February's third BIOS listing comprises a new piece of software for Asrock's X79 Extreme4 board, now reaching version 1.70, with minor revisions addressing the overclock table and the turbo issue affecting one of the CPU's' cores.

Next in line comes the Lenovo BIOS; we've begun delving the pile of Lenovo computers, so there's going to be a lot of them in the future. We're also presenting you with another notebook form Gigabyte, the Q2532M unit, with its latest BIOS, version 209.

Then there's two more additions for MSI's DE220 nettop unit; we believe it's the same BIOS generation, but each of the two files is intended for the corresponding "flavor" of the computer. MSI DE220 is more like a barebone system, so you can have it with Silicon or Jmicron controllers hence the two BIOSes.

Finally, another notebook BIOS from HP, for the G70-111EA unit. And here are the links:

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent BIOS version available. Do not forget to check with our site as often as possible in order to stay updated on the latest BIOS files.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a BIOS or device driver. This will help if you installed a wrong BIOS or driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
