I work on critical use servers everyday, so I am kind of conservative here, but general rules of thumb for BIOS: If everything is working, don't mess with it. If the 2012 version of your BIOS didn't boot properly from your flash drive unattended, the 2015 version likely won't either unless that issues is specifically addressed in the release notes.

Remember that in general, most manufacturers do not upgrade BIOS, they just apply updates to the same base revision to fix specific issues with their hardware, newer revisions of hardware, or newer supported hardware like CPU microcode that was not available at release.

If you really think that the BIOS upgrade will make a difference and it requires/recommends Windows, just throw in an old HD and install Windows 7 (no need to activate or load drivers or anything) and flash bios and put your original HD(s) back in your box. there are several ways to update the BIOS, most require Windows or have a failover DOS executable that can be done via FreeDOS on a USB boot drive. Many systems CAN potentially benefit from a BIOS update, if one is available. it is obviously not configured or not able to handle automated boot from this usb drive, though you'd think it should, being only a couple of years old. The most proximate problem is getting the bios to correctly recognize a verbatim pen-drive, which i use all the time and have to reboot, then completely turn off/restart. Hence the call for help here.Īs for the bios, I've read some reputable sources which in fact DO say that a system can greatly benefit from a bios update, especially as in my case, where I've just had a new SSD installed. exe file for such purposes, the process for linux looked way too complex for me to attempt. Have been to the American Megabytes Inc site tried to decipher their notes on support for 'flashing' my specific bios on a linux machine. There isn't really just a 'generic' update to BIOS, each BIOS build is specific to a piece of hardware and it's configuration. You should get the model of your system if you purchased a complete system or the exact model and hardware revision of your motherboard and check the respective support websites for updates.

BIOS is not necessarily like your smartphone, it doesn't need periodic updates if everything is working properly.īIOS updates are handled by the equipment manufacturer, either the motherboard or the computer maker (HP, Dell, Asus, MSI, etc).
