Question-2: How can I update my BIOS version and change Motherboard manufacturer’s splash screen & logo?
Answer: BIOS [ Basic Input Output System ] software is stored on a non-volatile ROM chip on the motherboard. It is specifically designed to work with each particular model of computer, interfacing with various devices that make up the complementary chipset of the system. In modern computer systems, the BIOS contents is stored on an EEPROM chip so that the contents can be rewritten without removing the chip from the motherboard. This allows BIOS software to be easily upgraded to add new features or fix bugs. If your PC’s Motherboard is of Intel, you can update your motherboard’s BIOS version, splash screen & logo using Intel Integrator Assistant. It should be done by advanced users or professionals. But it’s very easy!
