Has that PC just had it's BIOS flashed cos that error means that the BIOS ROM code doesn't match the one that was generated the last time the PC was booted up.

You could try clearing the CMOS, if this doesn't work (it probably won't) you will either have to try to flash the BIOS, get a new BIOS ROM or a whole new motherboard.
