Hello! I recently had an issue where I started up my laptop and realized I am having an issue with my graphics card. I had the same issue a few months ago, however was able to correct it by updating my BIOS to the latest version. My issue is that now I need to do it again, but since I am using the latest version the BIOS WinFlash will not let me update it. Is it possible to update a bios manually without it? would it be safe? even If I just roll it back 1 update? How would I go about doing so if I can even do this?
Thank you so much!

If you are already using the latest BIOS, running it again won't do anything, it will just say you already have the latest version. You can't go backwards in versions, I have only run into a very few BIOS setups that let you do that, and all were older systems.

You can try to reset the BIOS to defaults in the BIOS options, see if that helps. It may just be a hardware issue with the video card also, doing anything in the BIOS won't help you then.
