Flashing a BIOS can be done improperly though and it is nearly impossible to recover after an improper flash.

the only time you should flash a bios is when needed not just for fun but in this case the tempature sensor is bad so he needs to flash it to make it read correctly...hey you have to start somewhere

flashing the biso is accaully not that difficult but it is replacing the firmware of your mobo so if you were too loose power in the process your mobo would be bad because it has corrupt firmware so basically don't do it when its storming, make sure the cables are tight and not going to come loose and by all means don't accidently kick the surge protector, so if you do that and follow the instructions on the manufacturers site and make sure you have the correct version from there you should not have any troubble
