BIOS update?

[MarkoCroatiaMC]

So, I made my friend a PC (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FB2sdC) and he saw the scheme for it. Then he read in the description below:

• Some AMD A88X chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaveri CPUs.

"HOW do you update a BIOS?", he asked me, and I ask you the same. Tnx for all the help

It most likely will not need a BIOS update.

Yes, but still, if it'll need an update for it, HOW do you update it???

It looks like you'll need to use their APP Shop application to update the BIOS which requires a working system. They may have something in the BIOS itself to update it using a flash drive, but they're not advertising it.

Make sure the USB u are using is fat32 format

Put the bios file inside the USB. Bios file is ROM

When go to bios looks for instant flash

Click it and make sure the bios file pop up, select the bios

Click update and let it do it job

if you typed this from that very computer, then you DO NOT need to update your BIOS.
