Hello! I checked my girlfriend's computer and was curious about the BIOS version, since it's an older pre-built model. When I searched online, I couldn't find any information about it on the ASUS driver site or on Google. It seems like it might have been a Beta version that was later taken off. I wasn't sure if updating the BIOS would be safe, especially since it hasn't been updated since 2014 and the version isn't listed. I didn’t think much of it, but I wanted to make sure before making any changes. Thanks!
The question asks about the need to refresh the BIOS. If the system runs fine and there are no critical patches or new hardware support updates, then updating isn't required. The memory settings seem unusual.
ASUS's BIOS naming pattern usually indicates revisions beginning with a 9 to denote a special version, aimed at resolving particular problems or adding features like resizable BAR. These versions might be tailored for specific manufacturers before release. Beta BIOSes often use codes like 00xx, making a custom naming less likely. Try booting the system to check the BIOS revision date, which helps identify the exact version. Updating the BIOS isn't recommended unless necessary, as it's generally safe to leave it unchanged.
She aimed to switch to Windows 11 but faced issues due to new security settings. I plan to check again tomorrow if possible, though I might have missed it earlier in the BIOS. It wasn't an ASUS ready-made unit—it was assembled by a PC builder in Hungary, which I didn’t trust. He seemed to use whatever materials were available to sell the PC to her. I wish I had known her better before she made the purchase.
The device appears to be a standard generic box without any specific brand identification.
