That is the error I get when I load up my computer. You see this on a black screen with alittle blue stick figure guy on the top left hand corner, right next to the beginning words of "Phoenix". I don't know whats wrong. How can I fix this.

I know nothing about computers and am willing to listen. Thank you.
 
Hit Del and once you're in the bios find "Load Optimized Defaults" or something similar to that. After you do that save your settings and exit. Hopefully that will get your computer running again.

I'm a little curious how it got in that state to begin with though. Did you change/upgrade your hardware recently?
 
I usually move my computer between to houses. I also go to lan parties/centers often so taking my computer isn't exactly a chore for me anymore. Although it may weigh 80 pounds, it is nothing after doing it for 4 years.

There is a possibility the CMOS battery is already dead or dying and not storing your bios setup any more. However, try the first suggestion first and then if the same problem persists, replace the CMOS battery.
 
Oh snap... I'm getting a new computer in the following weeks. I just need a job and 200 more dollars 🙁. I did the following suggestion and it didn't want to work with me. I think I might need to deal with it alittle more longer.
