I searched this forum for that error and got these results. There are a number of suggestions you might try. The message may be pointing to a motherboard issue as well.

I had the same problem myself this morning... It's a pain but I think I may have narrowed it down...   I knew it was something with the BIOS so the first thing I did was remove all Plug-and-Play Devices like USB stuff... Didn't work...   Then I went to clear the BIOS by removing the CMOS Battery (The shiny, round, sorta watch battery on the Motherboard)... When I put it back in I got further then before on my boot-up... But it said the battery was System Battery was low...   It still gave me a warning... But after I rebooted and had the system plugged in (but still off) for about 20 minutes It finally gave me a nice boot to Windows... I'm not sure if it fixes the problem for good but try making sure the battery is properly seated... Or if that doesn't work... Just try replacing it before you swap out the entire mortherboard.   I'll keep you posted if I relapse.
