Try reseating your graphics card and ensure the cable connections are firmly on too...
Intermittant faults are the hardest to pin down, but I don't think it's your BIOS...

That is true a weak battery won't stop from booting but once you are in there cleaning and checking things it would be a great time to replace the battery which most of us forget to do until it dies. Yes it could be a motherboard. If it was my computer I would try another power supply or have a local computer store test it for you. A power supply can provide power to some parts of the m/b and not to other parts.
UPDATE
hi all :)
i cleaned the machine and checked all power fixings changed the m/b battery i re-seated all pci adapters i use i checked all the h/drives connectors un-plugged/re-plugged and so far every thing seems fine no booting issues or power issues but will update with any new occurrences thanks to all that gave advice :)
just thought i would update no problems with machine i updated the PSU to 500w coolermaster Elite and things seem to be running more efficiently now.:)
