    Thanks TheGreatAnonymous for links. Lol, I like how the username works here...



    I've had an age old problem that causes crashes and freezes and BSODs and you name it problems ever since I updated my graphics card drivers long time ago. I'm wondering if it's because of an outdated BIOS or something.

    So, how do I update my BIOS? Or most importantly; how do I find an update?

    I remember trying to find an updated version but it was like finding a needle from a hayfield. I think I have Phoenix BIOS or something? I can't remember how to find it out either.

    Edit: bios screen says this:
    "Phoenix SecureCore(tm) MB
    Copyright 1985-2009 Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
    All Rights Reserved
    W8x0CU BIOS Revision: 1.00.11
    KBC/EC Firmware Revision: 1.00.01"

    Edit2: Yeah now I remember why it is so hard to find; Phoenix redirects me to some freaking "biosagentplus" crap BiosAgentPlus.com - Extend your PC's life with a BIOS update
