Eeprom BIOS Chip
A BIOS processor is a central processing unit that is compatible with the motherboard in use in a computer. Upgrading a BIOS processor involves updating the processors that are compatible with the BIOS. This process is desirable from time to time as new, faster processors are released that are compatible with the motherboard's socket. Upgrading requires a re-flash of the BIOS with a newer version provided from the motherboard manufacturer. These upgrades are performed through auto-executing desktop applications.
Instructions
1. Navigate to the BIOS executable file that you downloaded.
2. Double-left click the BIOS update file to launch the installer. Right-click the file and select 'Run as Administrator" if using Windows Vista or Windows 7.
3. Accept the End User License Agreement, and click "Next."
4. Close all background applications and perform no computing tasks while the BIOS is updating.
5. Confirm you wish to begin the BIOS installation process and click "OK" or "Next." This begins the update of the BIOS.
6. Reboot the computer when installation is complete if it does not reboot automatically. This allows the BIOS changes to take effect.
