Fix 3
Please try the latest BIOS. I recommend you to use AFUDOS to update BIOS. You need to unzip it to get the ROM file.
You should use the command as follows:
AFUDOS /i[biosname]
or, afudos /i A:\BIOSNAME.rom(if the BIOS file is in the floppy disk)
You
can store your BIOS into a floppy disk or a hard disk with FAT format.
Then, you will be able to use AFUDOS to access the BIOS ROM file.
If
it is not convenient for you to use DOS and AFUDOS, you can try to use
EZ Flash. You can save the BIOS file into a flash disk then boot the
system and enter BIOS, then you can update your BIOS by EZ Flash which
is in the BIOS Tools page. Please load the default settings in BIOS
after you have succeeded updating BIOS.

try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line dust causes static to build up in a computer causing it to overheat any many other problems
One bad lead will cause your computer to shut down or continue in a cycle
replace all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA the ones that attach from your motherboard to your hard drive
