The easiest way to identify the make and model of your motherboard is to look in the user manual of your mainboard. Additionally, the full model name (such as P5E3 Deluxe) is usually found somewhere on the board itself. It's important to get the full name as there are usually subtly different versions. Plus, you should note down the revision number (for example REV 1.03G) as it may require a different BIOS file to previous revisions.
If you have a laptop, you need only to find that make and exact model of the machine itself.
Next step is to visit your manufacturer's support page and check its listings for your PC, because if you download and install a BIOS intended for a different model, your PC probably won't work (although most BIOS updaters are smart enough to notice if you try to install them on the wrong hardware). If there is a BIOS update file available, grab it along with any documentation it comes with, because often warnings and specific instructions are contained in the "Read me" docs.
Also, remember, when you want to update BIOS be sure that you're PC can finish it. For this you must have an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) to be sure that if your electricy go down, your PC will have a second Power Source. For laptops, be sure that you keep your battery in your device and also make sure that is pluged in.
