Bios flash how to/tips

[wheels]

I will be building my first comp with the new chaintech nforce4 ultra mobo. THe only thing I am worried about is if I have to flash the bios. That scares me. Anyone know what the process is or got a website. I need a step by step guide. Brief or in depth whatever. If there is no problems, I read that Ishould stay with my bios and not flash. I am not overclocking anything so I think I'll be safe, but Id like to have the info just in case something happends . Thanks

if its not broke, dont fix it

meaning, unless you have a serious problem, dont worry about flashing your bios. Its usually not a necessary action, unless something is seriously wrong with the shipping bios, and you cant get your computer running without a flash.

On my Chaintech board I use WINFLASH & it works very well.

I know it's an ecs link but the program's the same.

Your motherboard manual should tell you how, step by step.
