MSI say I should.
My computer has an ongoing issue with integrated graphics not working recently which I found out was the TV at fault this past weekend, i.e. the computer was working just fine. In between first having the issue and solving it, I contacted MSI who asked for my BIOS and ME version which I gave.
My ME is 9.1.26.1006
And they said it should be 9.1.37.1002 and I should download the latest BIOS from their site and flash it using M Flash. This is something Live Update is meant to do itself
If there's one thing I know about BIOSes is it's you don't flash it if everything's working fine and only do it if something is broken and you have no other choice. Msi's own website says don't flash it if you don't know what you're doing (which I don't really when it comes to a computer BIOS) or if everything is working correctly (which it is).
I'm using an MSI Z97 Gaming 7, i5 4570
So, should I flash it? I'm reluctant to because of you mess up, there goes your PC.
Bonus question, why when Live Update does a BIOS update does the computer reboot (as normal), but then doesn't completely boot and starts again like something went wrong. So it's fans and light on, turn on (I think the board's boot codes appear on the LEDs), shut off, start over and complete boot
