Your Gateway Gt5056 desktop computer utilizes the BIOS to run through a series of system checks each time the computer is powered on. The original BIOS that came with the computer isn’t always capable of handling every new hardware device, so if you install new components it may also be necessary to update the BIOS. In order to flash the current BIOS to the latest version, you only need to run an update file provided by Gateway.
