When completed successfully, a BIOS update can fix or enhance aspects of a computer's performance, or provide support for newly installed hardware. However, if an incorrect update is installed or if the update process is interrupted, the motherboard can be permanently damaged, leaving the computer unable to boot. It is recommended to update your BIOS only if one or more of the following conditions apply:

The update fixes a problem with your computer.
The update enhances your computer's performance in a desired way.
You are planning to change the operating system, processor, or other feature(s), and the current BIOS version will not support the new configuration.
