    Disable "System BIOS Shadowing" in your BIOS options. It may also be "System BIOS Cacheable" or other simliar options.

    This can create the exact same problem you're having, although it could very well be something else such as memory. You can test your memory with www.memtest.com (Let it run for several hours).
