Download this (not sure if linking like this work since some sites are jerks about it), plop the contents onto a USB drive, and boot into the BIOS where there should be an option buried somewhere to update the BIOS.

Find the bios on the manufacturer's website, download the latest one. Put it on a USB. Boot into the BIOS, find a function called "Flash from USB" or something similar, select the USB, select the BIOS, click "ok". Bios should update its self

Please Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It. Take Time & Explain
