Today, ASRock has made available new BIOS packages targeted at several of its motherboards, which include various changes that improve the compatible devices’ overall performance and stability.

Specifically speaking, the producer has released BIOS version 1.30 developed for the D1800M, Q1900M, and Z97 Extreme6 units, as well as the 1.40 variant compatible with the D1800B-ITX, Q1900B-ITX, and QC5000-ITX/WiFi motherboards.

In addition to that, ASRock has also outed the 2.00, 2.10, and 2.20 BIOS packages targeted at its B85M Pro4, H87M Pro4, and H87M boards, respectively.

When it comes to changes, the new versions update the Crashless module, Video BIOS, and CPU code, enhances the USB and SATA compatibility, and adds DRAM Voltage information as well as an “IGPU Multi-Monitor” item in the setup menu.

However, bear in mind that not all modifications apply to each of the compatible devices. You can view the full changelog for a specific motherboard on the description page of its related downloadable package.

As for updating to these releases, first view the currently installed BIOS version to make sure it isn’t either newer or matches the latest build. If checked, get the proper package for your board and try to apply it in a steady power environment, such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

That being said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your ASRock device, get the latest update, and apply it on your motherboard.
