You mention that you are experiencing a similar problem in both Windows and Linux. Normally I would conclude it to be a hardware problem such as bad video memory or similar, however you also mention it only occurs after the video BIOS update, so it is just as likely to be a BIOS bug introduced with the BIOS update. Since Intel video hardware uses the system RAM for video, you may be able to test this by setting the onboard memory to the smallest amount and running memtest86 to test your system memory, however that may be inconclusive. The most important observation though is that the failures are in Windows as well. That definitely points to it being a video hardware or firmware issue of some kind. I recommend contacting your motherboard vendor about this problem and getting a new BIOS update when one comes available, or putting the original BIOS back for now.
