I think you are right to suspect a corrupted BIOS. Try loading BIOS defaults and then reconfigure.

Yes, I think you need to reset your BIOS. Do it by whatever method your manual recommends -- also, go into your BIOS and see if there's an entry named something like "reset ESCD". If so, enable that (we want to reset the ESCD). Additionally, judging from the specs (PIII, 256 MB RAM) this computer might be a little old? Perhaps your BIOS battery is dying or has died. I would get a replacemement...
