Hello,
When I start desktop HP Pavilion a1250n
XP Media Center Pro, I get a black screen with ROM checksum error: (the first part of the ROM is off the edge of the screen so I can't tell if it's DOS or BIOS, all I see is "OS ROM checksum error")
detect floppy Drive A: trying to boot from it...boot failed; etc. etc.
This puzzles me as I do not have a floppy drive. I've always had to shut down improperly to get out of that halt, being unable to boot. Then when it does boot properly, the images on the screen jerk uncontrollably back and forth, so I restart and it boots correctly. So it seems. but I've also had CD DVD writing problems and program crashes during a burn.
Could these issues be related somehow? Sorry, but I'm not all that knowledgeable, but have searched and researched for a solution; I just don't know enough to troubleshoot correctly. Can you please guide me along?
