Buy a new BIOS from the manufacturer.

Buy a new bios chip?...nah, sometimes the chip is soldered in.

The 'system' does not save a backup copy of the old bios info, but it may just have some new setting in the newly flashed bios that causing the crashes. 1) go into the bios and look around, try to set stuff up to some sort of normal. 2) set the bios to the factory defaults or just default, and try that. or, 3) go here and read the FAQs...you can get your old bios back by downloading it from the mobos web site or maybe here at this site.
