No. The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System. The drivers you're searching for typically come bundled with your chipset drivers.
The BIOS regulates how the hardware in your system will interact with each other. The Operating System does this, as well - but, the BIOS does so at the most basic machine level. Incorrect settings in the BIOS will affect how your system functions regardless of anything you change in the Operating System.
When you update your BIOS to a new version, sometimes you have to 'flash' it by using a formatted boot floppy with the update files on it. However, with most newer motherboards, this isn't necessary and the BIOS can be updated from within the Operating System just like a driver update.
When you update a BIOS, this usually gives it more functionality or fixes certain bugs that hinder the overall system performance. Sometimes with OEM motherboards, updating the BIOS can unlock certain features that were locked by the OEM, such as overclocking.
This differs from a driver update because drivers regulate how the hardware interact with the Operating System. However, the BIOS is independent of the OS and will be present regardless of which, if any, OS is installed.

Hello Mister dont fiddle with your BIOS ,the BIOS is located on the motherboard ,it works just like a Bus conductor when all the passengers get in the bus the conductor tells the driver to move on,in the same way the BIOS checks for all Components and drives in the motherboard and sees that a;; settings are fine then the computer gets booted from there.
You must be having a Cd which came with your motherboard use that.
Or else go to the net and type in specifically the Motheboard model and download the drivers or go to the official website of the Motherboard.
