Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,

Flash the mobo BIOS need to have some PC skills and you must really
understand how to do it as an improper update of BIOS may turn your PC to a
dead stone and the repair charges may be expensive.
Pls refer to the mobo user manual if it is a home made PC or refer to the
owner manual for a brand name PC.

BTW, You should obtain the latest VIA drivers from viaarena.com or from the
mobo manufacturer's website but not from windows.

If you need more help, pls post back with more info of your PC, the brand
and model of the mobo/PC brand name and model, etc.
