Might be useful to start recording exactly what the errors are. I'd change your CMOS battery, and see if you still get the wrong BIOS error. Since the machine seems to have trouble finishing defrag, run the HDD manufacturer's boot diagnostics and see if there are errors.

What RAM are you using with that board?
