Updating Bios For Hp

[Ferimer]

I am looking ot update my bios for my Mobo Hp M2N68-LA. I have downloaded the necassary Bios update I think, I just would like some guidance and the best possible wa yo to go about doing it and the easiet way to do.

Close all Windows applications and execute the new BIOS file (sp37190.exe). Don't do it if there's a risk of a power failure unless you use a UPS.

Don’t do it unless you have to because some feature of your computer does not work. If you don’t need the new BIOS why take the risk of damaging your motherboard?

Whoa whoa whoa! Warning: Don't do it unless you absolutely have to. I have the same board (Violet), and HP gave me the incorrect BIOS files, so when I recently flashed it, my motherboard became a paperweight.

Consider your decision carefully!

Well with all the disencouragement I didn't bother going ahead with the update, it seems too risky for me to go about doing all of this. Thank you guys
