How do I update the BIOS when the computer is completely powered off (S5 shutdown state)?

Use Q-Flash Plus. Save the latest BIOS on a USB drive, plug it into the dedicated port, and press the Q-Flash Plus button to flash automatically.

What monitoring tools are available for hardware status inside the PC?

System Information Viewer allows you to display CPU, motherboard information, voltage, temperature, fan speed, and noise levels on the desktop.
