If you think it's a warm up problem, boot the system and stop the boot at
either the BIOS screen or the BootManager screen and let the system heat
up for 5 minutes or so.

BIOS upgrades are really no harder than any other software upgrade. All
you need is a DOS boot diskette and the MB manufacturer's flash tool.
Replacing the MB offers many more opportunities to break something.
