Go to your motherboard manufacturer's website and look for the proper update to your BIOS. There should be instructions on what to do with the file. Some offer a utility that will let you update it from within windows, some let you create a floppy and update it manually. This will vary from one manufacturer to another.
What might you need to update the BIOS for anyway? You having some issue?
