مرحبا اخواني ...
انا لا اريد ان اعقدكم او افتح لكم موضوع انتم في غنى عنه هذا الموضوع هو تطوير البايوس للكمبيوتر الشخصي .له فوائد كثيره !!!!
عموما انا وضعت الشرح وهو ملخص لكنه بالانجلش انشاء الله يعجب المهتمين بالموضوع !!! وارجو عدم المجازفه للغير المحترفين ارجوكم لا اريد ان اجمع اثام ;)
why we should Update the bios ???????????
Many times the bios shipped with the motherboard was shipped "before its time". The vendor provides updates from their website that fixes some of these problems. The supplier also updates the bios to support larger hard drives and newer processors and larger memory chips. You may need a bios update to support 128Meg dimms, a K6-2 or K6-3, Copper Mine CPU or hard drives over 8 Gig.
To take advantage of these improvements you need to download the proper bios file and bios flash utility.
If you have a Phoenix or IBM bios, think long and hard before upgrading your BIOS. If the flash fails your board will be dead and makers such as HP, IBM, Dell and Gateway will not sell you a replacement chip. They will only sell you an entire motherboard for more than the cost of a new computer! It is possible we may be able to locate an AMI or AWARD bios that will work in your board, but in most cases the risk of upgrading these systems is not worth it.
this site will let you to download asoftware which will tell you what type of motherboard you got !!

How to Flash a BIOS Without Giving Yourself a Headache ??
================
Step 1
Identifying your motherboard model number and BIOS version are the key things in determining your BIOS flash needs. When you first get a POSTing on your screen, you will see a set of numbers and BIOS date in the left hand corner. Identify your BIOS version and date, and write them down on a piece of paper. Make sure you check yourself twice, as this is a very important thing. The wrong BIOS flash can result in a dead motherboard. Sometimes the screen does go by pretty quickly, so you might have to restart it a couple of times to get it right. Take your time and get the exact details needed to ensure a successful mission.
================
Step 2
Find your manufacturer's Web site, and go to the drivers section of the site. This is found most commonly under the support section, but can also be found on the motherboard information page. Motherboard HomeWorld will also have BIOS updates available for download. We are currently finishing up our database to better serve you with this feature. Some sites, such as MSI, have an auto-update program that does this for you. If your site doesn't offer this, you will have to do it manually. Locate your motherboard and download the Phoenix BIOS 4.0 or the AWARD FLASH EXE program from the site. It is usually in the same place as the BIOS upgrade bin file, and can be found with a little searching of the site. Then you need to find the most current BIOS for your make of motherboard and download it. This is most likely to be a zipped up bin file that needs to be unzipped before you can use it. Once again, make very sure you are getting the BIOS update bin file for your exact motherboard. Download these two files to your system and you are ready for the next step.
================
Step 3
Go into your control panel, then go into Add/Remove Programs, and you will see a tab saying "Startup Disk". Get a formatted 1.44 floppy and put it into the floppy drive. If the disk is not formatted do so at this time. Create a startup disk within this screen; it is the choice on the far right. After you make a boot disk, find the Phoenix BIOS 4.0, Release 6.1 or the AWD FLASH EXE and copy it onto the boot disk. Find your new BIOS and unzip or extract the new file to the boot disk. This will create a bin file, and it is the actual data for the BIOS Flash. Sometimes the disk will say it is full. If this happens, you can remove these files to free up space on the disk. The following files can be removed from the disk: FDISK, FORMAT and MSCDEX. These are files that are not used or needed in the BIOS flash procedure, so removing them will have no effect on the task at hand. You should also write on a piece of paper the new updated BIOS name. You will need it later in step 4. After all files are successfully extracted, unzipped, and copied on to the start up disk, restart your system with the boot disk inserted into the floppy drive. If your system does not boot to the floppy, you will need to go into your BIOS and change your boot sequence to search for a floppy drive and make the floppy the first boot device. This will enable the floppy to read the boot disk at startup.
================
Step 4
Once your system boots to the Windows Options screen after reading the floppy disk, hit the F5 key and this will bring you to the A: prompt. Type "Dir" (this is a DOS command meaning show the directory) in the chosen drive or file you wish to read. This will show you all the files on the boot disk or selected file. Find the name of your flash EXE and the name of the update bin file, and type the command "cd awd flash exe" or the name of your BIOS flash EXE. This will bring you into the flash BIOS programming screen. You will be asked to type in the name of the new BIOS you are trying to upgrade to. Type in the name of the new BIOS bin, and remember it is case sensitive. If you typed in the correct file name you will come to a prompt asking if you want to save the old BIOS. When asked, select "Yes", so in case the new BIOS does not improve or destabilizes your system you can always flash it back. If you get any error messages do not flash the BIOS. If it is the right file for the right motherboard you will be prompted to save the old BIOS, and then it will ask you to flash new BIOS at this time. Select "Yes" and the firmware will update itself, and you will be told by the program that the flash was successful on the update screen
===============
Step 5
Restart your computer. If you followed my instructions, in the left hand corner of the POSTing screen you will see the new BIOS version number. Enter the BIOS again by hitting the Delete or F2 key, and choose "set BIOS to default settings". Restart the system and go back into the BIOS, then you can adjust your BIOS to whatever your settings were before or choose new settings. Restart your computer and you should be off and running. If you do not like how the new BIOS affects your system, follow the steps and re-flash your BIOS off the saved bin file you created when you flashed the BIOS. If for some reason the system does not restart, you will have to contact your vendor or manufacturer. The EPROM chip can go bad sometimes, even when everything was smooth sailing, and will have to be changed out. This procedure is not for the meek, as it is a delicate task and should be done by the vendor or manufacturer of your product.
ok now at the end the = Conclusion
This is a lot easier than most of you thought, and now you won't have to stress on flashing your BIOS in the future. I have to use a flash program every day to one motherboard or another, and it is either smooth as butter or just not meant to be. I hope this helped some of you who were a little timid about this procedure; to you I wish good luck. If you still feel daunted, you can take it some where to have it done by a so-called professional. But if you're like me, you go stir crazy without your computer, so I tend to live on the wild side and do my own upgrades and BIOS flashes. If done right this is a very simple procedure, and can be accomplished by even a novice computer user.
I would add as a an after note that if your system is working fine and you don't need to flash your BIOS, do not do it. A BIOS flash should only be done if you are having system problems, or are using equipment which the current BIOS does not support and flashing the BIOS would support the new hardware. The age-old motto is: "if it isn't broke, don't fix it."
Doc out.
but hey dont forget The decision to upgrade your BIOS is yours. By following the procedures outlined in this article you agree that Motherboard HomeWorld is in no way liable or responsible for any resulting loss of system functionality. If your system is working without problems or conflicts, then it is not recommended that you flash your BIOS.
thanx to whom who did helped me out to find this answer for my stupid bios problems KAA KAA KAA
