You only update the bios if it is to fix a known problem you have.
OR
If the MB does not work with the current CPU
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
 
The speccy is this the new or the old computer?
Do you need Java? If not I would uninstall.
I would uninstall Nortons.
Windows defender is all you need today. You should also change your power plan to balanced.
Any thing other then balanced can cause instability in a desktop PC.
The other plans are made for laptops with a discrete GPU.
 
I'm with Peter, BIOS updates are typically recommended/suggested for brand new builds/QVL compatibility patches, or troubleshooting.

While new boards have a lot of recovery features, a failed BIOS update can brick a board - rendering it useless. It's not something to toy around with unless you have to.

the speccy is from my current setup. Only reason I have java is for minecraft and I meant to get rid of norton, it just installed when installing all the drivers form the usb that came with the motherboard.
