Pls Help (error:0175 bad crc1,stop POST task)

[dypo]

hi,
Been using my ibm t20 laptop for some months but was surprised to get this error when i tried putting it on this message pops up
ERROR 0175:BAD CRC1 STOP POST TASK
CPU=Inter(r) mobile mobile intel(r)pentium(r)3 processor-mprocessor 866mhz
638k system ram passed

atapi cd-rom:sony cd-rw crx700e

error
0175:bad crc1,stop POST task.
press f1 to enter set up or press f12 to choose temporary boot device.
But when i tried pressing f1 or f12 nothing happens so am really confused cos i dont know what's actually wrong with the laptop and what could possibly have caused the error.
pls reply as soon as possible.
thanks
dypo

try to enter the cmos setup utility. Try entering using a extra keyboard. If u use usb type keyboard then make sure ur system bios supports it and is enabled.
