Please exercise caution while updating the bios. Do not interrupt the process by any means. If u do not get any confirmation wait for atleast 5 minutes before proceeding. An improper flashing will damage the motherboard permanently.

Well, chk ur BIOS if there is some option to enable cache........... its a long shot but worth a try.

I will go to a comp shop tomorrow to buy some stuff, i will ask their engineer abt ur problem too.

L2 cache details are usually displayed in the bios, please go through the various tabs to see them listed.
