Hi...I upgraded my cpu from e2180 to q8200. Do i need to flash the bios ? It is currently an F10 bios on a g31m-es2l mobo. More info can be provided if needed !! And yes, I am a noob to all this

According to this you have version 1.x of the board which supports the Q8200 since BIOS F8 so no need to update. http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2889

I would update it anyways, just in case
