    Hey Doc, I update my motherboard bios all the time . But you have to feel confident doing it. If the new graphics card seems to be working ok I'd leave it. All the bios updates do is remove bugs from previous versions and sometimes make PC run cooler faster and no crashes. Bit like upgrading your operating system. Let's hope graphics card has solved the problem.

    I've just gotten back online after updating the ASRock Z77Pro4-M Motherboard Bios, it seems to have been successfully updated, the previous Bios version was P1.60, and the updated version is P2.00, you could think of a Motherboard's Bios as being like a mini operating-system, the Hackintosh PC seems to be liking the new Graphics Card so far, I'm going to try leaving the Hackintosh PC running for an extended period of time as a way to "Soak-Test" it, if the Hackintosh PC keeps running without spontaneously shutting-down, then I'll assume that everything's okay, I've been thinking of upgrading the Power Supply in my DAW PC from a 600 Watter to something like a 750 Watter, or maybe an 800 Watter if I can get one for a good price, if so, then I'll put the 600 Watter PSU in my Hackintosh PC, I also need to buy a couple of new Sata DVD Burner Drives, two new Optical Mice, and two new Keyboards at some stage.


    I checked in Windows 10 Device Manager, and everything seems to be working good, so far there's no "Unknown Devices" issues.
