Look for the BIOS maker and version when you boot up. Once you have that, you can go to the BIOS manufacturer's website and download (or purchase if it's a hardware BIOS) the update. The site should also have instructions on how to perform the update.\n\nGood luck!

Since that battery ALSO controls the memory for the BIOS settings, your "boot" problem was probably an incorrect setting, or a "dying" battery that allowed some of the BIOS memory to become "corrupted" through insufficient power.\n\nWithout the battery, your time and date are not correct, AND your BIOS boots from the factory "default" settings.  Some programs REQUIRE at least the DATE to function correctly such as your scheduler, some updaters, etc.\n\nI would recommend replacing the battery.  \nYour BIOS will remain on the "default" settings until they are manually changed, so if it runs fine, you need do nothing to the settings.\nYou should be able to find a replacement at the Wal-mart or Radio Shack, or a local computer store or repair shop.

It usually depends on the manufacturer of the motherboard.  If the machine is bought from a brand name such as Dell, HP, Compaq, etc... you'll probably have to go to their respective website and look up something like support or downloads.\n\nHowever, if it is a homebuilt machine then you'll need to open the machine a determine the manufacturer of the motherboard as well as the model number.  After that then you go to the manufacturer's website and try to find BIOS updates that you can download.\n\nLast thought on BIOS updates though, be very certain that you are downloading and installing the correct BIOS, otherwise you can render your PC inoperable.

It looks to me like it wants the disk with the new bios on it. The cd you're talking about is the utility used to flash the bios, corrrect? You actually need to download a new bios for it to use, in order to flash it.

There should be a setting like that in your PC's BIOS.\nU can't change bios setting using .net\n\nNote: Assembly is the good programming language that change bios setting

you can turn it off and then it will be extremely slow or you can turn it on and it will be fast and working lol.\n\nSeriously the BIOS should let you over clock it but its not a good idea :)

Only place I found BIOS updates for their products is \n\nhttp://www.bios-drivers.com/\n\nTheir bios section for Lucky Star is here.\n\nhttp://www.bios-drivers.com/companies/610.htm\n\nHope it helps. assuming you mean the motherboard by that name.

first of all, you need to make sure you get a processor that is compatible with your motherboard, and will work on it. the changing is easy, hardware wise, but it depends on the type processor you are changing, they remove in slightly different way, you computer manual or online supposrt will tell you haow to change it in your computer, if your board is plug and play, it will detct your processor and set it up, if not you will have to find teh settings and set them for your board, older boards you have to set clock speed, bus speed and voltage, depending on the upgrade you are doing, you may have to flash the bios to a newer version. Your best bet is to get the manual for your motherboard online, so you have the info you need. it is not all that easy for an amatuer, do it wrong and fry the processor

Most BIOS are upgradable using updates from the manufacturer.  Keep in mind that BIOS is not software...it's firmware (software embedded into a programmable controller).  As such, you won't be adding any more features or functionality.  It will only fix bugs with older firmware revisions.  You will still be limited by the original specifications of the motherboard (e.g. CPU speed, CPU type, memory limits, memory speed, memory type, etc.).

Tom,\n You should go to the computer maunfacturer's website (hp.com, ibm.com, etc.) and search for your computer's model number. Under the downloads section, you will find a BIOS flash. Write down the version from the website, restart your computer, and get into the BIOS (usually hit F2, some are F8 or Del). That will tell you if you have the latest BIOS or not, matching the written down one with the one the computer says it has. Go back to the website and download/apply the BIOS flash as needed.\nCheers.

check your bios settings

If he really has an A+ cert... take it away. I kind of doubt he does, if he's screwing up his comp just by going into the bios... Anyway, it differs from motherboard to motherboard, but usually you just press the delete key right when it's starting up to get into it. I've also seen F2 instead of delete. Just use common sense, if you don't know what it is, don't mess with it. If you mess with it anyway and screw something up, just restore the defaults.

Hate to disappoint, but there's no "simple" terms.\n\nFirst you need to determine if your new motherboard is ATX/MiniATX or the old AT-style.  If you've purchased your PC within the past 6 years (and it's not a name-brand...many use proprietary layouts for their motherboards), it is likely ATX.  Also you need to make sure the power supply will support the new motherboard and accessories.  If your power supply is not at least 300W, you may want to upgrade your power supply as well.\n\nBefore you purchase or obtain a new motherboard you must make sure the memory and CPU on your old board will work with the new one.  That is, unless you're replacing the CPU and memory as well, then there's no worry.\n\nOnce that's figured out, you'll need to remove all the add-in cards (if facing the front of the case laid out horizontally, they're in the back, left).  Simply unscrew the screws, or unclip the retention mechanism, and slide them out (gently).\n\nDisconnect the hard drives, floppy, CD/DVD drives, and case connectors (for lights/power switch).  Since hard drives and CD/DVD drives often use the same style connector, make a note of which cable goes to which connector (usually labeled IDE0 and IDE1).  If you have a diagram of the old motherboard make a note of which case connectors are which (usually one for HDD light, one for Power, one for Reset, and one for speaker).\n\nRemove all the screws holding the motherboard to the case.\n\nInsert the new motherboard/CPU and reverse the above process (replace screws, connections, drives, add-in cards).\n\nPlease Note (IMPORTANT): if you are replacing an existing motherboard with a make/model that is not the same as the original (or at least the same chipset), you will likely need to reinstall Windows 2000 and/or Windows XP.  Sometimes you can get away with not reinstalling Windows 98 or Windows 95, but often they also require a full reinstall.\n\nHappy swapping!

Firstly, nice hardware setup - It really does sound like a top notch machine.\n\nSecondly, don't try to upgrade your bios. I've known many people destroy their motherboards trying this (you can send it to the manufacturer to get fixed but it's not really worth it).\n\nIf I were you, I would simply make do with what you have. Trying to upgrade your bios might be the end of your supreme machine for a while until you can get a new board or get the current one remastered.\n\nYour machine is obviously a very high spec machine so I would suggest you stay happy with it to be honest.\n\nJ

It's very dangerous if you don,t know wath you do. You need to  go on your bios to upgrade it. But make sure is that you realy need. If there is a pan of electricity in the time you do it, you will need another pc with the same chipset to arrange that.

Try using the intel site and download the drivers for their 925X chipset motherboard as most other manufacturers motherboards are knockoffs of intel and use intel manufacturers chipsets in their motherboards, you may also want to BIOS updates
