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.
