      I would recommend that you update your BIOS only when a critical or security patch is released. Most manufacturers have a mailing list you can subscribe to in order to stay informed about the latest releases, I typically only subscribe to security and critical updates unless it offers any compatibility or performance updates that would directly effect my setup. Otherwise, I only upgrade my BIOS when I have a problem with it (if it’s not broke, don’t fix it).

      If you MUST have the “latest and greatest” (for whatever reason), give the devs a few weeks to work out the kinks. Most significant bugs are worked out within the first six months of the major release, the rest of the updates for that major are usually just slight modifications.
