Uh.... Some warning appears randomly after the Dell splash screen is shown!

Pretty much.
"Alert! Previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint [D0]. For help in resolving this problem, please note the checkpoint and contact Dell Technical Support."
And after 3 seconds, it goes away and boots up the computer normally. Any help in what this problem is trying to tell me?:question:
My computer is a:
Dell XPS 8000
Intel Core i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80 GHz 2.79 GHz (Processor)
8 GB of RAM
64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium (full version, genuine copy)
And tell me how to get it away!:wcc:
Try updating your BIOS. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling your CMOS battery.
reinstall cmos battery first
What is the CMOS battery and what does it look like? I've heard of most computer parts but I have [B]never[/B] heard about something like that. And if this is complicated, I'll stick with the error. It's not annoying. And besides, it started happening since the second week of computer usage. How does it have to do with this stupid error anyways? I thought of updating BIOS first than doing something complicated.
contact dell support
lol Dell.
Also here. Look for this.

If he doesn't even know what the CMOS battery is, he does NOT need to be in the computer, ESPECIALLY since it seems to still be in warranty.
Just go to Dell Support.
Ok. The message really does not bother me, if that's the case. What does bother me is GMod getting source errors all the time.
