Unfortunately, the very unreal-time behavior of Linux is unsuited to
bios flashing. You could write a flasher, but it would probably ruin
them much of the time.
If this is a common problem, I'd expect google to have some answers.
In particular a search for the mother board model, TNT2 and "interrupt"
or something like that.
