I have been running BOINC for several years to participate in various distributed computing environments and have been using those two computers almost exclusively as compute platforms for that purpose. This all started one day recently when I decided to upgrade two of my older Linux systems. So I need to approach BIOS upgrades a bit differently. There is a Windows application that can install BIOS upgrades on modern computers while Windows is running but that is obviously not an option for me.
And that can be a problem for those of us who don't use Windows in any form, like me. Most sysadmins also would agree that "if it is not broken, don't fix it." Upgrading BIOS just to get to the latest level is counter-productive in terms of the time it takes, but also can cause problems that did not previously exist.īut sometimes it does become necessary.
In fact, most motherboard manufacturers, including Intel, recommend against upgrading BIOS unless there is a specific problem that an upgrade to a specific BIOS level will fix.
