全量更新和增量更新

There are few things as irritating as a Blue Screen of Death, but sometimes there is an easy fix for it like updating the BIOS for instance. If multiple updates are available though, do you do incremental updates or can you just use the latest version directly? Today’s SuperUser Q&A post has some helpful advice for a curious reader.

很少有像“藍屏死機”那樣令人煩惱的事情，但是有時有一個簡單的解決方法，例如更新BIOS。 但是，如果有多個更新可用，您是否進行增量更新，還是可以直接使用最新版本？ 今天的“超級用戶問答”帖子為好奇的讀者提供了一些有用的建議。

問題 (The Question)

SuperUser reader Sam J. Dennis wants to know if he should do incremental updates or just use the latest version to bring his computer’s BIOS up to date:

超級用戶讀者Sam J. Dennis想知道他應該執行增量更新還是僅使用最新版本來更新其計算機的BIOS：

I have been experiencing some BSOD issues and one of the recommendations for fixing the STOP: Error I have seen is a BIOS update. I went to the ASUS website, found the motherboard I am using (P8Z77), and noticed that there are about 5-6 updates to the version of BIOS the motherboard currently has on it.

我一直在遇到一些BSOD問題，并且修復STOP的建議之一：我看到的錯誤是BIOS更新。 我訪問了ASUS網站，找到了我正在使用的主板(P8Z77)，并注意到該主板當前具有的BIOS版本大約有5-6個更新。

What is the best thing for me to do? Do I do incremental flashes from the current version on the motherboard all the way up to the latest version available, or can I just flash the latest version directly?

對我來說最好的事情是什么？ 我是從主板上的當前版本一直升級到可用的最新版本，還是可以直接刷新最新版本？

Which is better, incremental updates or using the latest version only?

增量更新或僅使用最新版本哪個更好？

答案 (The Answer)

SuperUser contributors Ayan and Tonny have the answer for us. First up, Ayan:

超級用戶貢獻者Ayan和Tonny為我們找到了答案。 首先，Ayan：

You can simply flash the latest version of BIOS. The firmware is always provided as a full image that overwrites the old one, not as a patch, so the latest version will contain all the fixes and features that were added in the previous versions. There is no need for incremental updates.

您只需刷新BIOS的最新版本即可。 固件始終以覆蓋舊版本的完整映像而不是補丁程序的形式提供，因此最新版本將包含以前版本中添加的所有修補程序和功能。 不需要增量更新。

Followed by the answer from Tonny:

隨后是Tonny的回答：

Just a word of advice. After any flash you should always reset the BIOS settings to factory default, then reconfigure the settings to the way you want them to be. Sometimes a new version of BIOS uses previously configured values in a different way. Resetting to default values ensures that all settings have a properly defined value (using the internal logic of the new BIOS version).

只是一個建議。 刷新后，應始終將BIOS設置重置為出廠默認設置，然后將設置重新配置為所需的設置。 有時，新版BIOS會以其他方式使用先前配置的值。 重置為默認值可確保所有設置都具有正確定義的值(使用新BIOS版本的內部邏輯)。
