Look for bios for model GA-6BXC motherboard.

I doubt a bios update will solve your problem. When a pc won't start after installing hardware, it's usually because of a hardware conflict. Look in Device Manager to see if you have any free resources for the card to use. If not, then disable com2 in pc bios setup and that will free up a resource for the card to use.
