CHIP???? A chip doesn't control this except on really new MB's with a dual Bios setup. usually you can go to the MB manufactors website and down load a new bios upgrade. they will give you instructions on how to do the install.

Most motherboards these days (I'd say 99%) allow you to upgrade the bios Version without removing it from the board.

Some manufacturers (ASUS is one) even have a software program that allows you to update the bios while in windows.
