Latest should be patchable.
Flash your BIOS at your own risk.

Thanks NikS, I install that version but now can’t fix time and doesn’t recognize hard drive in BIOS, just freez on both setup and I have to turn off system but problem with restarting is gone. Time is not so impotant because it fixes itself from the Windows and I use Easy Bios from Maxtor just when I need to make partitions on hard drive. Main thing for me is that now doesn’t freez after restarting.
Thanx again!

I tried with that one but only difference is in number of BIOS. All functions are the same. Didn’t help but thanks anyway.

Model number looks like a QDI mainboard. For motherboards of this age best use Uniflash - www.uniflash.org

It's a QDI Legend Excellent series motherboard.
Every zipped QDI BIOS update comes with it's own flasher.
More than 100,000 BIOS strings in my database just now!
