Startup error-- HELP
hey, im have an old IBM computer running on windows 98. When i go to start it up it comes up with the BIOS background and it says:
"Post Start Up Error(s) The following error(s) were detected when your system was started: 1762 Configuration change has occured 162 Configuration change has occured" then it goes on for me to go into BIOS and what not. if i exit bios it goes to a blank black screen and nothing happens. When i go into BIOS i have no idea what to do. i tryed changing around alot of settings and testing out what works and what doesnt work but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? |

Okay, look at the back of your machine and find the 4 character Machine Type number and 3 character Model number. It could also be just a string of 7 numbers and letters.

First, I would just try going into the BIOS and hit the "exit and save" option. Have you performed any recent upgrades or configuration changes? Do you have a surge protector and has there been any power outages/brownouts/surges while the computer was on? |
