Windows 10: Hypothetical question - BIOS Update Interrupted.

I heard BIOS updates are the riskiest kind of updates. Let's say I was updating my BIOS then something happens which makes the PC shut down unexpectedly. Will Windows need to be re-installed, or is the computer hosed and need physical maintenance?

MSI 5870 BIOS Update

Still can't reproduce. Could you please post the exact BIOSes that produce the issue?

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

Should I update bios?

I would read the warranty before doing anything. If the manufacturer finds out you did something not on their approved list of steps,for example using a program they didn't list, or a bios, etc, they can treat your video card rma like you threw it against the wall , because if something goes wrong and you didn't follow their steps exactly ,it was damaged through human error and they're not likely going to be obligated to cover it warranty wise. I don't know for sure, I just advocate that you check first , and I also advocate that you verify that it's an actual update ,because very rarely do manufacturers release updates for gpu bios'. And they most certainly wont cover a GPU "update" if its a bios file written by some dude in the Ukraine, it has to be a set process, they have predetermined often.
