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.

If you are not sure about which RAM you need, or you do not know your motherboard model, then you can do a system test at  - \nwww.crucial.com\n\nIts called system scanner, the link is here - http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/\n\nThis will identify your system and give you all the compatible/available options to ugrade..\nIts a nice tool, obviusly you dont need to buy it from there..... you just need to find out what you need..........

Usually have to reset the bios.  It's best to get a motherboard manual and see what's recommended, but the basics are: \n - pull the power cord and/or main battery (if it's a laptop), \n - pull the lithium battery (usually a flat silver one on the motherboard), \n - then apply the reset jumper on the motherboard.  \nThis last one is the tricky part as you have to know where it is on the MB and they all differ.  THIS WILL RESET ALL PARAMETERS ON THE BIOS, so you have to know what they are when the thing comes back up to put them back in.  If you have a standard motherboard (ex: Asus) then you can usually find that info on their website.\nIf this sounds scary, most computer stores can do it for you.

go to IBM.com and search through their product downloads page.. search for your model number and BIOS. Any updates should be found fairly easily. \n\nTAKE CAUTION: If your computer crashes during the bios flash.. OR you install the wrong update, your computer will cease to function.\n\n-Tom

you go to your manufactures web site, support. fin dyour particular model computer and the find the bios download in support. download it and the flash program, be very very careful doing this, flashing your bios, if you make a mistake, you will probably damage your motherboard and make it useless.

The part number is on the top of the battery, so yeah... open 'er up and take a look.  You might need to just take the battery out and show it to them, but that'll clear your CMOS settings for the BIOS.  If that isn't a problem for you, go for it.

if your bios supports it you will have to put a password lock in there in order to do it. then remember to change your boot function as well. \n\nI could possibly guide you through it if i knew the type of bios you have...
