MSI mainboard MS-7046 as OEM-version for Medion - updates only available via www.medion.com

Edit: Medion lists three MS-7046 but as your Bios version is 2.0G the 2.1C Bios of 2005 should be what you need. Don't use the 1.x or 3.x Bios.

Medion should have some instructions, too.
Is there really a need to update your Bios? It sounds as if you are not experienced with Bios updates so if there's no urgent need of updating please leave the machine at it's current state.
