Bios is the main microcircuit of a computer, mobile communicator, laptop and other electronic systems, on which their functioning depends. The main and immediate task of this controller is to diagnose devices and launch the operating system.

In a word, without a basic input / output system, the working capacity of an electronic computer system is zero.

Modern BIOS models have an expanded set of capabilities for configuring devices both connected externally and internal controllers. Sometimes, in order to increase the functionality or speed of the hardware subsystems on Asus, you need to figure out how to update the Asus BIOS .

• If your motherboard does not fit the decision on how to update the Asus BIOS, and it was developed by another company, you should use a detection program.

• Its name is AIDA64 Extreme Edition . Repeat step 1 to install the application. Then run the utility to scan the hardware components. When the process is complete, you will see the main application window.
• Now look to the right. In that part of the window, select the “motherboard” section and similarly for the expanded list of devices.
• In the expanded child window, divided into several blocks and categories, find the item "motherboard supplier". There are also hyperlinks to resources where you can upgrade the BIOS and drivers. It remains only to go to the specified addresses and download the update file.
