if you have a BioStar motherboard they have a nifty utility called WinFlash that you can flash your BIOS right from windows. But you should not flash (upgrade) your bios unless you are having a problem. Usually a bios upgrade will not increase system performance, but it can add extra features, i.e. some older computers wouldn't accept hard drives over a certain amount of gigabytes, and a bios upgrade fixes that.

yes definitely you can upgrade the version of the bios of their motherboard by going to the site of their motherboard make and then downloading it but I do not have the information is on how to install the upgraded patch on your motherboard. I think it will be available on the website in the health section on how to install that. It is a nice thing to update the bios version of your computer's motherboard but I have never done it so this is the max I can help you.
