I don't know what rom is?

ROM = Read Only Memory

In this case, it probably refers to the CMOS (BIOS) chip. Try clearing the BIOS, then run thru all the settings & correct them again. You *may* simply need to replace the CMOS battery.

"But i never got into bios/cmos before aways left it to default"

Default BIOS settings are generic...they are meant to get the system up & running, or used as a fallback point if there's a problem. They are generally NOT meant to be used "permanently". The performance difference between a properly configured BIOS & "default settings" can be as much as 25-30%. That being said, your HP/Compaq BIOS probably isn't very "tweakable", but still, the setting options should be reviewed & adjusted to best work with the hardware you're running.

According to the link you posted, error message 101 means "Replace ROM or Replace System Board", so it's possible your motherboard is failing.

What about the beep code? Are you getting "1 long, 2 short" or no beeps at all?

None no beeps.

On the page the error is
(101 - I/O ROM Error)

IO Output/Input right.
ROM Read Only Memory.
