First off welcome to the windows Seven forums.
Second, you will get better results starting a new thread instead of bumping a year old one.
It has been my experience that flashing your BIOS resets all the settings to factory defaults. They may even be the Failsafe Defaults, which can hurt performance. My advice would be to go though all your BIOS settings, especially the boot order, and set it back to optimized settings.
