Not sure if this is the right subforum. 

 

System specs:

 

Model: HP Pavilion p6522f desktop PC

Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9 Ghz

Memory: 8 GB RAM installed  (2 sticks x4)

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 graphics card

 

Motherboard: CPU-Z tells me it's a "FOXCONN" model "2A92 1.01" and the BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. v 6.09 09/07/2010.

 

My BIOS seems very out of date (3 years old) and I would like to update it. I use this computer for gaming, and Borderlands 2 is unreasonably laggy even on mid/low settings, and I've read in multiple places that making sure the BIOS is updated is an effective fix. How do I go about doing this? What's the right .exe to download and run?
