I did update the bios, but the pc still has this problems :
3F3 - Hard disk failure
slow start over 1 minute
not always load the programs fully or slowly.
I did try
reset Cmos (The 2 pins)
take the battery out of the motherboard
replace the ram (24GB ram/only 16 can be used)
defragment the drives
scan the drives for virus (found)
replace the C: drive with another SSD
update the Bios
Update DIAG.
Chk disk
reinstall MBR
rebuildBCD
I noticed when the PC have been on some hour it start to loose HD nr 2
any solution ? and thank you for the answer

hi
is that why you want the bios update?
rather you have a problem with your system disk...
You say you have changed the SSD disk, except, it is a particular system, see the discussion here
if it is the same thing, than not configured, then it is possible that this replacement is useless, and in this case it is the HDD disk, which is having problems..
but I don't know more about what you did exactly? ..
hdd 1 TB
16 GB Disk Caching solid state drive
please perform the hardware tests
everything is explained in this link
