I recently bought a Gigabyte mobo and it has Q-Flash. It will update |
| 22 |
the BIOS without needing a OS. According to the book, you just |
| 23 |
download the update and put it on a USB stick, must be FAT32/16/12, and |
| 24 |
hit the end key when the BIOS screen comes up. It sounds pretty easy. |
| 25 |
I have not done this yet tho. |
