BIOS is a set of firmware that ensures the interaction of hardware system components. Its code is recorded on a special chip located on the motherboard, and can be replaced by another - newer or old. It is desirable to always keep the BIOS in the current state, as it allows you to avoid many problems, in particular, the incompatibility of the components. Today we will talk about programs that help update the BIOS code.
Gigabyte @bios.
As it becomes clear from the title, this program is designed to work with "motherboys" from gigabytes. It allows you to update the BIOS in two manual modes, using a previously downloaded firmware, and automatic with a connector to the official server of the company. Additional functions store dumps on the hard disk, reset the settings for default and delete DMI data.
ASUS BIOS UPDATE.
This program, which is included in the package with the name "Asus Update", is similar to the functionality on the previous one, but is aimed exclusively on the Asus fees. It also knows how to "sew" BIOS in two ways, make backups of dumps, change the values of the parameters to the source.
ASROKK INSTANT FLASH.
Instant Flash can not be fully considered a program, as it is included in the BIOS on the Motherboards of ASRock and is a flash utility for overwriting the chip code. Access to it is carried out from the settings menu when loading the system.
All programs from this list help "flash" BIOS on "Mothermnel" of different vendors. The first two can be launched directly from Windows. When interacting with them, it is necessary to remember that such solutions to help facilitate the process of updating the code make in themselves some dangers. For example, random failure in the OS can lead to the inoperability of the equipment. That is why there are such programs with caution. The Utility from ASRock is deprived of this shortage, since its work is affected by the minimum of external factors.
