Answer:

Flashing it means to update it with a new program. You shouldn’t do it unless you need to do so in order to fix something. If power goes out while flashing, you can be left with an unbootable computer.

Flashing the BIOS is akin to updating software on your operating system but is a different process because the BIOS software is stored, not the hard drive, but rather on a chip on the motherboard.
