Updating the BIOS carries an inherent risk, and should not be attempted unless one knows exactly what one's doing.
I recently updated my BIOS when I installed 4 GB of RAM; the old BIOS was outdated and unable to use the new sticks, so I updated to the most recent version. Worked like a charm.
And yes, Windows utilities are a bad idea.
Glad you got everything sorted.
