Startup problem
When I start or restart my pc, before windows loads, it beeps and I get a screen that says this:
POST Startup Error
The following errors were detected when the system was started
262 Configuration change has occurred
162 Configuration change has occurred
Select 1 of the following:
Continue
Exit Setup
I have tried going into setup but I have no idea what change has occurred or anything.
When I go to exit setup, it's fine and starts up ok. I get no other messages or anything. I want to get rid of this so I don't have to do this every time.
Thanks!

a POST (power on self test) is the intial bootup sequence when your computer starts up. hardware configurations are stored and checked during boot up. for some reason it looks like yours has changed. if you havent made any changes, then it might be a hardware problem or something simply like a failing CMOS battery which provides the "juice" to store the config when pc is off. i would start with your pc manuf. website/forum or find a good pc/hardware forum.
