Actually, updating the BIOS to the newest version is almost ALWAYS a
good thing. If the vendor has heard about such problems, they should
almost always do something to fix it, and apply such fixes to their next
BIOS update. I have fixed many problems (i'm a computer technician) with
BIOS updates. Having XP installed makes no difference, except that you
can (with some MBs) update from within windows. They ALL, however,
support a BIOS update from a bootable DOS floppy. Hope this helps!
