What is the most reliable source of an up-to-date flash update for the BIOS?
  1. Manufacturer CD that came with the System.
  2. Manufacturer’s website.
  3. Automatic Microsoft or Windows Updates.
  4. The BIOS should not be updated.
Explanation
Answer: B - The manufacturer’s website is the most reliable source of an up-to-date flash upgrade for the BIOS.

Key Takeaway: Flash updating the BIOS should only be done when absolutely necessary (for instance, when a flash update provides support for a new technology), and the process should never be stopped once started, or else the motherboard will become unusable. Since the updates will be after you purchased the system, the Internet is the best source for finding the update. Microsoft Updates do not usually provide updates for the BIOS. Check the computer or motherboard manufacturer’s website for the most up-to-date
