1. You should never attempt to solve a problem like this by updating the BIOS, it
will not fix the problem, and it could make matters worse.
2. In this particular case, it probably didn't matter. You have a hardware problem,
the BIOS setup screen is entirely independent of the operating system. You need to
take it into a reputable shop. You could open the case and make sure that all connectors
are well seated, but this is not likely to be the cause if the computer has not been
moved.
