When I built my new rig, one of the first things I did after making sure
it wasn't bad out of the box, update the BIOS.  Mine was like 2 or 3
versions behind.  It booted and all but I did update anyway, just to
prevent weirdness later.  Turns out I had enough weirdness with a old
monitor so I needed to rid myself of some for sure. 

I might add, I had to do the same thing on my old system when I first
built it.  I'm not sure on my very first rig.  I think newer mobos will
update now even without a CPU.  At least mine seems claims that anyway.
