Hi Comet, why do you suspect your BIOS ? not power supply defect, bent CPU pins ?
Did you try minimum system ? no grafikcard, only 1 ram stick (maybe change socket), only one sdd ?
Do you get an error code ?
Did the Bios update seem to succeed ?

Was it working before and you didn't change anything, normal settings ?

I doubt you'll be able to swap that chip.
