What happens if the BIOS fails?

If your BIOS update procedure fails, your system will be useless until you replace the BIOS code. You have two options: Install a replacement BIOS chip (if the BIOS is located in a socketed chip). Use the BIOS recovery feature (available on many systems with surface-mounted or soldered-in-place BIOS chips).
