That's odd, maybe one is a backup bios or something. Never seen that before though.

well besides that my computer can't turn on, nor is it clear enough for me to see what it is saying. I need some serious help here.

Have you tried a different video card? Just install it and plug the monitor in it and boot and it will automaticly use the new one. (at least that's what someone told me... I always though you had to disable it but I can never find anywhere to)

I really need help with this since my computer is notr working. It might be the video card becuase it's getting messed up, but It won't even boot into linux, Like I see it says "uncompressing kernel" and then the screen get's even harder to read.

Most likely the video card. Try a different one to see first, and then buy a new one.
