Solve : Scanning Options ROMs on startup? |
|
Answer» When I turn on my computer, a black window comes on saying Scanning Option ROMs and it TAKES a long time now for my computer to load. The black screen stays on for around two minutes. First with the scan options displayed and then a blank window. I have windows xp home edition. It LOOKS LIKE you may need to update BIOS.Thank you for your reply. What is BIOS and how do I update it? I don't know much about how computers operate. Quote What is BIOS and how do I update it?Since you don't know, and updating BIOS may be tricky, I rather avoid any advice here. You may ask around. Maybe some family member, or a friend knows little bit more about computers. If you'll find someone, you may post back here, and we'll go from there.Thank you. Keep us posted. Hello, I finally found out what the PROBLEM was after having it in the computer shop twice and finally bringing it home and having the computer guy come to the house as he couldn't get it to do what it was doing at the shop. It was my card reader for my camera. Whenever I turned on the computer, my computer or MOTHERBOARD or whatever was searching for the reader and thus, the scanning option ROM came up. He told me to turn on the card reader after I turn on the computer. So glad that is all it was. And thanks for all your input on this matter. Good news Thanks for posting back. |
