Sorry but the fact that previously unplayable games now play ok suggests that in this instance the Hogwarts game is the issue here.
Check the voltage in the BIOS and use the PC for playing all the other games before you update the BIOS, if all is ok dont risk a BIOS update but instead try reinstalling the one problematic game.Comment

Is a BIOS update risky? What might happen?Comment

If the computer were to lose power for some reason while you were updating the BIOS the motherboard would be rendered useless, see my canned info below regarding updating drivers and the BIOS.
Once Windows has been installed, you install the necessary drivers for the MB and other hardware and then leave well alone, drivers should not be allowed to auto update and you should never update any driver/s unless the new drivers are intended to resolve a specific issue that you are having, installing new drivers unnecessarily can actually cause you the very issues that any new drivers are intended to resolve and uninstalling the new drivers may not resolve the problem/s that installing the new drivers has caused.
Depending on priority it can take many months before the driver provider releases any fix and depending on the age of the hardware or software concerned they sometimes do not even bother or may have already announced an end of support.
[COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]The exact same policy applies to the BIOS, do not update it unless it is advised by the manufacturer of the hardware or alternatively if it is to allow for a CPU upgrade.
Updating things for no reason has a 50/50 chance of bricking your computer, don`t gamble unless you can (A) Do without the computer (B) have loads of spare cash and can buy a new one with no problem or (C) Both of the previous.[/COLOR]Comment
