but you dont have to update your bios try defragmenting your hard drive first to some check to your computer before updating your bios

You also might want to check your timings on the ram. Isn't there something about how if you have 4 slots of ram filled you have to change from 2T to 1T?

have you installed the chipset drivers?
installing the chipset drivers (if not installed) will enable the graphics card to work in AGP mode, instead of the PCI mode they default to... just a thought.
