Go to Start | Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit the Ok button. Insert your CD if/when requested.
Did you attempt this?

What is telling you there is a bios problem?

How are you at flashing your bios?

Can turn your pc into a doorstop if it goes wrong.

When you update the bios for such things as when you upgrade the cpu, or have corrupted bios (which may be your case).
