Windows 10: How can I update my BIOS?

After the Fall Creators Update, my mom's PC (The 2nd PC under my Specs) has been having issues. When I shut it down, it acts as if its restarting whenever I press the power button to power it back up again.

It has an American Megatrends BIOS. I looked up their beep codes, and 1 short beep means DRAM Refresh failure. I am wondering if a BIOS update will fix it.

The latest BIOS update for this PC is from 2015 which I don't know how to install. Acer has listed a not so helpful tutorial on how to do it.

Should I take the RAM out and put it back in?

Thanks, in advance!

Simple answer, you can't the 520 is among the many phones that are not supported for running windows 10 mobile.

You will not get Windows 10 mobile for that phone.

Insider or public release builds it just doesn't matter your phone is not supported.

 

Only if the OEM of the computer or Motherboard manufacturer if you built the machine, has issued a update. If you are getting errors, has nothing to do with a bios update. May be dust or a failing motherboard.

 

I’m not getting any errors. Acer has not released any updates since 2015. I don’t know how to update the BIOS to the latest as the instructions are complicated.

 

It just beeps at startup.

 

This is for an Acer laptop....but the procedure is same......

Then you most likely have the update if it matches what Acer has out there. You state that you think that it is the RAM, pull it, blow it out and see if reseating the RAM fixes it. If not, you may have a dead machine and will have to go through figuring out if it is something else.

 

The BIOS isn't the latest. The current BIOS dates from 2014. The updated BIOS is from 2015. But I don't know how to install it, since the instructions for that version is complicated.

 

@Plankton, the BIOS that it wants me to install has to be installed by restarting the computer and booting into the BIOS and then flashing it. It will not let me do it from the desktop.

In the post above you indicated that the method was via the bios but that was seen in the Acer instructions. Were did you see that? Can you post that into the thread as it seem different than the above Acer instructions.

 

I don't know where you downloaded the bios update from, but I just got this...
Date: 2014/05/15
Version11-B0

...from here: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/conten...oduct/5175?b=1
(you don't want P11.B4L, apparently that one is for Linux)

If you extract the zip file you will find various folders and a Readme.pdf saying:

Then shows a UAC prompt to allow the Windows-based flash utility to run.

Edit: The most recent seems to be...
Date: 2015/07/16Version: P11.B2
...which includes a README_WIN.pdf the same instructions.

 

When I took the side off to reseat the RAM, this was unplugged. Anyone know where it belongs? Also, it’s making a long beep sound upon startup now.

Update: That piece doesn't go to anything. However, I have reseated the memory and it still making the long beep sound.
