So I would like to update my mobo's BIOS, i'm familiar with the procedure for my make and model of MOBO, but here's the catch... I live in an area where we get brief but random power outages on a somewhat frequent basis.. Aaargh!
If that happens while i'm flashing my BIOS I could be royally hosed, and I don't want that to happen. Do you guys think hooking my PC up to a UPS might save me from disaster in a scenario where the power blips out like it sometimes does here...??
Also, on average, how long does it take to flash a new BIOS...?? Mobo is an MSI Z370 PC Pro. The BIOS build is about a year old if that makes any difference.
Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated, thanks.
