is anybody familiar with this boot error screen the white box on the right says IBM in it
Operating System, processor, at what point in the boot sequence does this APPEAR, what have you recently installed, what have you done to try to eliminate this error???.

More info, More info, More infosorry this is a friends COMPUTER that hasnt been booted up for a few years i didnt even know he had it so i know no specs but he says that it goes through the memory SELF test then beeps twice then this screen comes upLook on the VENDORS web oage and that will tell you waht the beeps indicate. ie, long beeps, shorts beeps and how many.
the beeping is a form of error reportingIf it ain't been booted for a "few years" the cmos battery has probably gone into meltdown. Regardless, it should be replaced anyway.
