1. Prepare the BIOS update: Visit the official HP support website and locate the latest BIOS update for your DX 2200 motherboard. Download the update file and save it to a USB flash drive that is formatted with the FAT32 file system.

2. Backup important data: Before proceeding, ensure you have backed up any critical data from your system. Although rare, BIOS updates can potentially cause issues, so it is always better to be safe and prepared.

Look for an option such as "Flash BIOS," "Update BIOS," or "BIOS Update Utility." The specific location and wording may vary depending on your BIOS version.

6. Select the BIOS update file: Within the BIOS update utility, locate the option to choose the update file. Use the arrow keys to select the file from the USB flash drive that contains the BIOS update you previously downloaded.

7. Start the BIOS update: Once you have selected the update file, follow the on-screen prompts carefully to initiate the BIOS update process. Some systems may require you to confirm your choice or enter a password for security purposes.

8. Wait for the update to complete: The BIOS update process will take some time. Make sure your computer is connected to a stable power source and refrain from interrupting the process in any way. Do not turn off your computer or unplug the USB flash drive until the update process is complete.

9. Restart and verify: After the BIOS update completes, the computer should automatically restart. Upon booting back up, you can enter the BIOS setup utility again to confirm that the update was successful. Check the BIOS version to ensure it matches the update you installed.
