Driver updates—yes, I know they're not fun, but we've all got to do them. At the very least, they're somewhat less nerve-wracking than a BIOS update; I know I really should do those more often, too, but the thought of something going awry part-way through just makes me queasy. Asus at least has a driver tool called DriverHub to make things easier. Unfortunately, a recent Hub bug may have left the back door open to hackers.
If you've got an Asus motherboard or an otherwise prebuilt system, you should update DriverHub now, as your system may be at risk of a remote code execution attack (via Hot Hardware).
