Do I need to update bios?

I was about to make a post into the troubleshooting section about how my PC wouldn't Sleep/Shutdown or restart without me having to physically pressing the power button on my case and saw that Bios might do something about it and I have been looking around and can't really find anything about it needing to be so I'll ask here. I'm currently running an Asus Z170-A and bios version is 0404

try other fixes before updateing BIOS because there is a small chance a BIOS update can brick your motherboard. i would only use it as a final thing to try

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Alright, I was thinking the same thing after seeing that you could brick it. Thanks for the reply.

I think it's more of a Windows issue rather than a BIOS issue.
