If u do it right flashing the BIOS is no big deal. Download the latest bios and MAKE sure the model and REVISION on ya board are corect for a given motherboard. The just follow instructions that every maker posts on their site. As long as the power will not shut off during flash you should be ok.
In 90% of the cases the flash goes well. In the rest 95% is user fault and 10% manuf. mistake.
