    Try removing the cooler & reseating the cpu. Remember to clean the old thermal paste with acetone & apply new stuff.

    You might have better luck if ya posted in comp/tech forum

    a bit delayed but maybe you havent find a solution yet.
    I think your motherboard is an old abit. By pressing the "Del" button you will enter in Bios. From there you must go to Soft Menu and set the fsb of your cpu. If it is celeron then set it to 66 if it is Pentium 2 set it to 100. If it pentium 3 then you have to tell me the model. After that go to Boot sequence and set your first boot device to be the hard disk you have.

    If still nothing happen then tell us if you have done any changes before you faced this error.

    ps.sorry for my bad english...
