update BIOS

Is it possible by just updating the BIOS it can fix problems with memory erroring in memtest86? Had a stick of memory that would error in the same spot on the same test that would do it ever 2-3 passes. It was like ever 3 it passed it would error once.

After updating the BIOS it passed 11 times with no errors.
 
Is it not a bit risky to update the BIOS if the machine is unstable? I've always wondered if I should revert any overclocking back to stock before updating the BIOS or is that just overkill?

no, that's good advice.
 
Its a bit of pain though with all the memory timings tuned to the nth degree, especially when I dont trust my spd values :frown:

Your suppose to load default in bios before and after the flash. I think your even suppose to clear CMOS afterwards. Either way on DFI I can save my current BIOS settings before loading defaults. One of the best features DFI offers.

Heck it allows multiple BIOS saves.
