The BIOS IC is inserted in an IC socket  which means that it can be removed and  exchanged for another IC if necessary     Is updating my BIOS necessary     As a general rule if your system is functioning properly and you are not an experienced  user  do not try to update the BIOS  Only if you have specific problems that a BIOS update  may solve may it be advisable to update the BIOS    The update process is pretty complex  and you should bear in mind that if updating the  BIOS goes wrong you may render your system unbootable  Therefore  do not update unless  you know what you are doing     Finding the latest official BIOS revision  For the latest official BIOS revision  please go to our website at www lucky star com tw     On the support page you can find the latest BIOS files for our motherboards        31    4 1 Updating the BIOS    As said  this procedure is complicated  only update your BIOS when you experience    problems with your system  Because each BIOS release completely overwrites the previous   version and there is no need to update to intermediate BIOS releases when updating the   BIOS  Therefore always use the latest BIOS revision when doing a BIOS update  The   BIOS update procedure is as follows      In order to flash update the BIOS  you will need 2 files    The BIOS binary file   bin file from the website   AWDFLASH EXE utility file   This utility can be downloaded from our website       Create a directory on your C harddisk drive  and nam
