At www.badflash.com we replace bios chips. Most often this message is received on 
older motherboards when the bios chip wears out. Older motherboards used flash chips 
that were only good for around 1000 flashes. Depending on your bios, the ESCD may 
be updated each time you boot up. When this happens you will normally see a message 
stating "UPDATING ESCD.... Success" or in your case, failure. The ESCD is stored 
in the bios chip.

This usually causes no harm unless you change hardware in your system, but it will 
take longer for the system to boot up. If you attempt to update you bios, the process 
will likely fail and you will have a dead motherboard.

The chip can be replaced if it  is in a socket. That is what we do.
