How to update BIOS for Acer Aspire M3450

[Kudrow888]

Hi,
I am upgrading my Acer Aspire M3450 desktop's existing videocard to PNY GeForce GTX 650 and I have also upgraded my PSU to Corsair CX 500. I have installed them correctly and after I tested my new video card, it wont let me go into the Set-up or installation process. I called PNY Tech Support and told them what happened and they advised me to Update my BIOS which was originally at P01-A1 dated 9/23/2011. I was able to check a newer BIOS version in the Acer Website which is P01.A4 dated 8/8/2012. Can anyone please help me to update my BIOS step by step becasue I don't wanna brick my CPU. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Download the BIOS Update from the acer website. It comes in a zip file format.
Extract this to a temporary location on your hard drive.
Inside you will find a folder called WinTool, choose 32 or 64-bit as per your Windows version.
You can then do the update from within Windows.
