Your BIOS is detecting a hardware problem. About the only thing you can do yourself is to remove the memory cards one at a time to see if bad memory is causing the problem. The next step would be to have a local PC repair shop diagnose the problem.

Good Luck

Hi Nakazzi Syivia,

Are you able to load the BIOS menu? If there is no problem reaching BIOS, this may be a hard drive issue. It is possible that the PC simply cannot read the OS correctly and that is why you are not able to load it. In that case, use a OS installation drive (a DVD or a pendrive) and try to Repair the installation. That option fixes some system errors without harming the data. If that does not solve it, you may need to reinstall the OS. Have in mind that this way you will lose all data stored on the primary partition. If you have valuable information there, you may need to back it up first. You can do so by removing the drive and connecting it to a desktop PC. Have in mind that if the PC is under warranty, opening it will void the warranty.

Hope this helps
