Note: After flashing bios, it can result in a reset of your bios settings, so keep note of them before flashing bios\

When Flashing BIOS Make Sure to Upgrade 1 Version Each Time.\
Example: Version FE 03/12/23 -> Version FW 03/29/23 instead of going to a newer one always go through the following dates in order!\

How do I check my version? Go to your bios and check your bios version in system information. (Could Also Show When You are Flashing Bios, So Enter Flash Mode to do so)\

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS RIGHT BEFORE YOU DO IT! (Note: If you oare n the newest version, downgrade and upgrade)&#x20;
