Still under warranty ?
If yes you could try taking it back.
Say nothing about flashing the bios. 
If you admit to that then warranty maybe void.

If it's out of warranty then you may have to buy a new motherboard
which means a new cpu, ram etc.... depending how old the board is and
if the newer boards are compatible with the cpu and ram youcurrently
have. Things get outdated so quickly these days.

PS. Is anything on the pc over clocked?
If yes then undo it so it's back to what it's suppose to be then
reboot. Of course unplug the power supply and make sure to earth
yourself before going into your pc for a look.
