I can tell you what will happen since I did it today. The update seemed to be taking an exceptionally long time with nothing on the screen so I manually rebooted it. It ended up bricking my computer. Resetting the CMOS does nothing and the backup bios doesn't seem to work either. It will run through several POST codes and then stop on 00. The POST code suggests a CPU problem but I've run this computer with the same CPU for months with no problems. Wish they had been clearer with the instructions.
