510 – Splash Screen Image Corrupt On XP

1.Step to fix this “Splash Screen” error is to find out

your BIOS version, Computer Model and

Name(manufacturer). Go to START/RUN and type inside

dxdiag then press enter.
A screen is opening showing you ,among other info, the

PC Model name,and BIOS version
Note these two somewhere.

2.Go to the HP (assuming it is HP) site and search for “Rom Flash Utilities

686P2” where the last number is the BIOS’s version.
result should look like this : “CPQFlash Utility for

Compaq Models with a 686P2 Family ROM”
3. Download and install following the instruction in the

“readme” ,in the computer to fix.

Be aware, this is a BIOS flashing, check twice the bios

and pc model before installing. Flashing the BIOS

wrongly will kill that computer for good.
