Steps
-
1Check if your motherboard’s BIOS is up-to-date. You can do this by clicking on the search bar, pulling up the Run program, and typing msinfo32 into the search bar. This pulls up a new window with your system specs, including the version of BIOS your system is running.
- If your version of BIOS isn’t the latest version, go to the manufacturer’s website and try to locate the latest BIOS software for your motherboard.
