page fault in nonpaged area almost always implies faulty RAM. Take one of the RAM sticks out and see if it solves the problem, if not put it back and take out the other one. If that solves the problem, get some new RAM, if it doesn't, get back to us.

Hmm, that suggests it can't find the hard drive. Have you changed anything regarding the hard disk, moved any cables etc?
If not, the hard drive may be your problem not the RAM...
Do you have another PC you can put that hard disk in to test it?

Look in that other PC just in case it has S-ATA ports on it. An old Athlon XP PC I owned had 2 SATA ports on the board and I didn't even realise. I say this because you can't do it the other way round (i.e. you can't put the old hard drive in this PC and run it to test)

A BIOS won't simply stop working by itself, I highly doubt updating your BIOS will solve your reboot issues.
