I would personally NOT suggest flashing your BIOS for no reason.  You are taking the risk of making your MB inoperable!  A bad/incomplete flash will make your board unusable until you replace the bios chip and/or replace your MB!  I personally wouldn't hesitate to do it myself as I have flashed boards for years and know what I am doing.  You are inexperienced and ARE running the latest version for your MB, so even as experienced as I am, I would NOT be taking a risk of flashing it for no reason!

You already have the P33 BIOS according to the AIDA64 pic you posted so no need to even update the BIOS. Slanty kind of pointed that out above in a round-about way without actually saying it.
