Upgrade the American Megatrends BIOS
To keep your American Megatrends motherboard updated, upgrade your Basic Input Output System, or BIOS. The BIOS allows your motherboard and other hardware to properly communicate with your operating system. If you change your operating system or hardware, an upgrade is often needed to solve any problems. Issues with your power supply, memory or hard drive can also be solved and sometimes prevented with an BIOS upgrade.
