I'm no expert but my guess is that you need more RAM. What version of Windows do you use? I know that Vista uses a lot of memory & GWX adds a lot of objects (ships, planes, etc.) that aren't present in the stock game. Those extra objects get loaded into memory every time you start the game; that's why it takes so long to load. You can try using the "Lite Harbor" mod included in GWX to lessen the strain on your pc. It reduces the amount of ships in friendly harbors. If you have the SH 3 Cmdr add-on the latest version lets you start patrols at sea, which also takes some of the load off the computer.

I don't know if it's a problem with your AGP port. All I can tell you is that the GWX add-on takes a lot of your system's resources to run. Using the "Lite Harbor" mod or "Starting Patrols at Sea" can help lesson the load on your pc but if you're getting critical bios errors then you have a big problem. Unfortunately I don't know very much about the bios. Ask a technical person & be extremely careful about making changes to the bios because if you make a mistake you can permanently damage your system.
