Flash BIOS Method Introduction

Method 1 : Dual BIOS / Q-Flash
A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?
Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the Main BIOS and the
other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the Main BIOS. If the Main
BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the system is powered on. This means
that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing has happened in your BIOS.
B. How to use Dual BIOS and Q-Flash Utility?

you to enter Award BIOS CMOS SETUP, then press <F8> to enter Flash utility.
