Do you have a clue what a BIOS is?

Go to the site for the maker of your MOBO and see what you can find in
the way of BIOS updates.

yes i know what bios is and the problem had nothing to do with bios in
the first place i forgot to only leave 2gb of ram when installing vista
so problem solved.so lock i guess.

Vista 64x takes 4gb min, otherwise only install 32bit

I have a similar issue. I rebuilt a computer which uses an OEM mobo
made by Asus. The BIOS flash thats supposed to work doesn't flash.

You're right BIOS shouldn't be the issue. Best of luck
