AA number not programmed on this system..Press enter to continue

[karlog22]

Hello All,

Since today, whenever i boot up my system. This message "AA number not programmed on this computer.. Press enter to continue" shows up while boot up every time. when i press enter windows loads fine. the first time this occurred. the Realtek audio drivers were missing and it got it automatically from the windows update. later on every time when i boot up the error message still remains. but no other drivers were re installed or updated like the first time. I would like to get rid of this message.

Also other software utilities like IDU, CPU-Z, speccy cannot identify the board model.

(Not sure where to post this, thats why posted here)

Try updating the BIOS. It has helped with other people.

The computer won't boot up anymore. It won't even do the initial POTS test.

When i switch it on just the power led glows and stays on. Nothing happens.

So does that mean its a motherboard issue?? Is it worth fixing it?? I mean can it be?
