How to Optimize the BIOS for FIFA

Play FIFA world cup championship games without a glitch when you update the BIOS.

FIFA soccer and FIFA football games are manufactured by Electronic Arts and fashioned after Federation International Football Association (FIFA) World Cup soccer games held each year. FIFA games allow users to participate and play their favorite teams against each other for the World Cup soccer championship. But because these games have high definition graphics and require a large amount of computer processing, the computer used to play the games should be in optimum condition. If the computer does not have the latest Basic Input Output System (BIOS) updates for the motherboard, the PC can freeze, experience stops and restarts or can simply reset the game play, all of which can be extremely frustrating when playing a team for the championship game.

Instructions

Update Bios Driver

1. Look over the PC box or laptop and find the computer make and model. Write this number down as well as the computer serial number if there is one.

2. Turn on the computer and open a web browser. Navigate to the computer manufacturer website. Click on the "Support" or "Downloads" tab and click on "Drivers and Downloads." Input the computer model number and you will see a list of driver options appear.

3. Download any read files that go with your BIOS update. Read this document before you download and install a new BIOS update. This will give you a list of functions and fixes that come with the new update.

4. Click the BIOS driver link and if a list of all the available updated Bios drivers appears, choose the latest version to download. Otherwise, choose the BIOS driver that is listed and download it, as this will be the latest update.

5. Click on the new downloaded icon twice to initialize the installation. Follow the installation wizard directions until the program completes and restart the computer.

6. Enter the initial setup screen as your computer starts up before you see the Windows logo. To enter this screen press "F2" or the appropriate "F" key for your computer. The prompt will tell you what this key is on start up. The prompt is usually at the bottom of the welcome black computer screen. Press the "F" key specified continuously until you enter the setup screen.

7. Look for BIOS setting options and disable the following settings if available: Hidden refresh, VGA palette snoop, DAC snoop and any Caching Shadowing options. Press "F10" to save the options and "Esc" to get out of the setup screen.

8. Place your FIFA game in the CD device and play as you normally do.
