BIOS have some form of backup/reset these days)

549971 2007-05-15 05:21:00 My computer is custom made by TALIOR MADE COMPUTERS. Firzen001 (11302)
549972 2007-05-15 05:21:00 How do u update the bios?
Would updating it, speed up the computer? Goto the motherboard manufacturers website and look for BIOS downloads or something like that.

No, it will not, it should fix that error though and any other issues found with the BIOS since the release of you current version

549973 2007-05-15 05:23:00 I not so confident with upgrading the BIOS system. If it could possibly kill my computer Firzen001 (11302)
549974 2007-05-15 05:25:00 OK fine, but it is really not all THAT hard... The_End_Of_Reality (334)
