eli5: Why is it bad to unplug a computer when it’s updating it’s BIOS?
In: Technology
Because then you end up with half the old BIOS and half the new BIOS, and if you aren’t lucky, the two pieces won’t fit together properly and your computer won’t boot.
Some motherboards have a second copy of the BIOS as a backup, which they’ll use if this happens.
