    Hi ,

    If it is a laptop or desktop, if possible, could you provide the laptop model or your desktop configuration?

    Access Msinfo32.exe in the search bar, take a screenshot, and post it here.

    Thanks

    To update your BIOS, follow these general steps:

    1. Check Your Current BIOS Version: Before updating, find out your current BIOS version. You can do this by entering the BIOS setup during boot (usually by pressing a key like F2, F10, or Delete) or by checking in Windows under System Information.
    2. Visit the Manufacturer's Website: Go to the support section of your motherboard or computer manufacturer's website. Look for the latest BIOS update for your specific model.
    3. Download the BIOS Update: Download the BIOS update file. It is usually in a compressed format (like .zip) and may include a README file with instructions.
    4. Prepare a USB Drive: Format a USB flash drive to FAT32 and copy the BIOS update file onto it. Make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the manufacturer regarding the file structure.
    5. Enter BIOS Setup: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup again.
    6. Use the BIOS Update Tool: Look for an option like "EZ Flash" or "M-Flash" in the BIOS menu to update the BIOS. Select the USB drive and the BIOS file you downloaded.
    7. Follow the Instructions: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update. Do not turn off your computer during this process as it can corrupt the BIOS.
    8. Reboot: Once the update is complete, your computer will usually reboot automatically. You may need to enter the BIOS again to adjust settings or confirm the update.
    9. Check for Updates: After the update, check if there are any additional updates or settings you need to configure for optimal performance, especially for gaming.

    Make sure to read any specific instructions provided by your manufacturer, as the process can vary depending on the motherboard or system model.
