Hello. I would like to know how to backup my current BIOS. I googled it but i found instructions i didn't fully understand. I need to update BIOS to eliminate some problems with CPU fan. I read that it is good to back up your BIOS in case something goes wrong while updating.
My mobo: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01077641
Current version of BIOS: 5.11 New version of BIOS 5.13
Version 5.13 bios link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-60387-1

tnx :)

You could backup the BIOS but if the update fails it fails (you can't restore; you have to move the BIOS chip to another board and flash it there)
BTW I've updated the BIOSes at least 30 times and never ran into any issues.
