Did to earlier pc P-3's board :yes:

You?
Whenever I get a new BIOS, I update. Already I've updated 5 times for this motherboard. (only 3 months old :D :D :D)
I download the exe version of it. It then restarts the PC, flashes the BIOS (and the backup chip too - wonder why) and boots back to Windows.

bt hw u do it
There's nothing to do really. Just download the BIOS, and run it from Windows. That's all. :D

But this method isn't supported on every motherboard. Intel motherboards DO!

    Hmmm....@BIOS
    Gigabytes' got their DualBIOS® chips for the Best BIOS.Usually theyve got two 1MB bios chips.One for use one for backup.Wonder why is that..
    MSI comes with 512KB one.ASUS comes with about 2MB for their Mylogo program which u can have a picture of ur like when booting the PC.
