rule of thumb regarding bios update:if you don't know about it you most likely don't need it.

Completely agree with what whitestar has said.
Anyway, I won't be installing any system critical update using a 3rd party software. Check out your motherboards's support page on its manufacturers website. If it contains some major update like fixing some critical issue and you're hell bent on installing the update, read the instructions given in the manual or on the support page to the word. Any issue while updating will make your system unusable and you would need to send your motherboard for RMA.

Most motherboard manufacturers provide thier own bios update software. You can use those. Make sure that you have UPS back up. I have
flashed my bios 5 times without any problems.
