Do you think this method is save (replace the chips while under dos) or can I trash my chip easy that way?
You need PLCC Extraction Tool and there is a risk that when removing the Bios Chip or Replacing it can drop on the Motherboard and short it out or Damage the chip or both. So yes there is Risk involved not to mention ESD damage as well it should be done in a rea that is a ESD Work area or at the very least in the Kitchen or Room that does not have Carpeting and you should at a minimum have a ESD Wristband and don't go walking back and forth on Carpet and build up static electricity during the procedure matter of fact less walking or moving you do the better and make sure you have everything you need prior to doing this too.
