You can TRY to flash the BIOS. CRC indicates that it's having difficulty reading from something basically. If it's doing that during POST, it's having trouble reading something extremely important. Might have something grounded or a bad motherboard.
When you write a block of data to the disk-drive, a 'CRC' value is calculated, based on the data, and both the 'data' and the 'CRC' are written to the disk-drive. When you ask to read that 'data', both the 'data' and the 'CRC' are read. The 'CRC' is recalculated, based on the data actually read. The "new" CRC is checked against the "old" CRC. If there is a mismatch, you have a 'CRC check' event, implying that the data you wrote could *NOT* be accurately retrieved.
So, it's probable that your disk-drive is "dying" -- it cannot accurately store your data. Replace it.
Firstly, this error is generated due to a couple
of different reasons. First, there may actually be a problem with the
power circuitry and the CRC function is actually doing it's job
reporting the error. There are several tests you can perform to tell if this is the case with your system.
Secondly, this bad CRC error can be generated by sudden power loss to the system, especially if the system loses power during boot up or POST process. Both mean that there could be a problem with the motherboard and it needs replacing.
Try the steps below to determine what is wrong.
1) Start the system and watch the status lights in the LCD hinge or near
the power button. They should flash once (some models twice) before the
system shows a display. If they flash 3 times or more, you have a power
problem.
2) Start the system and allow it to reach the CRC "stop post task" error message. Let it sit at this error for several hours. The system should sit at this error for ever or until user intervention occurs.
3) Some things to watch for while the system is sitting at the CRC error
and running for several hours would be: Screen going black, System
rebooting, System powering off, ect.. ect.. ANY activity by the system
is a warning that power problems exist in the system.
4) Try restarting the system several times consecutively, shut the
system down by holding the power button for 5 seconds, then restart
keeping an eye on the status lights for any additional flickers.
All the above tests should be done with AC power applied and battery installed. Also ALL drives installed.
sounds as if one of your memory modules is defect. CRC stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check and is a form of checking the memory. If you have two modules inside, take on out and see what happens.
If it beeps (which it should) means that some device did not pass post. Find your motherboard online and look up the beep codes. This should help you to discover the problem. I hope this helps!
the crc is the cyclic redundance check your bios is corrupt. you will need to flash the bios to bring it back the internal bios bottery will need to be removed for 1 min then replace. it should bring it back if not you bios chip has burnt out. i have never replaced a bios chip but you will have to find one to replace it
This error seems to represent motherboard problems and most likely requires new motherboard. Unfortunately most laptops that are a few years old arent worth fixing, unless you can do it yourself. Try to find a used model same as yours for parts.
Good luck!
The CRC error (POST = power on startup test) on boot up refers to the BIOS settings. This could be cause by a near flat BIOS battery and it needs to be replaces. If it is not the battery you need go to the BIOS to correct any faulty settings.
crc (cyclic redundancy check) error can be fixed. the check sum on the
chip has been corrupted. the content of the eeprom must re-written back
to the chip after correction. for more info, check this: www.password-removal.com
