  • This morning when I switched on my pc it automatically started updating the BIOS. I don't really have a large knowledge on this subjects so I went to the internet to search what was that update about as I got a little frightened by some message that said I could possibly see flashes on my screen during the process, for example. Fortunately that didn't happened. I got this pc 4 or 5 days ago, so should I be concerned about this type of update?
