I'm wondering if someone can help me solve a PC problem... For the past few days, I've had a box come up telling me that I have an "IA Error" . . . then it takes a number of clicks to get rid of the boxes that continually show up... The messages are: ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Baseboard ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Chassis ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Disk ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: DmiBios ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Hardware Resources ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: I/O Ports ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Input Devices ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Memory ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Operating System ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Power Supply ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: Processor ... \.. ciaKern.cpp::62 Unable to locate component: System I have tried an on-line virus scan to no effect, and have looked at my hardware . . . one of my components is flagged yellow (Advanced Power Management support) but when I try to update the driver from the Windows CD and Windows live update, it says "the best driver is already installed" I'm just wondering if I have a problem and how I solve it.

boot with a win98 boot disk. type in a:\scanreg/restore [note the forward slash mark] in the menu, choose the earliest date when those errors wern't appearing. reboot, after. in sall my years, iv'e never seen those errors on a system. it could be a low battery on the motherboard also.

These are IO connection errors, i would also do what KKK said and rin the reg restore but i highly doubt its a lowbattry problem, the other way to fix this and its what i would try first is to go to control panal and then system, change tab to devices and reinstall the IO controllers

What program are you running when you get that error?
