Will updating bios from a motherboard program fix my memory issue?

[ChipsAhoyMcCoy]

My memory on task manager gradually increases over time. It starts at 20 % idle and then keeps increasing. Then in games it lags a lot and there is stuttering. My motherboard program has a bios update available for my asrock z97killer. Restarting my computer fixes the issue and keeps going back to 20 but then it increases again.

Find out what issues the BIOS update addresses. And, it is a good idea to update the BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer's website per their instructions.

It says that it addresses usb odd compatibility and and deep sleep function.

It's OK and a good idea to update the BIOS. The memory problems that you are facing may be due to glitches in the gaming (or other) programs.

Memory fixes are in almost every BIOS update and don't get listed (same with many other things, they generally just list one or two points in the 'summary'...Might also check for Malware and virus(s)

You've probably been infected by some sort of Virus/Malware, and you're going to want to scan for viruses using something like Malwarebytes. I don't think that it's a problem with your BIOS, but you should still always keep your BIOS up to date.

Try the BIOS update. As long as you do it right, it can only help.

I did the bios update because it said it fixed "memory sharing". I'm gonna play some games and see what happens.
