Why do you need to update your Bios? If your computer is too slow then get some more memory. Running XP with only 256MB is really slow.

coz when i run my games it freezes the unit.. i consulted the viode card manufacturer and the told me to update my bios

Other sources of problems:
CPU or VGA overheating, insuffient Power supply.

Does your computer totally freeze or does it give an error message ?

another source: the os and the drivers. go and update the os with the latest service packs. after that get the latest vga driver (and extract it to your harddisk), uninstall the current vga driver completely (reboot needed!) and install the latest driver from your harddisk.

it just freezes without any error message.. i got all the latest drivers but itstill is the same.. so they said to update the bios..
