Well, if you can still use your PC, then the BIOS is probably OK, and is typically the last thing you want to change. Updating BIOS is tricky and, if it goes wrong, your PC can go dead as a doornail. It can be fixed, but reprogramming a CMOS chip that has a defect in the program is an advanced task.

If you are still getting routine crashes, what are the symptoms and the error messages (if any)? It sounds like you might have a defect in one of your sub systems.

If it is a simple software error or lockup you can use the restore command to set your PC operating system back to a date when all was OK.

ps. 44 deg C is an OK temperature for your uP chip

pps. OK I can see your earlier msg describing the problem..
