Your IRQs are a mess (as to be expected with today's motherboards and old OS's that only allow 16 IRQs).
First off, if you are not using your COM Ports, I would go into the BIOS and disable COM1 and COM 2. That will free up two IRQs for us. If you are not using the Parallel Port, we could free up yet another IRQ. But only if you do not have a printer or your printer is a USB Printer. If you have a USB Mouse, we could turn off the PS2 Port too, which would free up IRQ12.
Then we need to do something about IRQ11. You have your modem, NIC and Vid Card all on the same IRQ. If your Modem and or NIC are PCI Cards, we need to try moving them to another empty PCI Slot and not use the Slot they are currently in, since it is sharing an IRQ with the Vid Card.
Then I would download the latest
ATI Radeon Catalyst Driver for your Vid Card.
Take Care,

P.S. Flashing a BIOS for a Mobo is very simple. Just take a bootable floppy and copy the Flash Utility and the BIOS Image to the floppy. Next boot with the floppy in the Drive. Then run the Flash Utility.
