Pavilion a1102n: BOOT ERROR CAUSED BY CORRUPT BIOS?

When I try to start the computer, I get an error message which is full of spelling mistakes. When I try to boot from a CD, I get the same message, so I think that it was impossible to HARD drive but is most likely a BIOS or motherboard problem. But spelling errors make me think that it's the BIOS. How can I confirm a bad BIOS, and how to fix it if that's what it is?

Could you explain what the error message said, Word for Word, and you're still able to boot in Windows XP

  • White screen of HP Pavilion dv5 1002nr start-up and error code lights flashes twice, corrupt BIOS!

    Equipped with a corrupt BIOS, I struggle to try to replace the BIOS of the motherboard.

    The processor is a AMD Turion series.

    Question, can anyone tell me definitively when the BIOS chip is located on the motherboard.  It seems to be next to the RTC battery on a piece of white under layer in the cutting of a transparent plastic layer.

    Also, is this the only way to save the laptop from the corrupted BIOS will not work the POSITION for me to get into the BIOS to try to restore or update?

    It is laptop a grandson and grandpas still inherit this type of problems.

    I'd appreciate any help, instructions or information on this seemingly hopeless situation.

    Thank you

    You are right about the location of the BIOS chip, this is a chip of 8 spindles/leg next to the battery.  The only other option if you are sure it's bios is to replace the motherboard.  The bios chip is on ebay for $20 to $30.  I have the same problem with the same laptop and I think I'll just bite the bullet and replace the motherboard, if the problem was caused by overheating it could have other problems that surface after replacing the bios chip and you will be chasing ghosts.  The motherboard is also on ebay for $ 119 to $ 175, for the moment.  I hope this helps.

  • Restart problems, error Disk Boot error, if please install disk and press a key

    Original title: problems of Reboot

    When I restart my computer it say "Disk Boot error, if please install disk and press a key:?"

    Hello

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    2. have you changed the BIOS boot device?

    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    This could be related to:

    · Startup options is not correctly defined in the BIOS

    · A non bootable CD is in your CD player

    · You don't have any boot device

    · You have installed a new hard drive

    · The hard drive is not properly connected

    · Your system files have been infected

    Change the boot order in the CMOS (BIOS) settings so that your disc is the first in the list.

    a. restart the computer.
    b. new computers often display a startup (or boot) menu. In the start menu, choose "Configuration of the BIOS," or "BIOS settings," or something similar.

    Procedures vary depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DELETE, ESC) or a combination of keys immediately after you
    turn on your computer but before Windows starts. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer again.

    c. the BIOS configuration screen appears. On the BIOS Setup screen, choose the option called "Boot order" or something similar. Startup command settings can also be saved
    under "Advanced settings" or something similar.
    d. Select your drive from DVD or USB drive as first boot device.
    e. restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved.


    BIOS WARNING
    : modification of the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

  • Equium A60-157: error caused by device driver

    Hi all

    I try to write my thesis at the moment and am hampered by my laptop! It keeps randomly, which brings to the top of the blue screen of death, then by restarting; When everything is loaded to the top, I get a "serious error" message that says "error caused by the device driver. As far as I know, all the programs I have are compatible... I was advised to restore the factory settings, which I did a few months ago. And I got the BIOS update for my computer. But it is always the case!

    If it helps, the programs I use daily are Microsoft Word, Access, Powerpoint, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. I do not run any games high spec (only Minesweeper occasionally!)

    What can I do? Does anyone else have this problem? Any advice would be much appreciated, because these accidents do not help us to my work!

    Thank you...

    Hello

    It's not easy to tell which device is causing the error.
    What you can do is to check the device drivers. Visit the page of the Toshiba driver and check if there is a new version of driver for example graphic driver.

    Also sometimes this error message appears if the module of memory is faulty.

    What you can do is to use the Microsoft Online Crash Analysis.
    Maybe if you can identify this evil s.

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion g7-1338dx. I used recently to minimized Image Recovery on my PC for restore Windows 7 after I decided I liked Windows 7 better.

  • Envy 17-j043cl: corrupted BIOS

    Problem started when my daughter has added a second HD and we have installed Linux on this drive. There is no entry for Linux BIOS boot change the default boot order, and all attempts to make changes only not good for the worst. We tried to go to the legacy mode, which promtped a reboot and the next screen to enter a code to take effect and a prompt for boot options, which never came to the top. When we went back into the BIOS, it shows the inheritance is always disabled. Enabling secure boot restarts even in a code to enter, but this also fails. Currently, we have tried to activate either (secure boot and legacy are disabled). Win 10 defective ACPI_BIOS_ERROR before secure boot disabled. We can enter the BIOS and go to Boot Options, navigate to the file boot firmly his Linux and efi. Linux works fine, we were not able to boot on a Windows 10 DVD to try to repair Windows 10 and at this point can't get secure startup, or legacy startup to activate. We also tried allowing only an administrator BIOS password but no change, still unable to activate.

    We tried F9 to restore the default BIOS, no change. We tried the menu to restore default BIOS, no change. We have tried, perhaps thinking that something has corrupted the BIOS, to level or to reflash the BIOS with BIOS version even. F.66 currently. His ID card system is 1965. The problem with all BIOS download for its Touchsmart from HP Envy 17-j043cl and unregistered is they don't have that file system board BIOS code 1966 1961, but hers is 1965. Without an exact match, we at our end to get this matter resolved. Any ideas? This sounds like a corrupted BIOS? Why does it seem impossible allow a secure start or inheritance? Is the boot options locked so as to only allow to boot Windows normally from the BIOS? Pointers or other ideas to help are appreciated.

    Joe

    Yes! It is fixed. Inside the interface EFI partition was the 01966.bin file, the last touch to this riddle. We were able to reflash it to the same version, F.66, USB, we had created since the softpaq (sp73289.exe), via the system, firmware management Diagnostics. It flashed fine and then started right Windows 10, so nothing on the disk hard Windows has been tampered. We'll put to start first at openSUSE 42.1 Leap and may start in Windows 10 in the Menu of Grub easier than playing with BIOS options each time.

    Thank you, DoughJohn, for all your help.

  • Satellite L505-13Z - BOOT error

    Hi all, I have a Satellite L505-13Z. After the hard drive recovery, something went wrong and I had only the F12 page.
    I used the recovery DVDs. It worked for an hour to install win7, then he did a reboot and I saw the windows screen, so that it starts again and stopped working: whenever I turn it on, I have the F12 screen, choose a place to start. Hard drive is detected, but if I choose what it I got the "Boot error" and back to the same page.

    I would try Hiren boot to check if the hard disk is OK or not. How will I know if it's only the hard drive or something else?

    Thank you

    UPDATE.
    I used a bootable cd with Hiren and each test on hard disk and RAM are OK, no errors.
    I inserted the DVD to see if he had the option to repair an installation, but do not, so I installed again. In the end, we asked me to remove the DVD and restart; I did and I went to loop: win 7 was updating registry, reboot, win 7 has been updated to register...

    I wondered if the DVD has been damaged, but is no way to download from microsoft, a Windows 7 copy, because when I insert my response series is to ask the supplier...

    What can I do?

  • Equium A60 - error caused by the RAM problem - Windows tool does not work!

    Hi all

    When closing my laptop, I got the blue "screen of death" and it restarts, windows came with this analysis of the accident: "error caused by the memory problem to live: run the Windows tool". I downloaded diagnostic tool (mstinst.exe), he opened so I got "windiag.iso" and he burned on a CD like they told me (the use of 'Record Now') and then I put in the CD drive and rebooted my computer. But it did not launch the tool! Does anyone know why it went wrong and how can I make it work? Even if I got the tool to work, I would be able to solve the problems of RAM anyway, just taking my laptop to a repair center?

    Thanks :)

    I put t know if you have seen this page http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp but there you can find a detailed explanation of how to use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool.

    Hello

    Just give it go as I have suggested. Insert the CD containing the rom file renamed and shut down the PC. Now turn on. If the process is going to work, the rom file will be detected on the CD and read in to Flash the BIOS.  If this does not work, then you will need to send it in for repair.  Depending on the age, it may not be worth the cost to do so.
