Hello,

I have the following BIOS version.

BIOS
Brand Phoenix Technologies, LTD

Im wondering is there any new updates for it, and would there be much point in doing it.

The BIOS is specifically written for your Motherboard. Without info on your motherboard, we can't confirm there is an upgrade or not. New Bios'es usually come up to ~2 years after release of the computer, so if you bought your PC after 2004, there is a possibility that an upgrade is available, but having the motherboard's specifications would be a base for searching. Or the brand and model of the PC.

David, when you have no problems with your hardware than leave it as it is; Updating a BIOS could be risky, do something wrong and you will render your PC (portable) useless (hence, some motherboard manufacturers place 2 BIOS on one board).

Welcome to the forums by the way, but change the animated avatar please (or I have to do it ;)).
