Last time I had problems like this it was down to the memory. In your case
there are two possible ideas that come to mind, either the memory has
developed a fault, or (and more likely) when you cleared the BIOS settings
it went back to a default setting that is not full compatible with your
setup.
You might like to cheack and see if you can find a recommended set of memory
settings for the motherboard, memory and processor by trawling the web.
No assurances that this will sole your problems, so
Good luck!
