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.

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.
