Whew, I just scared myself.
What used to be called the BIOS, (Basic Input Output System) had been replaced with the UEFI now. That is the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. Just rolls off the tongue doesn't it?
Anyway since my motherboard is new, it had the factory installed BIOS, um er, UEFI so I wanted to update it to the new and improved version on the manufacturers site. It is supposed to make it faster and more stable, always good things. The new UEFI is from 12/13/2019 so fairly new.
So I download it, install it and expected it to reboot once. It rebooted 5 times, and kept doing different things. I really started sweating when it came up with a warning to reset the drives to RAID or data might be lost. I checked and it was still set to RAID, and it indeed had the new driver versions in the UEFI
One more reboot, and it restarted itself one more time as a bonus I guess and finally came back to Windows. Phew. I sure did not want a 70 pound brick instead of my computer. Phew again.
