Very helpful that you can run hardware diagnostics out of the BIOS, I had no idea that was possible. In the beginning of the video it talks about using fake BIOS. What exactly is fake BIOS and why would it be beneficial?

Fake BIOS is the BIOS for virtual machines.
It doesn't exist for real but maybe virtual BIOS would have been a better name. -

If your graphics card was failing would that show up in the diagnostics as well? This will be a great tool if you suspect hardware failure. As to the fake BIOS, if you make changes in the virtual environment will it show you a reflection of those changes?

Depends on the diagnostics. As external hardware, diagnostics of it tend to be more limited.
