I'm a little nervous about doing an update as I've never had to do one. I've been getting the blue screen and getting booted off with serious error messages about my bios. I have the flash bios tool with my motherboard so hopefully it won't be too hard. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I usually do it the manual way from BIOS (I don't recommend flashing the BIOS from Windows at all). Go to Asus' support site and find your model of motherboard, download the latest BIOS for it, put it on a flash drive (make sure it is formatted FAT32), boot into your BIOS, open up the BIOS flash utility, select the BIOS on the flashdrive and flash (and pray your power doesn't go out).

maybe you're right marfoo it's safer doing it out of windows, if he feels there is something fishy with his os, he can do what you recommended, of course Im just talking about my experiences, I have flashed my bios 12 times from windows (from version1506 to version2801 ) and thankfully nothing has gone wrong.
