If this is the same machine from the other posts, it may be time for a new machine.

From what I can understand from your post, you may need to flash the BIOS.

I wanted to insert a hyperlink, this should get you started, make sure you note what kind of BIOS you are currently running.  (Phoenix http://www.phoenix.com/en/Home/default.htm is probably the most popular).  American Megatrend http://www.ami.com/is another popular one.

Happy hunting.
