Bios Upgrade

Following a Dell alert I just upgraded bios 2.2.1 with 2.3.2 on my Dimension E520 with vista home premium.Followed all directions but when trying to reboot the shutting down went on forever.I finally shutdown and rebooted via the manual power switch.How can I look up the bios version to see if the upgrade was successful.

    Download and run the Belarc Advisor   www.belarc.com 
     
    It will profile all of your hardware and software and list the BIOS level.
