How do you decide which BIOS update to use?

[micro]

I have CF94510J.15A.0028.2006.1213.1629

The computer (emachine with XP home in it, but was originally vist
which was wiped out and XP installed) keeps shutting down and telling m
there is something wrong with registry files on boot up but says that i
had to go look for them elsewhere and found/fixed the problem. (I'v
been running this computer without incident for over a year now) It'l
run for a while then shut down again. When I sent error report int
windows, it tells me I need to update the BIOS but the numbers on th
updates don't match up with my mobo. (Processor Intel pentium D 925) A
unsure and don't want to mess up the flash... anyone able to help?
This computer runs the automation for my radio station which i
currently off air. An expedited answer would sure be MUCH appreciated
My advertisers are paying by the minute for their airtime!

Thanks in advance!

First of all, the only place you should get an BIOS update is from the
manufacturer's website. Any other place would be too risky IMHO. And if
it has been working for a year, it is hard to believe it needs a BIOS
update now. Giving us more info on the error message would be a great
help. Also is this a desktop or a laptop?
