Flashing the BIOS
What is flashing the BIOS? Flashing the BIOS simply means updating the BIOS to a newer or different version.  It should only be done if the system needs it.  For example, if the system is not recognizing a specific component, flashing the BIOS may be necessary.  BIOS updates can generally be done through Windows or through using some kind of bootable media.
