you need to know what motherboard is in ur system before u can even think about looking for updating ur bios

Probably different HAL.DLL for the changed system. Or deleted / uninstalled too many drivers. Usually best to not delete anything, just install, boot to SAFE mode, then rescan for devices, etc...
